Pretty much. Something like this was destined to happen. I know it was in the back of my mind the whole time.
I don't hate it... honestly. I'm not a huge Tony Romo fan or anything and I wasn't dying for him to be on this team. I'm excited now... maybe, finally, we've been pushed into a corner where we have to draft and develop a "high draft pick" quarterback. None of the consensus top prospects will start day 1 and be awesome, we know they'll all need significant development. But it's about damn time we drafted and developed a high profile QB.
It's an exciting notion, but I can't help but feel the fear of drafting the next Gabbert, Bortles, EJ Manuel, Weeden, Lynch, etc. Being forced to take a QB early only makes that result more likely.
You and me both... and I'm sure we're not alone. Even the biggest Smith/BOB supporters can't really trust this staff to make the right choice at this point... at least not at the QB position! I believe that since we know we need to develop a QB, we have to draft the player with the most raw talent available... which to me points to Pat Mahomes. But what do I know? I thought Brock would be just fine in this offense.
When we'll get our first look of Tommy Savage & Brandon Weeden. Report: April 17; OTA Offseason Workouts: May 22-23, May 25, May 30-31, June 1, June 5-6, June 8-9; Mandatory Minicamp: June 13-15
So now we are back to our backup quarterbacks, without Boye, Simon, Demps, and Aboushi. What are we going to spend the money on? I hope we start signing some of our free agents soon. We will have 15 more free agents at the end of next season too, and I am tired of so many seeing great players leave this team. I just hope we make a move if we need to in the draft to ensure we get one of the top 3 QB's available. I'm hoping for Mahomes, and will be sick to my stomach if they don't even draft a QB in the first round.
Funny... The Ringer recently posted its latest mock draft and they had the Jags selecting Watson fourth, which seemed disconnected from virtually any other mock draft - or even draft chatter - that I wondered if there was some deep inside knowledge... What a turn that would be...

He's also a good speaker as well. To the point, some perceive it as inauthentic. http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2017/03/14/nfl-draft-davis-webb-first-round-quarterbacks-obi-melifonwu Tall Speaks/interviews well Great leadership mindset Emotional I've never been so pessimistic about a prospect with those characteristics.
