Quote:Tell me what differentiates Bortles from Gabbert? Both are very similar, Bortles has more mobility, yet, both have weak arms. Both are 6' 4". Both QBs we drafted in the top 10... Neither played at a high level in college, Both came out their second solid year. Both were graded as weak arms with good upside. Gabbert was at first the "obvious #1", before Cam took that spot. Bortles comes onto the scene in January as an up and comer, and moves into the top spot (kind of, really depends on what you're reading and who you believe).


I pray to god we got this pick right. But we've NEVER hit on a QB in the first round. And regardless of if Bortles is serviceable or not we did not optimize the value of our #3 pick. I didn't like any of the QBs in this draft, really thought we had a great chance to have a huge draft, find a QB at the end of the 1st and still get a great impact player at 3. And the whole thing blew up with Bortles going 3. Watkins is a sure thing, Bortles isn't. Where we sit as a franchise we can't take chances.
