Day one Draft Grades

#12

3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida
The grade: B
The risk: Blake Bortles still has some developing to do. He needs to step into his throws more often and get back to driving the ball down the field. He may not be ready to start right away.

The reward: The Jaguars pulled the trigger on a quarterback, the biggest need on their roster. General manager Dave Caldwell identified his guy and didn't hesitate to take him off the board. Bortles has the most upside of any quarterback in this class, and the Jaguars can sit him at first while Chad Henne starts the season.

4. Buffalo Bills: Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
The grade: C+
The risk: The reason this choice is graded this low is the cost. Giving up a first-round pick next year is a big gamble for the Bills to move up five spots in the draft. If the Bills have a bad record next season, this is a crushing amount to give up.

The reward: At the least, Watkins helps improve one of the NFL's worst passing offenses. Watkins should become the No. 1 receiver the Bills don't have. There's little Watkins can't do at wide receiver. At best, Watkins can help push the Buffalo offense over the top and make the choice of E.J. Manuel in the first round last year worth it.

Hindsight 20/20. Watkins would've been a better pick, but he shouldn't have been drafted in the top 10 because he's never functioned as an elite #1 receiver. He's now realizing some of his potential by playing as a complementary playmaker to Kelce and Tyreek. That's not #4 pick worthy.
