Obviously, you'd like to see the Jaguars draft Rudolph or Mayfield in the 1st round of the draft and Bortles' performance today makes it very unlikely that this will happen. He had a QBR rating of 94 and didn't turn the ball over. He also made some big throws when the team needed it most. No one will ever call Blake a great quarterback, but the team has won 12 games this season with him as their quarterback. He has significantly improved his ability to take care of the ball and his toughness and durability cannot be questioned. 
Your username could not be more accurate. When the Jags offensive line opens up holes and protects Blake like they did today, this team is tough to beat. Rather than drafting the 4th or 5th rated quarterback at the end of round 1, this team needs to continue to strengthen the line. Imagine Will Hernandez blocking for Fournette. Adding him and a tight end in the 2nd will make this offense hard to defend, especially with the return of AROB. They can still get a developmental quarterback in the 3rd round- maybe even Ferguson from Memphis.

Obviously I still want to trade up and draft a QB and then get an OG and a TE. I don't think today changes our draft plans at all. Yes, Bortles had some good throws, but he was also wildly erratic as well. I don't just wanna win a Superbowl this year, I wanna build a dynasty for years to come, like the Pats have had. I believe we can do that, but we have to upgrade the QB. I personally, don't see any "developmental" QB's in this draft. Outside of Rosen, Mayfield or Rudolph, I'd rather not waste a pick on a QB at all. The more I watch Ferguson's tape, the more skeptical I am of him. I'd still put him and Darnold in the "maybe" category, but both are gonna go so high, (Darnold high 1st, Ferguson 2nd or 3rd) that I think that's to much of a risk to waste a draft pick on a guy, I don't think can be a starter. I don't look at drafting Rosen, Mayfield or Rudolph as drafting the 4th or 5th best QB in the draft. To me, they are the top 3 guys. Taking a QB in round 1, will not hinder us from upgrading the O-Line or TE either. This is a fairly deep draft at both positions. I would not re-sign ARob at all. I like the young guys we have and this is an incredibly deep draft at WR. No need to overpay for an inconsistent WR coming off a major knee injury.
