Quote:But Russel or Ben or Joe is?

 

What exactly is a "elite" name?

 

Gunner Blutarsky.  A little bit of flash.  A little bit of grit. 

 

Quote:Espn hyping him up fast!


Kind of like Gabbert back in the day...


(Not saying he is Gabbert)

 

ESPN needs to create some sort of buzz here.  Geno Smith was hyped up similarly, but apparently front offices didn't get the memo.  Watching him sit there waiting for some team to call his name became almost painful, especially when he was still waiting on day 2.  I have a feeling when the dust settles on this draft, most of these "top tier" guys will slip to the middle or bottom half of the first round, if not even further. 

 

In my opinion, there really isn't an elite QB in this draft.  There are a few guys with potential to become very good, but they're all going to require time to develop.  You don't draft a QB in the top 5 of the draft with the intention of developing him. 

 

Quote:I certainly hope Bortles did well, because if he did, I helps us a lot.   If he can push himself into the top 2 picks, another great player will be pushed down to us. 

 

If anyone drafts Bortles at 1 or 2, they're certainly doing us a favor with the over-reach. 

 

Quote:Former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski of ESPN graded Bortles' pro day on a scale of 1-10.


"I give him a 10," Jaworski said. "I think he smelled a little blood in the water considering (Louisville quarterback Teddy) Bridgewater had a subpar day.


"He was well prepared and did everything right."

 

I think Jaworski is starting to feel irrelevant.  There's no way that performance was a 10.  Maybe a 6 or 7.
