Quote:I really really DON't want to trash it. 

 

Honestly. 

 

And I won't. 

 

Am I disappointed? 

 

Yes. 

 

I thought we could have traded down and maybe still gotten Bortles. I would have liked that deal that Cleveland got from Buffalo with the 1st rounder in 2015. 

 

But I am willing to give it a chance. 

 

 

Dave Caldwell, has just put himself out there though. Like Gene Smith with Gabbert....Dave's Jags legacy will be judged on this pick. 

 

That's fair to Bortles, though it could be argued that had Jacksonville traded down, Cleveland might have taken Bortles.

 

This is about where I am.

 

Willing to give it a chance.

 

My immediate hope is two fold:

 

1)  The Jaguars get him some help these next two days.

 

2)  The Jaguars keep Bortles on the bench at least until the OL has had a chance to get its bearings.  Ideally, we won't see Bortles until after the bye week...unless we just hit on EVERY pick we make this year.
