Quote:My draft prediction is as follows:

 

1)We will draft either Bridgewater, Bortles or Maziel...If we trade back, it will only be as far as we can ensure we get one of those 3 QB's.

 

Ex..say Houston goes Clowney, St. Louis takes Watkins...We are sitting at #3, with all 3 QB's...We either take our pick of the 3 QB's (if we really feel strongly about one of them) or we trade back with either the Raiders (who need a QB) at #5 or say Atlanta at #6(say they are targeting Mathews)...

 

I'm saying there is no way we leave the 1st round without a QB.  The draft is too deep so there is no way we trade UP in the 1st 3 rounds and give up picks.  My gut tells me they aren't going to cross their fingers that "their guy" at QB is still there in the 2nd round...even then, what's left will be a development guy, not a starter who will be ready half way through the season at the earliest.

 

Lets face it, this is our best chance at getting an elite level guy...You say, there is no sure fire QB like Luck...Guess what...another slam dunk like Luck may not come around for another 10-15 years.  We will be sitting around a long time waiting for another QB like Luck, and even if there is, there will be no guarantee we will be in position to get him.

 

Book it...Bortles, Bridgewater or Manziel in the 1st...(Manziel scares me, but I'd still take him if Bortles/Bridgewater are gone...still leaning Bortles at this time though.

Proved my point. Do not be upset, if you have none of those 3 (Except Manziel) in a jaguars uniform. I can bet money, that if we draft Bridgewater or Bortles, this forum will be exactly like in 2013 in a couple of years.

 

Bortles has Gabbert written all over him and Teddy will not last. I know that sounds like a contradiction with Manziel, but for some reason I think he would last with his style, or at least adapt because he has some of the best QB instincts I have seen in years. Almost Payton-like.

 

Murray is my best option, because he has a "gun", very good QB instincts, and will come cheaper earlier than those 3. My dream scenario would be:

 

FA - draft young and developing players that have a high ceiling, along with focusing on O-line (Minus Mack)

 

Draft (If No Johnny)

Rd 1 Clowney or Barr or Mack

Rd 2 Dre Mason or Seastrunk

Rd 3 Murray

Post Rd's - Get Storm Johnson
