Just my opinion, but I don't find this QB class very strong. I'm fine with grabbing a top guy if he falls to us but mortgaging a future on this class I would hope we could avoid. I would hope the Jags don't enter QB desperation mode like a lot of folks on the board have.

Then we agree. I've never argued mortgaging the future for a QB is the best play. Giving up 1 pick is about the most I would ever argue for, and only if they feel the prospect is only guy they can trust for the next few years.

Historically it never works for QB's. Prior to the past 3 years, I think only Flacco and Eli were QBs involved in trade up trade that won Super Bowls, even then the Ravens first traded back before trading up and the Giants gave up Rivers. Arguably Wentz could have won if healthy in 2017, but it's debatable. Goff and Mahomes both look promising but have not done it yet.

Historically, most teams drafting in the top 10 are there because they need a QB. So it’s hard to draft up for them when a lot of teams in the top 5 need them. 

Lets also not forget how difficult it has been for just about any QB to win the AFC. Brady, Flacco, Manning and Ben are the only QBs to play for the AFC in the SB in the past like 20 years.
