Quote: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.

 

 

To be truthful, with all the Mack and Watkins talk the past week, I kinda had myself expecting a pick of either, or a trade down with Detroit with them taking Watkins. 

 

A trade down was my biggest hope. SInce I figured we'd still get a good player at 10 ish and then get more picks. 

 

I like Bortles size, but I gotta be honest....he just doesn't wow me on the footage. He looks just ordinary. 

 

I'll give it a chance though. I will.
