You may be right they wanted Bortles to feel secure.  I think it's more likely that:

a.  They thought they could get a Bortles closer to 2015 than 2016 and could get the most out of him;

b.  they didn't see a more viable alternative, either in free agency or the draft.

Heck I don't see any viable alternatives anywhere right now.  The draft was not a QB friendly class and free agency was awful.  I laugh at the Kaep seekers.  The guy was down to being coached for a single read.


Trubisky, Mahomes, and Kizer have all looked fine.  I'm not sure why you're saying the draft wasn't QB friendly.  Not to mention that Kizer could've been a realistic target for us.
