If all you need is a backup (someone to protect the football if the starter goes down) then we easily could have re-signed Henne yet again. A no-brainer... he's been here in the system.

If you want a backup to groom into something more than a guy who protects the football, you draft.

So, IMO, if we sign a vet it's not with the intention that we're "set," it will be with the intention of hedging their bet to find a QB to groom in the draft. The intention I don't feel would be to immediately replace Bortles, but someone who legitimately has a shot at pushing for the job in due time.

To me drafting a QB does seem to be their intention, given it would have been way too easy to re-sign Henne already.
