That's why we gotta take Teddy, Carr, or Bortles if we get the chance. The NFL is always about the QB. 

 

I used to have this mindset, but have since changed my stance.  I'm not for taking a QB in the first round just for the sake of taking a QB in the first round.  I'm constantly watching videos of each prospect (at least the ones made available) and I can honestly say the only QB I want in the first round is Teddy Bridgewater.  Guys like Carr, Bortles, and McCarron are capable of being good, but I wouldn't touch them before round two.  If Teddy is gone by our pick, I think we should go with a potential defensive juggernaut like Anthony Barr or Khalil Mack.

 

I'd rather take Barr/Mack in one, then get a stop-gap QB like McCarron or Bortles in round two (if available) and ride with them until we do land a franchise QB, I have little doubt that McCarron, Bortles, Mettenberger, and maybe even Boyd will be better Pro's than Chad Henne, therefore, we'd be getting better either way.
