Quote: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.

I am not getting what you are saying. If you get a QB in the third rd, he's not likely to start immediately, hence Henne. Short term answer. He fits right in with what your are wanting to happen. There really isn't a better option for a season out there. Those guys available aren't very good. Add that to the fact it would take them half a season to get on the same page with thee rest of the team, then all you really accomplish is taking a step backwards at the position. There is no point in doing that when your goal is to go in a completely different direction in the next year or two anyway.
