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.

 

At this point after a huge upgrade on defense and no good OL at 4, I wouldn't mind if coughlin picked Watson. Based on Fournette's potential I would like to draft him but RBs are usually the first ones out of the league. We could add to the DL but we seem to be set there. Watson and come push Bortles. If Bortles doesn't perform Watson will be the QB. It's kinda like insurance. The worst thing that could happen is Blake fails and we end up like the Texans with a good D but no QB or worse. If you go all in on Bortles, Fourntte has to be the pick. But I wouldn't be surprised if Coughlin gets his QB at 4, they want to win now. Bortles could always be traded.
