Not necessarily. They’re basically checking out Kessler for 5 months. If they like him, he’s a cheap backup. If not, they drop him.

If they do like one of the QBs in this draft, they can take them no problem.

What’s odd is that I don’t know where a single rookie would start this year for the Jags. Maybe RG?

This QB class, beyond the top of the class, is hot garbage.

I could see Rudolph or Jackson with the first pick, QBs with potential to push Blake eventually.  But I certainly don't see anything worth selecting later that are backup ceiling caliber "talent."

It's nice that our draft picks aren't being forced to start, and will have to compete for roster and depth chart positions.  It means you're getting better top to bottom for sure.
