I do agree though that Teddy is a more polished QB/Passer than Bortles right now...but I think Bortles could end up being the much better pro.

 

It's a "crystal ball" business.

 

If Ted were certainly going to be a better pro, and it was obvious to all, he would have been unquestionably the first QB off the board.

 

Instead, Ted was the best QB on the second tier of candidates.

 

There wasn't a run on QBs in the first.  There was one QB seen as the best franchise candidate.  There was one wildcard QB drafted after him.

 

Then, there was everyone else.

 

There are no guarantees, but that gives a clear indication of what the GMs felt was the risk/reward (i.e. "value") at the top of this QB class.
