If we want to be assured a true franchise QB, what I would do as a GM is trade every single first round pick for a future first round pick until either the QB I absolutely LOVE (ranked number 1 on my board) is sitting at my pick, or I have enough picks to package a deal and move up to get said QB. It may take only a couple of years, or it may take 5 years, but with this strategy it WILL happen eventually. It's essentially "tanking" the draft without really tanking the season. You'd have picks 2-7 every year, but wouldn't have a first round pick until you take that QB.
