Some minor nit-picks in the draft/FA history you mentioned:

The Davon House (GB corner) signing wasn't an exorbitant contract even though he didn't play up to it  - but he did play pretty well in his first year then fell off. 

About the backs: You need more than one good RB in this league and the team had a shift in the front office this year that likely influenced the early pick there. 

Cyprien was a swing and a miss and Sample can't stay on the field - so they had to keep drafting/signing there too. 

Still -- your point is a good one IMO.  I think they've neglected addressing the QB position some and they either see big untapped potential in Bortles or just didn't like the QB class of 2017.  (or both)  He still has a shot at proving his doubters wrong. 

I like the idea of taking flyers on mid round QBs if your current guy is serviceable but less than ideal. If you hit - you get to pick one to deal away for more draft picks and you may find your franchise guy. 

That was sort of my point. This team has to be among the bottom dwellers when it comes to drafting QBs. They rarely if ever do,  ala Garrard. Maybe Coughlin will make things change in that aspect, but it would be nice to see a guy earn the job.
