Bro... this ain't 2015, we won't be drafting high enough to get those guys.
Best case scenario, imo, would be a massive trade from 20 something to the teens for a worthy QB and even still...he's a rookie coming from a non traditional college offense.

You just want to find something to argue about?  I'm not saying those players will be there, but there is absolutely a chance that they will be there - this year more than any other year in recent memory is a year where quarterbacks will slide.  Drew Brees, Kirk Cousins, Sam Bradford, Teddy Bridgewater, Case Keenum, Jimmy Garoppolo, and AJ McCarron are all potential franchise quarterbacks on the move next offseason in free agency.  There is no real consensus on an order that quarterbacks will go in the draft this year, especially this early, and there are a ton of them - Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, Mason Rudolph, and Josh Allen could all go in the 1st round.

Rosen and Darnold declared?
Jackson, Mayfield, Rudolph all gone before pick 20.
Allen is trash.
McCarron is a Bengal next season. Jimmy is a 9er. Keenum is a Vike. Brees ain't going no where, and Cousins ain't worth 30 mil. Bradford is an interesting thought, but dude is made of glass.
Never been a fan of Teddy.
I'm not arguing, just having a discussion on the topic. The move on Bortles contract must be made before the draft as well.

I'm not saying it is impossible to get a better QB situation for next season. I'm not even saying Bortles is "THE MAN", I'm just saying at this point the most logical decision would seem to be playing out the option. Henne can be replaced with any of the 2nd tier veteran bodies in free agency, perhaps even Bradford.
Otherwise we're gambling away the amazing state our roster is now in on either a QB no one wants or a rookie that could be Watson or could be Manziel.

As a fan, who has both defended and been critical of Bortles this season, I'd prefer to roll with Bortles at 19 mil AND draft a QB somewhere in rounds 2-4.
