My argument was more against his point of "Even if the Bears did have their first round pick this year, they are most likely going to consistently end up at drafting in the back half of the draft and you dont find franchise QB there."
Which is a false statement.
You can hit on a QB from anywhere in the draft, and my point was more that most franchise QBs in the league right now actually weren't taken with top 10 picks.
Do you have better odds with a top 10 pick historically? Sure
Does that mean you have no chance or shouldn't try to improve at QB because you don't have a top 10 pick? No, because if that was the situation then teams like the Ravens and Packers would not have drafted guys like Rodgers/Jackson when they did.

No but those two situations are slightly different. Both GB and Baltimore had a QB in place and weren't on the uptick. If the Bears are truly in a position to win, it's hard to use draft capital that high on a player that may not play for you.
