Head: Watkins
Heart: a)Clowney, b)Mack, c)trade down, d)Watkins, e)Matthews
Gut: My gut tells me Watkins is a waste when we haven't finished our offensive line and don't have our future QB, so Dave will be methodical and draft Matthews. No wait. I think that was my head talking.
I don't know. I'm totally confused.
Quote:Last one before the big day. Let's do it shall we?
For those of you who don't know, Head means who you think the Jags SHOULD draft, Heart is who you want them to draft, and Gut is who you think they will draft. Try to keep the scenarios realistic (AKA Clowney is off the board)
Mine:
Head: Mack
Heart: Manziel
Gut: Watkins
Head: Jake Matthews or trade down (he's the safest bet 10 year healthy starting Tackle)
Heart: Trade up for Clowney (I want to see the Jaguars be dominant again in Defense)
Gut: Sammy Watkins
Quote:Reminds me of a quote from High Fidelity, one of my favorite movies:
Well, I've been listening to my gut since I was 14 years old, and frankly speaking, I've come to the conclusion that my guts have (expletive) for brains.
Yep!
Head - Mack
Caldwell has described scenarios in the past where teams may be less likely to move up in a draft for a player at a specific position if the position is considered 'deep'. He then stated that OT and WR are deep for this class. This tells me that while he sees value in a Matthews or a Robinson or even Watkins, he knows that while he may not get the
same value later, he can get a good player later at that position. This leads me to believe that he takes the best player at the shallowest position that provides the best impact. That's Mack. Also, I just don't see Jeff Fisher letting Watkins go past him.
Heart - Watkins... no! Mack! ... no wait! Watkins! ... Mack! ... Both?!
Mack can limit the playing time and by extension increase the performance of the Sam 'backer and the LEO. That means Dekoda Watson, Chris Claiborne, Jason Babin, Andre Branch, and some other people that I'm probably missing. That's a lot of impact by one guy.
As for Watkins, he takes the top off of the Defense. Not many guys do that and it would be a lot of fun to have one of those on the roster instead of trying to defend against them. The man scores points and there aren't a lot of people on the team that do that.
Gut - Trade down
Gus takes a package, trades down a bit and gets a 'not quite as good' pass rusher in Barr, or a Mike Evans. Just seems like he is looking to move back.
Head mack
Heart Evans
Gut trade
Head: Trade Back (most likely with ATL if Robinson/Mack still on board)
Heart: Trade Back (with Dallas and get 1 and 2 along with next year 1st minimum)...Take Barr/Dennard/Lewan/Martin @ 16.
Gut: Mack/Watkins
Quote:That makes his opinion worth 100s of times what yours is worth.
Is there like a NADA blue book for opinions somewhere?
Is there some other market mechanism to determine the relative worth of opinions?
Quote:Your opinion is worth just as much as mine buddy. Nada. Sooner you realize that the better.
Oh yeah, I'm with you there. But I meant literally. We had no offense last season. That may be why, IYO, we'd lean toward drafting Watkins
Head: Mack
Heart: Manziel/ Bridgewater
Gut: Watkins
Would be happy with any of those guys
All add one
Wish: Clowney
Head: Mack
Heart: Bridgewater
Gut: Trade Down
The Manziel talk is ramping up recently and I think two of Dallas, Oakland, Minnesota, and Cleveland want him. I just feel we're going to get multiple inquiries and trade down.
Head: Trade Back
Heart: Trade Back, and take a Quarterback
Gut: Khalil Mack
They all rhyme, isn't that whack?
Tade down all depends on which player is there at #3. If Clowney and Watkins are both gone, is there a player any team wants to trade up for? I don't think so. I don't even know if someone wants to trade up for Watkins. It's basically just Clowney.
Maybe the Browns really want Manziel and they think we might take him. They offer #4 and #26 for #3. We take Mack at #4 and then Teddy at #26? I would love that. Then take BA WR (Robinson, Benjamin, Matthews or Lee)

They all rhyme!
The first three did all rhyme!
Then you ruined it with your last line.
Head: Mack
Heart: Johnny
Gut: Trade down - Barr/Evans/Matthews
Head Mathews
Heart Manziel
Gut Watkins

Fixed.

There is no way they offer #4 and #26 for #3...seriously, no way.
Head- Trade down
Heart- Bortles
Gut- Watkins

Changed my opinion.

Gut: Donald (probably after a trade down)

Do the math.
