Quote:Henne is just Caldwell's way of making sure not to completely ignore the short term.

 

Gene Smith had a tendency and it created some teams that were downright frustrating to watch.

 

Be happy he isn't trying to hang his hat on a bunch of street free agents and undrafted players..

 

I emphasized the sentence I disagree with.  Signing Henne is not what you think it is.  If the Front Office thinks that Henne can get us through the season it's a bad bet.

 

What I hope is happening in the Front Office is that they see a window of getting strong/dominant on D.  They are signing guys that have strong potential to push competition for the young players on D.

 

With that said, I don't see how we can take a QB in the first round.  None of those QBs are real franchise players.  They all have a Geno Smith taint in my eyes.

 

So let's continue to build on D with the the 3 selection.  Get a QB that can out shine Henne in the 3rd round.  Use the first 2 rounds to solidify the D.

 

It seems like that's what the Organization is looking to do.

 

Bridgewater doesn't do it for me.  Manziel isn't a franchise QB for the long run.  Bortles is a reach at the 3rd pick.  

 

We need an impact player at 3.  A QB at the third pick is an albatross.
