I can see the sense in picking up someone new in the offseason, because Henne isn't the long term backup for us. But I'd be very surprised if we use that valuable first round pick on a QB after the high profile acquisition of Bortles.


There are so many teams desperate for a change of direction at QB and so few players with real quality this year, I'd be amazed if Mariota doesn't go early, but just can't see us picking him. It would be an embarrassing admission from the front office that their selection of Bortles wasn't going as planned and they would never want to do that.


And besides, he was always billed as a player to be developed for 2015, so why abandon that plan halfway through ? (They would argue)


Maybe someone like Prescott or Petty in the later rounds ? (If they fall far enough)
