Quote:Hey Texan fan....you were rumored to almost have selected Bortles at one, so uh just stop with your denials here. 

 

And what's your point?  They were interested in Bortles during the draft process.. that was well known news over a month before the draft (again not Bridgewater), but they had the #1 ovrl pick in the draft.  If they wanted Bortles here over Clowney, geuss what?  He would be here.

 

There was no bonified #1 franchise QB in this draft..regardless if it was a deep class, there wasn't much separation, they all have question marks. So they went with the guy who was viewed as the best player in the draft.

 

Blake Bortles is projected to sit just like Tom Savage is (actually some people are now thinking he might see the field).. You don't draft a guy #1 ovrl over Clowney if you don't view him as a guy that you can throw on the field day one.. not in today's league and the fact that the #1 ovrl guy taken in this QB class ins't projected to be a starter right now tells you all you need to know about this class..  again deep class, but lacking a lot of separation between rounds and a #1 ovrl ringer..  it was indeed a crap shoot like no other recent year.
