Still take him on draft day without hindsight?
I like Pioli's strategy, pick good players at good value, and eventually you will have a roster stocked with talent, manageable for the future and at a good price.
When you believe the guy is there, you make a move for a franchise QB. In the draft, b/c volume of picks isn't nearly as important when the shelf is stocked, you can afford to make a move without hurting the team. Or in FA b/c you have the money to outbid anyone.
Now your young QB has a HUGE leg up to succeed. A bad start can ruin a young talented QB. If he's the guy, your team now has a 10-15 year window, as opposed to wasting the first 3-5 years of his career trying to build a team around him, or ruining his confidence altogether.

Yeah, likely you would still have your third rounders so you would still get houston.
But yea, I'd give up those guys to have Newton. You'd be ahead of where you are right now.
