I hope to God, I am wrong, because I want either Rudolph or Mayfield.
I do think Ferguson or Finley would be solid third rounders to develop behind the starter. Can't say I'm on board with Sam Bradford. He just can't be counted on to stay healthy and then the Jags would have to bring in a very inexperienced rookie. Unless Blake does something horrible this Sunday, I believe he deserves a chance to play out his option year. The only other possibility who could be signed at a reasonable rate might by Tyrod Taylor. If the Bills trade for Alex Smith, Tyrod will be available and he does fit well since he takes great care of the ball and has good mobility. He can also throw the deep ball.
Taylor would be more expensive and just as mediocre as Bortles.
It's a little hard to imagine both Bridgewater and Keenum being with Vikings next year. I wouldn't mind Keenum here.

I think it's pretty easy to see. They aren't gonna let Keenum walk and Teddy is loved in Minnesota. I don't think he'll get offered a starting job, so I think he'll take a 3-4 year deal as Keenum's backup.
Lamar Jackson has entered the draft...

I'll laugh for days if someone pays Taylor 19 mil or more

Good news! It now looks like Mason Rudolph may fall to us.
Finley returning to NCSt. There goes one of the 3rd round prospects.

That's too bad. That will also force another team to pick Ferguson in the 2nd round, which would be a reach. Fortunately for the Jaguars, Blake will play well this post-season and the Jags will not be forced to "reach" for a quarterback in the draft.

We won't. It looks like Mason Rudolph may fall to us in round 1 now and he'd be a clear upgrade over Bortles.

Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham is also returning to school and so is OG/OT Martez Ivey of Florida, according to Great Blue North Draft Report.
