Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

Either way there will be a lot of it for the next 2 1/2 weeks and then for the first couple of days later when guys are saying the mistakes we made taking guy a over guy b.

Hey, I love to talk draft but at this point, I just wish they would get this thing over so we can all find out which players Dave selects for the team.

 

I am looking forward to watching the draft. Not sure why, but I will watch it anyway.

Yeah, I live for the draft. It is my favorite non-game sporting even of the year. I even love watching the 7th round.

Quote:Free Agents:

TE - Jermaine Gresham

RT - Joe Barksdale

SOLB - Akeem Ayers

FS - Devin McCourty

DE - Jason Pierre Paul


Jermaine Gresham: TE who can block and be a playmaker in the passing game. He doesn't have an injury history, but he does have some what of a fumble issue. What I have read is he fumbles when fighting for the extra yardage.

Joe Barksdale: This is up in the air for someone to target. We could very easily just try going through the draft, but we may want someone with a bit of experience.

Akeem Ayers: The reason to target him is this is a weaker draft in terms of finding a strong side outside linebacker. Ayers can fill this role pretty well.

Devin McCourty: Every team that needs a FS will be trying to target him. We will need to pay the price for him, and have Gus use some of his powers to persuade McCourty. New England probably won't want to pay for what he will end up getting, and the franchise tag will still be too much. However, Brady's new deal freed up quite a bit of cap, so they may try to keep McCourty.

Jason Pierre Paul: This would be more of a luxury option if he is allowed to test the free agency waters. The giants might try to use a transition tag here rather than franchise, so they can try to lock up one of their star players. If they don't want to match, then they have the draft which happens to be fairly loaded for DE's. However, he is young and can have Clemons rotate with him.


Draft:

Round 1 - Leonard Williams DT/DE USC

Round 2 - Eric Kendricks ILB/OLB UCLA

Round 3 - Todd Gurley RB Georgia

Round 4 - Daryl Williams OT Oklahoma

Round 5 - Josh Shaw CB/FS USC

Round 6 - Kaelin Clay PR/WR Utah

Round 7 - Michael Orakpo OLB Texas State


For those who don't know who Kaelin Clay is, the only thing you might remember was he was the player who dropped the ball against Oregon in the end zone to have it returned earlier this year. However, he is the top punt returner in college football that is eligible for the draft. He was only beat out by 1 person who was a freshman when I looked at the stats.

Eric Kendricks and Todd Gurley could have their rounds switched. Round 3 looks like they should select Best RB or OT available. If we don't get Barksdale, then perhaps Best OT in the 3rd.

If we don't get a FS via Free Agency, I would like to see Kurtis Drummond as a Jaguar. However, we could try to trade with the Browns if they wish to move up. Perhaps they would like Cooper and we could swap draft picks and possibly get Tashaun Gipson.

 

 

 Cable,  just to let you and anyone else who has interest in Kaelin Clay know,  he had a Pre-Draft Visit with the Lions earlier today:

 According to the website link that knarnn posted in another thread,  which has been a very helpful guide for me in recent days,  this was Kaelin Clay's first Pre-Draft visit.   There's no reported workouts yet for Clay.    He seems like someone with differential return ability but probably will be limited on Offense in most games for the team that ends up with him.

Same here. I equally enjoy hopping on Twitter immediately after the draft to see the UDFA scramble, misinformation and all.

If the NFL had it's way,  all of the UDRFA signings wouldn't be mentioned publicly for around 48 hours.  With a special UDRFA show on NFL Network the Monday Night after the draft to announce the signings that have taken place.   I believe the program would actually get good ratings compared to the ratings for most other sports programs.

That would be a good idea. I'm sure the NFL would jump all over another opportunity to milk the draft and who's remaining for another 2 days.

Vic Beasely

Michael Bennett

Duke Johnson

Max Garcia

Xavier Williams

Ben Heeney

 It's along the same lines what the NFL would prefer the first afternoon and night of the NFL FA period.   With the suspense building up to that point.

 

 Also,  the NFL added the NFL Veteran Combine this season.   I think part of that decision was from the standpoint of getting more exposure for the league and in particular NFL Network,

I still wish the NFL draft could work like it does on fanspeak. This is by far the best haul I have seen yet.

Woah, Maxx in the 3rd? Wow lol.

Some Chris Trapasso did a 7 round mock for CBS Sports. I don't know how good he is, but any time I see a 7 round mock, I love creating my own off of it so:

 

Rd 1: LEO Vic Beasley - I agree with him. Von Miller similar.

 

Rd 2: FS Damarious Randall - He could be exactly what we need at FS.

 

Rd 3: RB Duke Johnson - Very solid RB. Not one of my top 4, but after a run on backs, had to get him or nobody.

 

Rd 4: CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu- Debated between him and Grayson as a developmental backup QB. Decided Olomu, due to his round 1 grade prior to injury.

 

Rd 5: C B.J. Finney - We need depth and competition for Bowanko and Finney is a very solid prospect. He can play every interior position which is an added bonus.

 

Rd 6: WR/KR Stefon Diggs - Would be our slot WR as well as KR guy, which we need with Todman gone.

 

Rd 7: QB Chris Bonner - I've seen a lot, and I mean lot, of people who are really big on this kid and he seems to be the popular pick for "guy that nobody has heard of that has pro bowl potential," by some scouts. Might be worth a 7th round pick to back up and develop with Bortles.

I agree, that is the best one yet

1) Amare Cooper - WR

2) Eli Harold - LEO

3) Tevin Coleman/TJ Yeldon - RB

4) Davis Tull - OTTO


Going a different route than pass rusher at 3, just because Dave always seems to catch everyone off guard.

Keep coming with Stefon!

Updated Drafttek 7 round mock, so here we go:

 

Rd 1: LEO Vic Beasley - They say we should take Fowler due to his versatility. Reading what they say on Beasley, he should definitely be our pick.

 

Rd 2: RB Jay Ajayi - Pretty much the closest to complete back in the draft. They mocked him to us here and I agree.

 

Rd 3: FS Damarious Randall - Could be exactly what we need at FS. He is my top FS, so need meets value here.

 

Rd 4: OTTO Lorenzo Mauldin - Needs a little refinement against the run and is a little under-sized, but could be an excellent OTTO in a couple of years.

 

Rd 5: CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu - 1st round prospect prior to injury. WAAAY too much value to pass on here. Especially, given his potential to be a top 10 CB in the league.

 

Rd 6: WR/KR Stefon Diggs - Would give us our slot WR as well as a high quality return player with none on the roster.

 

Rd 7: TE Nick Boyle - Has all the traits and potential to be a good blocking TE to replace Lewis, as well as being a mis-match as a receiver.

Randy Gregroy bashed the city of New Orleans before his visit lol this guy doesnt get it

What's not to get?

 

Not the first time a player didn't like a city or didn't want to play for a team...

How about being a professional, its a privilege to play in the NFL and with his baggage he should be happy somebody wants to draft him. He's not Eli Manning or John Elway where they were the number one pick and can dictate where they wanna play. Even then they were whinny babies. 

I did a mock draft on another forum where homers pick their own teams.  Here's what I got:

 

Round 1: Leonard Williams, DT

Round 2: Jay Ajayi, RB

Round 3: Nelson Agholor, WR

Round 4: Kurtis Drummond, FS

 

No way Agholor will be there in the 3rd round though.
