Quote:TMD, you can't be mad at this pic.

 

Your mock draft had the Jags taking Teddy #3 overall.  You also would have been OK with Manziel #3 overall.

 

Every single NFL team has decided that your evaluation is far off in this case.

 

in the end, your mock is correct in terms of the positon that we picked.  We picked QB, you got that right.

Now, you have to ask yourself this question:  Was I right (and every NFL team wrong) about evaluating this QB class?  

 

Or did Caldwell, the scouts, the coaches all make a huge mistake and picked the wrong guy?  We got what we believe is the best QB not just this year, but the following year as well.

 

Caldwell has made it clear that he drafts in the 1st round also based on who is available next year.  That's why we didn't draft a QB last year.  He waited for Bortles.  He said looking ahead, Bortles is the best prospect, ahead of guys like Mariota and Jameis.  He got his guy.

 

Not it's time to develop him.  

 

I'm not "mad" at the pick. I'm not. 

 

Still in shock? Perhaps....a little jealous of what Cleveland was able to do, and think that would have been great for us? (and believe if that trade was there for Cleveland it probably was for us too) Yep. Still concerned that  Bortles isn't all that great of a QB prospect? Yep. Did I think that Bortles would have fell in the draft at least somewhat? Yep. I don't see Cleveland taking him at 4. Cleveland was trading down regardless, IMO. Cleveland wanted the player they took after the trade down first. 

 

I'll give Bortles a chance. But I am allowed to have an opinion where as of right now, I'm not sold on the guy. Sure, that can change when I start to see him developing for us. We all want this guy to pan out. Its pretty much the only hope we got. Right?
