1) Who they investigate has maybe a 60% correlation with whether or not they wind up selecting said players and it's probably a safer assumption (given the history of the franchise) that they're doing due diligence to get a better insight into the flaws of guys they might potentially be coaching against as well as to make sure there isn't an Aaron Rodgers-esque Day 1 sleeper out there.

2) The guys worth drafting won't be within reach of 27 and will require draft capital to move up, which I don't believe the FO will deal into the top third of the draft to lock up a QB (and even if they do, it'll be to trade for a player that hedges against a Ford or Maclin departure / cut) of their choosing and will instead wait and see who's available on Day 2 who will probably project to be a capable backup more so than a developmental QBotF just by virtue of how few QBs fit the mould of a QBotF and how many other teams need to find a QB.
