Projected 5th rounder.  Doesn't have arm strength to become an NFL starter.

Outside the top guys: Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, Allen... Rudolph has a 2-3 round projection.  Jackson a 1-2.

Beyond those two it's kind of a horror show at QB.  None expected to be NFL starting material, an some may struggle to be a backup.

To me, it's Rudolph or Jackson, or pass entirely.  I'd rather an NFL backup/journeyman/retread than a rookie who may struggle to give you even that much.

I feel that Luke Falk can be a starter although it sounds like he'll be there for our third round pick.

He could be there, but I don't share your opinion that he could become a starter.

Maybe, but what kind of starter?  NFL.com comps him to Mike Glennon.  His knocks are that he takes a lot of sacks, and while he has a quick release he doesn't consistently drive the ball.  He may make a decent backup.  In the third that may not be a bad selection.

With no one behind Bortles, I feel we need to go for the higher caliber candidates for more assurance.  Regardless, having a rookie as a backup we'll also have to pick up a veteran as well.  Looks like they aren't going to bid for one, but pick one up off the waiver wire.
