I’ve had the same position since before Judd: spend money on the Portal and get cheap, high upside high school QBs. It’s common sense. Don’t blow your budget on a highly volatile position. If you’re going to spend, pay somebody with college film.
The best QBs in college and pro are either transfers, high-upside sleepers, or both.

In the pros, you have underrated guys like Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Lamar and transfers like Burrow and Hurts.
Pay for a proven transfer and take an athletic (preferably multisport) passer with tools. It’s the formula and the evidence is overwhelming.
Would Judd be my pick? Too many red flags for me. But it makes sense to take a cheap flyer on a potential stud and spend the money on an instant-impact transfer.
