I'm not sure I see how this is a good thing. Trades at the top of the draft operate similarly to basic economics; Supply vs. Demand. There is some demand for the QB's but if the supply gets over saturated, it'll kill the market. If there are too many QB's that could go at the top, we won't be trading down. Teams will just tell the Rams it's okay if they can't get player X, they'll just get player Y or Z instead and not have to give up as much in draft picks, if any.
It all depends on where all the QB's get rated, though. If Bortles isn't expected to go at the top come draft day, it won't have much effect, if any.
It's been debated hard here already, but I'm of the opinion teams don't settle for Y or Z at the QB position. It's such an important and team specific position... If you want X, you go for X.
Some team will fall in love with Bridgewater. Some team will fall in love with Manziel. Some team will fall in love with Bortles. So... If your in love... do you play poker and hope he falls to you?
I suspect you go get him. See Tavon Austin and the Rams.
