<p class="" style="font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;color:rgb(41,41,41);font-size:16px;"><b>Best pick: </b>Cann - To get a high-end starting guard in the third round was one of the bigger steals of the entire draft.

<p class="" style="font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;color:rgb(41,41,41);font-size:16px;"><b>Questionable pick: </b>Other than maybe a second running back, there wasn't one.

<p class="" style="font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;color:rgb(41,41,41);font-size:16px;">The Jaguars added a lot of starting talent in the draft. No team in the league had a better draft than Jacksonville. Their draft is loaded with starting players and they got incredible value late. Fowler is the Leo Jacksonville needs, Yeldon can be the lead running back and Cann will open holes for him. That's just the first three picks. Sample is at worst a high-end backup safety, Greene is a dependable pass catcher and Bennett was a steal in the sixth round. If the Jaguars become a perennial playoff team, GM Dave Caldwell's first two drafts will be the reason why.

<p class="" style="font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;color:rgb(41,41,41);font-size:16px;"><b>Overall grade:</b> A+

Jacksonville Jaguars: A
The Jaguars are coming. Maybe not in 2015, maybe not in 2016, but soon. This draft without question kept this franchise's positive momentum, from a talent standpoint, rolling in the right direction. Jacksonville made one solid decision after another, right through Notre Dame tight end Ben Koyack in round 7.

Remember when Dave and Gus arrived and said they where building for sustained success, not a quick fix?

These last 2 drafts are exactly the reason I believe in this. We've had some bad years but they are building something special.

<p style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;">1. Fowler ...best edge rusher, 3 down impact player, starting Leo.  A.

<p style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;">2. Yeldon ...solid big runner with good vision, starting RB.  B+.

<p style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;">3. Cann ...arguably best guard in draft, 2nd round value, starting OG.  A+.

<p style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;">4. Sample ...sleeper pick, challenge starting FS role, 1 year player risk, good ST.  B.

<p style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;">5. Greene ...challenge for slot and PR roles, 3rd round value.  A+.

<p style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;">6. Bennett ...3T DT will be in rotation, 2-3rd round value.  A+.

<p style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;">7. Sterling ...developmental big WR/move TE, small school.  C+.

<p style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;">7. Koyack ...versatile TE to take over Lewis role one day, good value for round.  A-.

<p style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"> 

<p style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;">Overall, I give it an A-.   

When the media is giving it almost all A's, it is hard to say otherwise.

Awesome draft! The level of competition in the organization is heating up!

Where did all of our friends who were whining after the first couple rounds go? They were all over the place 48 hours ago...they seemed to have gone somewhere...???

Jaguars had a great draft! I thank Bortles season will do great!

I have learned that proper English is highly overrated in here.

While I'm not big on grading right away this draft had to be an A. Caldwell nailed it. Now it's up to the coaching staff.

They've been hanging out at the stadium, ready to throw down on any lemming that questions their honest take on this apocalypse of a draft.


I'm heading to Jacksonville in July, maybe I'll run into them when I get there...

3. Florida DE/LB Dante Fowler

36. Alabama RB T.J. Yeldon

67. South Carolina OG A.J. Cann

104. Louisville FS James Sample

139. Florida State WR Rashad Greene

180. Ohio State DT Michael Bennett

220. Monmouth WR/TE Neal Sterling

229. Notre Dame TE Ben Koyack


Overview: Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell crushed this draft, securing as many as four impact Opening Day starters (Fowler, Yeldon, Cann, Sample) before tabbing sure-handed slot receiver Greene in round five. Bennett may have been the best value pick of the entire draft. I saw him as a second-round possibility entering Friday. Even late rounders Sterling -- a potential mismatch creator -- and Koyack -- a player I believe could be a quality No. 2 tight end -- upgraded the back end of Jacksonville's roster. The Jaguars filled major needs at Leo outside rusher, feature back, and safety, while continuing to inject both lines with talent. This was my favorite 2015 class. On a weekly basis, this year's Jags are going to be a tough out with a nasty defense, playmakers in the passing game, and a formidable rushing attack.


Grade: A+

I noticed that too.. Sad part is, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out which game that was from.. Then I was sitting on my couch watchin a movie about an hour ago and then i remembered.. I'm getting old

OP, can you make the votes public on your poll so we can all point and laugh at the one knucklehead who gave the Jags an F?
