But I remember seeing an archived topic for the draft that year.  Many, if not most, posters didn't even want a QB. No mention of Lamar Jackson. The mindset of the time was that Bortles had turned the corner and was the franchise QB.

Hindsight is a b**ch.

You could argue that the front office can be blamed for passing on Mahomes and Watson. But so did almost every other team that needed a QB.

I'm not sure what topic you were reading; but there was a fair amount of us that wanted Lamar Jackson, myself included.  I wanted Mahomes in the 2nd when he came out but didnt know the Chiefs would trade up and pick him in the 1st.  Now Watson was the pick most wanted that year but i figured we'd pass on him and go QB later.  I was QB hungry then and i'm still QB hungry now.  I did however, support the FO when they picked blake and wanted to build the line and TE position to help support him.  Cook over Fournette, i recall.  Posters here have been right about alot of picks but we don't run the team and are outweighed by the pro FO supporters until they start turning the corner when the chips stack up.
