In all seriousness they may be looking at the big name top of draft guys to give them a comparative benchmark for evaluating possible QBs that they could take in the late rounds to groom to be ready as a Mallet #2 QB replacement in 2015. Get a feel for the state of the talent fresh out of college.
I think this spot on although I think it's not limited to 2015. I think we're talking about a Brady-replacement trial run. The team now has a comprehensive grade on most of the top QBs and can compare that with how they play over the next 2-3 years so that the team can then know how they need to tweak their QB evaluation process when the time comes to get Brady's replacement.
