They can sign Cousins AND STILL SIGN YANNICK AND JALEN DOWN THE ROAD.

Or that if Blake takes the leap forward they want/expect then HE'LL GET JUST AS MUCH MONEY AS COUSINS NEXT YEAR. There is no angle from which that argument makes sense.

Except the angle of drafting a good QB, which everyone seems to think is impossible for some reason. 

We're talking about finding a guy in the late first or late second round potentially that just needs to be as good as, or better than Blake Bortles. This is not exactly the search for the Holy Grail.

I don't see as much risk in this approach as many here apparently.

And a draft pick could actually sit and learn for a year. If Blake flames out, the kid would have had a year to get ready. If Blake takes another step in the right direction, we will hopefully have a nice insurance policy.

Right. 

Which is what I hoped they'd do last year with a guy like Webb in the mid-rounds. Now I hope they take a QB early.
