I'm not sure I buy this.

What veteran would you have brought in that would have definitively fixed the position?

Given the finite number of draft picks, it's entirely possible they liked a QB but went with more immediate needs or the better player.

A rookie would not be expected to compete with Bortles his first year.  As much as Houston liked Watson, right now Savage is the starter.  As much as the Chiefs like Mahomes, right now Smith is the starter.  Denver spent a first round pick on Lynch a couple of years ago, but Simien is the starter.

Not just Dave, but it falls on Coughlin too. Another QB should have been brought in and to be honest, it was quite obvious.

Same answer to you.

WHo would you have brought in?
