Quote:In my opinion he was reached at #3. Franchise QBs prospects -- Stafford, Newton, RG3 and Luck -- are normally those who were raved about by the national media. The problem with this class was that the opinions were all varied; there was no consensus top QB.


Before their pro day, it was TB. After the pro day, Manziel was the #1 guy according to the many pundits at NFL.com. The people at Sports illustrated still rank TB #1, Manziel #2, and Bortles #3. The ESPN guys (Kiper and McShay) had Manziel their #1 guy. Pretty much it was all a toss up. What they all agreed on was that no QB was ranked in their top 10 or 15 overall ranking.


While we all assumed that Bortles would be drafted in the top 10 if we did not take him, we just don't know for sure if that was the case. And when Manziel and TB fell to the late first round, then I was concerned that we might have overreached Bortles.


Regardless what will happen from until the end of next season, Bortles intern/redshirt his rookie year, depending on how Henne perform. We will know the answer two years from now if he's truly the guy for us.
