Well, we certainly won't get all of them, but we certainly should get some.

Quote:If we went that far, I would almost consider Kevin White.

 

Quote:I think that a trade down to draft an ORT would probably be prudent.

 

Agreed with Stigma, here.

 

Had we not had success with the 3 rookie WRs we drafted last year, I'd consider White.

 

But I am inclined to fix another area of need.  If we don't get Bulaga or another RT, trading down and still landing a guy like Scherff or Flowers would be ideal.

Ok...who covets EVERY top FA?

With the success of Brandon Linder and the struggles of Luke Joeckel, I have a hard time seeing David taking an offensive linemen in the 1st round, the value simply isn't there. I see the Jaguars making a strong run at Bulaga or Orlando Franklin in FA.

Also, coveting every top FA, and thinking we will land every top FA are totally different things.

Dude, you said you can't see why we aren't going to get some combination of at least 3 #1 players at their position. That is so far beyond realistic. 

 

Dave is not going to go out and make 3 people the highest paid player at their position in the league, which is what is going to happen to all of those people on your list.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Jags came away with Suh, McCourty, and Julius Thomas, I don't see how that's beyond realistic as you put it.

C'mon man...there are 17 other teams with over 20 mil in cap space, and several of those with over 40 mil. The Colts, Raiders, Jets, Browns, Bears, and others have all gone on record saying they will be big spenders in FA (which Dave hasn't even said). So silly to think most of the rest of the league, which also has tons of cap space, is just going to flop over on their back and let the Jags get anyone they want. 

Quote:It's an exciting time to be a Jaguar fan, this team (realistically) has a shot to win the division next year if all the pieces (draft in FA) fall into place.

this is what Caldwell and Bradley saw coming.

it's all starting to make sense now.

will are in a GREAT position to add the key missing pieces and we could seriously compete for the division title next year.

if ALL the pieces fall into place best case senerio?

We could be in the playoffs

Suh plays a position we already have and he wants around 100m.

Quote:If we went that far, I would almost consider Kevin White.

wow.

just WOW.

IF THIS ALL HAPPENS AND BLACKMON CO.ES BACK TOO???

What some of you aren't understanding is not only do the Jaguars have an unprecedented amount of cap space, there's no one on the current roster that is due a significant contract extension anytime soon, the Jaguars could easily front load the contracts so when guys like Blake Bortles/Allen Robinson/Telvin Smith etc.. are due extensions, the contracts from the 2015 FA class should be coming off the books, this one of the reasons why John Idzik was hired as a consultant, this team is about to spend a lot money but will do it in a way that doesn't hamstring us long-term.

Quote:Suh plays a position we already have and he wants around 100m.

 

There is no one on the current roster that is in the same stratosphere (impact wise as Suh), this is a dumb argument.

You bet, the 2015 FA class was apart of the long-term plan all along.

Abry Jones, Roy Miller, and Sen'Derrick Marks coming off an injury that usually saps explosion for bigger athletes (see Geno Atkins), yea, the Jaguars are set at the DT position.

Oh how sad you're gonna be when it's March 12th and guys like Brandon Graham, Charles Clay, Ron Parker, and Derek Newton are making visits to the Jags instead. Also, all of those guys would be sweet additions to the team.

Since you know the future, do you mind giving me the winning lottery numbers?

Dude, do you know how much money and cap room the Jaguars have to offer?

 

Granted, as I indicated in another thread, money is far from the only consideration in determining where a FA lands.

 

But from a financial standpoint, if what you say is true, then there is no way the Jaguars of the 1990s sign all the players they did.

 

Maybe not the very top of every position.  But a ton of players who could help.

Just give me McCourty and anything else is just gravy.

I think you will get your gravy, just not sure WHO that gravy will end up being.
