Let's break this down.
The object of playing is to win. -True
The season goal is to win the championship. - Sometimes
QB is the only piece of the championship puzzle they believe is missing from their team. - Assumption and false
They are convinced that this one QB is the only guy who will take them to the championship in the next few years. - Assumption
They spend the next couple of years opportunities (draft picks) to get the chance to select this 1 player. -Assumption
They have planned their teams development, explained, and convinced the owner that this one guy - and only this one guy in the next 2 or 3 drafts can take them over the top. -Assumption
They have taken weeks if not months to plan their draft strategy for this draft with the picks they have remaining. -True but not exclusive
They believe so strongly in this player they have bet their employment and reputation on making the move up for this QB.- Assumption
Believing that he is the only player that will take them to championship means that if they trade back down in the last few minutes, they will give up the chance to get to the championship. - False Assumption as no ONE player gets anyone to a championship, and you don't become a GM or Coach believing so
THEY BELIEVE THE ABOVE TO BE TRUE. - Assumption
It's not about what happens in his career, it's about what they believe at the time they draft - False.
No Front Office is going to spend the future picks and future money to move up to get a player they don't believe in. - True, UNLESS something BETTER is offered, OR something unforseen happens like a picture surfacing of you taking bong hits, a car accident, a murder investigation, a serious health concern etc, etc, etc literally thousands of things that COULD happen.
Given the above, they are not going to trade down at the last minute. - Assumption
There is no reason to wait 10 minutes to hand in the card other than to create some drama. - False. There are literally thousands of reasons from "more marketing time for the NFL" to "death by ceiling fan" and beyond.
