Quote:Drafting a QB at #4 overall this year would be one of the stupidest moves in this franchise's history. It's one thing to bring in competition via free agency to push Bortles, but drafting a QB would sink Bortles before he even has a chance to right the ship. Remember what the Chargers did to Drew Brees? Yeah, that's how stupid we could look.

 

Then there's the most obvious reason: There is no QB worth taking at the #4 spot this year. None of these QBs are better than Bortles as they are now. Kizer has the most potential and MIGHT eventually be better than Bortles, but he needs a LOT of work done to him first - which would kill any chance of a Jags playoff run for the next 3 years.

 

The general public, armchair scouts and analysts who get paid to have an opinion may feel that way about the QB class this year but that doesn't mean this front office does. Nobody thought Bortles would go to us at number three the year we drafted him. And nobody on this board, at least to my knowledge, has any access to the interviews and meetings our team has with these QB prospects. 

 

Again, I am leaning towards the possibility of a trade down. But I wouldn't be shocked at all to see a QB's name pop up on draft night. Stranger things have happened. We may not like Trubisky, Kizer, Mahomes or Watson. But one of these teams just might. And they may have a 1ST RD grade on them. That's including us. Of course it's all speculation. Again, we could end up trading down or going with Solomon Thomas or Johnathan Allen if he's there.
