Jacksonville Jaguars. Blake Bortles. 23. player. 52. . Quarterback
Blake Bortles had the unfortunate problem of being drafted by the Jaguars in the 2014 NFL Draft (third overall). The good news is that the Jaguars have provided him with a huge new target in tight end Julius Thomas. This should help Bortles improve on his 11 touchdown to 17 interception ratio he had during his rookie season.
51. . Quarterback. St. Louis Rams. Nick Foles. 22. player
Nick Foles was traded to St. Louis during the free agency period and is definitely an improvement over Austin Davis. I’m still not convinced that he’s as great as a quarterback as others seem to believe though. I think Ron Jaworski’s ranking of him is perfect. Not great, not awful, just meh.
Quarterback. Chicago Bears. Jay Cutler. 21. player. 57.
It’s now or never for Jay Cutler.
Quarterback. Philadelphia Eagles. Sam Bradford. 20. player. 54.
The Eagles got Sam Bradford in exchange for Nick Foles during the free agency period. Honestly if (and that’s a huge if) Bradford can stay healthy, the Eagles got the better deal in this trade. Bradford has shown strong potential since being the first overall pick in 2010, but injuries have decimated his career to this point.
The former Sooner has only started seven games in the past two years, and all seven of those came in 2013.
