I see your point but we've already tried drafting a franchise QB at 1-1 and it didn't pan out. So folks will immediately come back with "Carr was ruined because they didn't build an offensive line for him" which kinda makes my point in reverse. The Oilers (God rest their souls) drafted Matthews, Munchak and Steinkuhler in the first round for three straight years, signed Warren Moon out of Canada and had a prolific offense for seven years.
Building an offense around a quality offensive line is just as valid as building around a QB.
Where I'm going with this is that Matthews is the safe pick in this draft. If we're not gobsmacked by Bridgewater, Manziel or Boritles, we can add elsewhere and then take our chance with a good QB at 2-1 bring aboard Ryan Mallett or Kirk Cousins or Matt Cassel and wait for the QBOTF to take over.
