B -

 

I see Bortles as a potential Pro Bowl QB after a few years. I like the fact that Gus and David said he will not start day 1 and recognize that the best QBs need to be groomed. From other sources, they obviously had a graded draft list and took their top player. Gus and Dave have tied their future to Bortles, and I sincerely hope it pays off. They will either be here in 3 years or be gone.

 

But... I am old school (and just old) and have the expectations that a #3 pick should be able to immediately impact the team. For that reason I would have taken a player who could start day 1, then drafted a QB to groom in round 2 or 3 (I think they are there). I am wondering if the game has changed that much over 40 years and I don't see it.
