That's irrelevant. Every pick is tradeable and history has shown those picks are traded when there's a top 10 worthy qb. When there's a FQB at stake and you know they carry 1st overall value then all it takes is one team to slober enough to trade up to 1 to ensure they land him. No one knows what other teams are thinking and if he's "your guy" you have to think others see the same thing and you go get him. Just look at what the Bears gave up to move up 1 spot for Trubisky when there wasn't a qb needy team lurking around and Trubisky wasn't on Haskins level.
If you look at Haskins valuation at this point relative to other number 1 qb's, he's ranked top 10 on almost every big board out there. Higher than most had Goff, Wentz, Mayfield, or Allen. Everytime a qb has near unanimous top 10 value as a prospect they go either 1st (or at the very least top 3). The fact that there's a consensus that he's worthy of a really high pick makes him a prime target as he's not a reach at any slot.
