Day 1 on the next era of Jags football is officially here. Here's my early speculation on who makes the final 53 this fall:

Offense:
QB – Lawrence, Jones
RB – ETN, Bigsby, D’Earnest, Keilan Robinson
WR – BTJ, Kirk, Davis, Washington, Duvernay, Cephus
TE – Engram, Strange, Farrell
Tackles – Robinson, Harrison, Little, Foster
Guards – Cleveland, Scherff, Hodges, Hance
Center – Morse, Fortner
 
Defense:
Tackles – Armstead, RRH, Hamilton, Maason, Jordan
Ends – Travon, Allen, Lacy, Myles
Backers – Foye, Lloyd, Muma, Miller, Abdullah, Gipson
Corners – Tyson, Darby, Brown, Savage, Jarrian, Prince
Safeties – Cisco, Antonio, Dewey, Thomas
 
Teams
K – Patterson
P – Cook
LS - Ross

Trent kept the streak alive with the Robinson pick. Robinson came from Alabama and then to Texas. Bigsby better get his head right.

McManus is probably gone with the Little pick. The kicker out of Arkansas. Little was 7/11 from 50 yards or more in his 3 year college career at Arkansas. All SEC kickoff specialist award winner with 53 Touchbacks out of 62 kickoffs. Strong leg.

The former Red Raider, DE Myles Cole fills a need, out of Texas Tech. He becomes the first Texas Tech player ever drafted by the Jaguars.

*Good spot to say Welcome Back Cooper Hodges who will return from injury and will be competing for one of those Guard spots.

Let's Break it all down:

1st round: He traded down from 17 to 23.  Picked up an extra 5th round this year and an extra 3rd and 4th round pick next year.  Still ended up getting the man he wanted. Brian Thomas had the size and speed every coach wants at receiver. 17 tds last year is eye popping.  This could be better than Ridley.  My favorite Baalke draft move= A+
2nd round: Maason Smith: I originally gave the move a C but after more review have upgraded it to a B. The potential, size, and tools are there. If he lives up to the talent it could be a homerun.
3rd round: Jarrian Jones:  Some had him as the #2 cb in the draft. Great man to man skills. Also speedy and athletic.
4th round: Javon Foster: 6'5 313 Olinemen.  I am guessing backup guard. Hopefully he can push for a starting role. 
4th round: Jordan Jefferson: Another LSU big man. You can never have enough of these. Another big boy at 6'3 313
5th round Deantre Prince:  The guy has played QB, Receiver, DB, Running back, etc.  A versatile player they may find a role for.
5th round: Kelan Robinson: A RB with experience returning kicks.  Probably a special teams role right away.
6th round: Cam Little: A kicker who will compete for a job.  May or may not make the roster. Strong accurate leg.
7th round: Myles Cole: A DL with some good combine numbers. Will compete for a spot

Overall, I liked this draft. Outside of fleecing the Vikings there were no real trades for the Jags.  They sat put and made this roster better. The major critic I have is that I think we should of acquired more big men on the offensive line.  Overall I give the Draft a B

Anyone know the best place to find these out?

I honestly didn't/don't analyse college players like some here on our board to which is the reasoning for starting this thread. I'd like collective input in one thread location. 

R1 Brian Thomas / WR, LSU : BTJ is going to be stellar for our offense to say the least by stretching the field and potentially being that go to receiver in due time.

R2 Masson Smith / DT, LSU : Masson is exactly what we needed at the position, an Big Body to clog the middle of our D.

R3 Jarrian Jones / CB FSU : Jarrian could possibly crack the line up but if not he'll definately be solid depth.

R4 Javon Foster / OL, Missouri : Honestly I have nothing here so I'll just say depth or the PS is his friend.

R4 Jordan Jefferson / DT, LSU : Stroud and Henderson, say less.

R5 De'Antre Prince / CB, Ole Miss : Depth and or Practice squad.

R5 Keilan Robinson / RB, Texas : He may see the field as our PR.

R6 Cam Little / K, Arkansas : We drafted a kicker, let's see if he can win the job but his longest is about 58 yards.

R6 Myles Cole / DE, Texas Tech. : He had an descent college career and could be an sleeper depending on how he's used.

So Jaguar Fans please insert your opinions that'll overshadow mine.

Thanks in advanced. 

Overall grade - B+

Chicago Bears told to 'pay for their own damn stadium' after proposal has taxpayers footing $2 billion

Gov. Pritzker, D-Ill., previously said he's 'not sure' that paying billions for the stadium is one of 'the highest priorities for taxpayers'

Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D-Ill. and financial experts are expressing skepticism at the possibility of taxpayer money being used to pay for the Chicago Bears’ proposed new stadium.
There has been hesitation towards the NFL franchise’s plans to spend $4.6 billion on building a new enclosed stadium along with an improved lakefront area, half of which would be paid by the state’s taxpayers.
"The stadium itself would cost $3.2 billion to build, with another $1.4 billion in proposed infrastructure improvements," the Chicago Tribune reported.

Fast athletic corner with quick feet. He will be in the mix at nickle. Position of need. Ran a 4.38

My take : B grade
