Quote:So why didnt they draft Bortles with the 1st overall?

Probably because they didn't feel as confident in him as Caldwell did.

edit: plus they probably are thinking in the "win now" mindframe that a lot of guys with a lot of years of failure start thinking.

When the thought process is "even if a guy is good, it'll take years for it to pan out, I'll be fired by then" you get guys taking the player who they think can have the more immediate impact.

It's a losing way of thinking, and any GM thinking like that should already be fired. It's why Caldwell should always be thinking about future value in every move he makes, not how much impact someone has in the current season.

Like Vic used to say, take care of the future, and the future will take care of the present.
