Quote:There is no chance Dave C will pick another QB in the first round. He has to believe that Bortles can improve (and in an ideal world he would still want BB learning his game from the bench) and a second season for a big pick like that has to be the minimum. Besides, replacing a high-value pick like Bortles after just one season would be a major admission of failure and effectively career suicide.


Having said that, picking a QB late in the draft to develop from the bench might make sense, if they've given up on Henne.


I agree with everyone else about the need for a star though. This team is very very short on them at the moment. And you would probably have to say our WR pool is solid but unspectacular at the moment. Yes, Hurns and ARob have had some good games, but we haven't got a superstar. Maybe one of them will develop into one, but eleven games gone, one hasn't emerged yet...

 

Then Dave better be damn sure that guy isn't going to be a high end QB.  Because you don't pass on those at the top of the draft.  You don't pass on them regardless unless you get a heck of a trade down.  Passing on Big Ben because you have Byron Leftwich is career suicide. 

 

I agree, the team needs a star.  If Dave passes on a QB he has a HIGH grade on then he better draft a bigger star than he has so far.
