How do you feel about the Jaguars decision? 

 

Love if

Would have preferred Williams, but we desperately need a pass rusher. 

YES!! SO EXCITED!!! He's not going to be like Derrick Harvey!! 

We got a guy who loves football, plays hard every play, can rush the passer and stop the run and drop in coverage

Love it 

Smh!!! Dumb!!

Not a fan of this pick,,, don't think he fits our team well because he is not a good edge rusher... But he is now a jaguar, I have no choice but to get behind him and hope for the best.

Yep, drafting a great pass rusher is always dumb.

I'm happy with the pick, but not overly excited. We've been let down so many times by 'the next great thing' on defense... so while I'm okay with this pick, I'm going to wait until I see what he does on the field as a pro before I get too excited about it.

He's not a good edge rusher based on what?

Can't rush from the edge.  You're kidding, right?

No, passing on better players is dumb.

I'm ok with the pick. I think Fowler can be good but I think Leonard Williams could be dominant and Pro Bowl caliber. I feel like they went the homer route to appease the fans because they're on the hot seat.

He knew it. He was confident he was going to be a Jag.

Just curious...does anyone think that all of the mock drafts having teams take a specific player, actually put peer pressure on a coaching staff to take that same player? Kind of like they take that player to avoid the criticism. I feel like that is what we just did.

Based on watching his tape,, he hardly wins with speed or beats anyone to the top of the hoop, and most of his sacks come on twists and blitzes, and a lot of them were standing up or completely unblocked...

Combine that with his agility, explosive numbers at the combine were well below others at the position and that gives me reason for concern as an edge rusher.

You should have a "I'm happy to wait and see" option.

Is this Derrick Harvey 2.0?
