Quote:My thing with the quarterbacks is this:

 

Most people are writing them off as flawed prospects and their value is dropping because teams are realizing this.  My view is that they are just as good as most of the other top 10 quarterback prospects in the last 20 years, but this draft is particularly deeper and there are more top level prospects which will push these quarterbacks back some.  Add the fact that the middle of the round has security at their current QB position.  You have 2 elite level rushers, 2 elite level receivers, 2-3 elite level tackles, and then you have 4 very intriguing prospects that teams could easily fall in love with in Barr, Ebron, Gilbert, and Dennard.  Then add in 4 quarterbacks with 1st round value.  That's an equation for at least 1 or 2 of the QBs to fall just by virtue of the board.

 

Agreed, but you have to take into consideration the fact that this team has probably circled at most, 3 QBs who they feel would be a decent fit for the Jaguars, especially with the early picks.  I think most of the QBs  have flaws, although none of the top tier guys have fatal deficiencies that would prevent them from being effective at the next level as long as we find a way to work around those issues.  If you look at the top QBs in this draft (Manziel, Bortles, Bridgewater), this team could do wonders with any of the 3.

 

I don't think they're as enamored by Garoppolo as indicated early on.  He's really a project.  But, of that 2nd tier of guys, I could see this team looking at a guy like Murray or Mettenberger as options.  Both players have the potential to be good at the next level.  So, now you have 5 guys, all of which you're going to have a legitimate shot at getting in the draft. Which one is your guy, and which ones do you think lasts to 39?  Because you're either drafting a QB in the first or second round, and that's going to be your guy, at least for now.
