A couple scenarios, both of which are with "perfect F/A" aquisitions. G/DE needs addressed. 

 

 

1.Sammy Watkins, WR

2. Van Noy, OLB

3. Travis Swanson, C

4. Seastrunk, RB

4. Halapio, OG

This scenario has us grabbing Boyd as a developmental QB in round 6 or 7 and riding with Henne/Gabbert until 2015.

 

1. Teddy Bridgewater, QB

2.  Tre Mason, RB

3. D. Easley, DT (with his injury and "undersize" tag I think he slides to us here) possibly able to play multiple positions along Dline

4. Mike Davis, WR

4. Stork, C

 

I stop at round 4 because I honestly don't have in depth knowledge on guys who will be late round picks. I don't know a lot about backups and I don't pretend to be some all knowing GM.

 

However I think these two scenarios benefit the Jaguars each in their own way in the short term and long term. One has a wait and see approach to QB while grabbing a developmental guy in Boyd who could surprise, especially getting to work with a weapon in Watkins he is familiar with. If all else fails, we should be able to nab a really good QB in 2015. The other addresses QB and RB, while relying more on FA's to fix the holes at DE and Oline.

 

The first scenario gives us the possibility of having a trio of WRs at the end of the season that could be the best in the league, and if Shorts leaves and Blackmon is a good boy has us a very good trio next season with Sanders in the 3rd role. Seastrunk is a good RB to add to Todman and hopefully a more polished Robinson. Halapio adds to an Oline group that could be much better than last years with Joeckel, Pasztor, FA, Halapio, and Swanson. Van Noy could be that "Leo" pick and we could still add a FA Dline guy since the defense requires a lot of different looks and guys to play multiple roles.

 

The Second gives us our, hopefully, QB of the future, a firecracker RB, an all purpose Dline guy, another WR to add to the mix, and our new C.

 

Nobody is perfect, so I don't pretend that this is what will happen, or what Caldwell SHOULD do, or that the exact picks could happen like this. 

But everyone is doing mocks, and I am bored. So these are mine....

 

Class, begin dissecting. 

 

I like your 2nd mock better after 1st rd. I don't see drafting a qb at 3 But I'd love to get Mason,Easley and stork.

Two ACL tears and reports of very bad interviews at the Combine make me very wary of Easley.

"Florida DT Dominique Easley — The combine’s biggest value is for teams to investigate players’ character and medical statuses, and Easley might not be in great shape with either. Easley was described as “distracted” and “immature” by one team, and his discussion with the media that he preferred watching cartoons to football might back that up. Also, he’s coming off his second torn ACL in two years and has not decided when he can work out in April for scouts while he rehabs."

Don't you talk bad stuff bout no gator players!

Not gonna need a very sharp knife to start dissecting those two scenarios.  Sorry.  The only think I like is Watkins in the 1st round, as you probably read my other posts in various threads saying I too thought this would give us one of the best WR's combos if Blackmon were able to come back.

I can understand being concerned about ACL injuries but most these players are immature. Fred Taylor has admitted he was very lazy and immature early in career. Easley is good person unlike Aaron hernandez,C Rainey ,P Harvin etc.

If we take Halapio in the 4th I'll loose all faith in Caldwell. Halapio should go in the 7th round

I like your second draft, but feel that we are reaching on Mason in the 2nd. Feel like there will be another RB that can be had later in the draft. I think Toddman and Robison can form a serviceable duo
