Mayfield was my most likely to succeed QB last year, FWIW.

Haskins has a "top 20" grade (supposedly,) and some are saying now he may be the only first round QB in this draft.

Buyer beware... and beware the entire class.  Seems like that's always the story years we need to draft a quality QB.

Sign a vet, draft, and keep drafting.

Why even sign a vet? Blake would cost the same as a backup (compared to what we'd be paying him anyway) whereas any vet capable of starting would put our cap in dire straits to acquire. Moreover, I feel like Blake is nearly as good as the top FA qbs like Bridgewater and Fitzpatrick. I can see maybe trading for Mullins or Foles, but then we're talking even more money, a multi-year contract, and draft picks. Just keep Blake for one more season and do what it takes to draft Haskins... or Lock if we simply can't get Haskins. Either way, I can see Haskins or Lock taking over by November.

Sure he was. This is from the jaguars.com profile for Caldwell...

Several of the players responsible for the Falcons’ success were drafted during Caldwell’s time including wide receiver Harry Douglas (3rd round, 2008), DE Kroy Biermann (5th round, 2008), linebacker Sean Weatherspoon (1st round, 2010), wide receiver Julio Jones (1st round, 2011) and running back Jacquizz Rogers (5th round, 2011).
