Warner was already a "pro" when he came in.

First part: What about if we got two beast MLB's? Like Vontaze Burfict and Donta Hightower?
Second part: How can you say Warner entered the league already as a pro? He went into the training camp undrafted, couldn't even throw a ball ten yards. Went on to bag groceries and be in an arena football league, (something that any college qb can do), then got signed to NFL europe playing against mostly guys that never made it to the league or 3rd stringers (similar to the canadian football league), and then went to the Rams in 98...Weeden played 4 seasons at OK state, like Warner at Northern Iowa. Weeden played with better players, but also better competition and defenses(Von Miller, Gerald McCoy, Suh, Amukamara, Aldon Smith, Orakpo, etc.) If Weeden were 21,22, 23, hell even 24 He'd be a first rounder. Age doesn't mean much for the QB position. Hell Vinny Testeverde played till he was 46. Favre played until he was 42. Warner retired at 38, playing 11 years going to 3 super bowls.
Look, I was just like you in terms of Weeden, but in terms of value of where we'll be drafting and being that the good QB's will be gone, and the fact that this guys only weakness is his age, makes it a lot better of a prospect than an unknown inaccurate Tannehill. Every scout likes Weeden, they just wish he was younger. Can't change that but oh well live with it.
