Jeff Driskel in the late rounds?
|
It might be nice to have a guy learn from both Bortles and Henne (film room only, plz) for a year before stepping in as Bortle's primary backup, but we dont have that luxury this year I dont think. We need players at starting positions still. Not time to focus on the future backup qb.

Quote:this year? Why? All the needs to shore up, QB isn't one. This team should be at a point where they aren't relying on 5th and 6th round picks to build their roster. A good backup QB is valuable. It's not like it's a crazy idea or anything. There are numerous examples of this working well for teams.
Quote:No, they should not draft a QB. Teams usually only carry 2 QBs, one being a young QB and one being a veteran. We already have both of those. A rookie QB would be absolutely useless to us. Bortles is past being a "young QB". He doesn't need Chad Henne to hold his hands. Chad Henne is just a backup, that's all. Settling with Henne is fine, but using a late round pick on a QB with potential to be better isn't even remotely useless.

But it all depends on their evaluations. If they are picking in the 6th round, and there's a QB they have say a 2nd round grade at the top of their board, that may be reason enough to pull the trigger and worry about the roster situation later. This is the type of situation I'm assuming.

There's almost no chance the Jaguars are keeping 3 QBs on the roster and they aren't dropping Henne for a late round talent. Oh, and Driskell ain't that guy... He terrible.
Quote:That's the only way it would happen, if at all... There's almost no chance the Jaguars are keeping 3 QBs on the roster and they aren't dropping Henne for a late round talent. I think it's more likely to happen with QBs for this exact reason. Only a select number of teams are going to invest a high pick for a QB. If there are 6 QBs that are graded in the top 2 rounds, but only four teams willing to draft them. The other guys will slide.
Quote:Wasn't he on the radio saying he'll be drafted in the 2nd round? I knew that didn't sound right.

Lots of faulty precognition work in this thread.

Quote:No.How much of that was on him, and how much was the result of his head coach not his skill set? Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
He's on the same team with Gabbert now. Glad I'm not a 49ers fan.
