This is a guy I would like to take a look at in the 2nd or 3rd. Best coverage player in the draft, a hard hitter, and would be the perfect FS to play center field in Gus's D. If we get Ward our safety positions are set and he automatically makes our secondary better.
Caldwell is already set on Josh Evans as the future. His words not mine.

Quote:Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell indicated the team is pleased with 2013 sixth-round FS Josh Evans returning as a 2014 starter. Caldwell specifically said upgrading free safety will not be an offseason priority.

I am a Gator fan and Evans is a decent player but Ward would be a huge upgrade and would be perfect for what Gus wants in his FS. Dave said it isn't a priority but if the value is there and Ward is sitting there in the 3rd I think he would pull the trigger.

Not arguing with you FGNJ just pointing out what Dave said. I agree with you that the position can be upgraded but unless someone amazing has a draft day slide and presents enormous value I have a feeling Dave will stick with what he's got for next season.

I believe we pick up at least one more Safety in the Draft or FA. We have to honestly. Prosinski is all but gone in my opinion. The only time I ever really remember seeing him, was at times when we were in our Goal Line Defense. He's a flat out liability in Coverage, which is why they limit him to GL Def. They'll find somebody to replace him, at the very least.
Nothing attributable to Caldwell precludes his responsibility to improve the untalented roster and develop Blaine Gabbert.
His level of satisfaction simply means he's fallen sucker to a band of Gene Smith patriots still within the organization. Lots of passive aggressive behavior to deal with is never a plan.

I think he's taking TMD.

I have to disagree. TMD was irritating and strived to be. This guy is just flat-out weird. It's like listening to Timothy Leary or Cheech Marin do football commentary.
Quote:I often wonder what type of hallucinogen that Jungle Cat uses.
Do you think it's an actual hallucinogen or something more amphetamine based? I get the feeling that his head is just going 100 miles an hour, and he's typing simply trying to keep up.
I made a post about this guy in another thread and I think he'd be a great fit here at FS. We'd probably have to grab him with our 2nd round pick, though. I don't see him falling to the 3rd round.

I'd take that with a grain of salt, although I can't see us taking Ward with our 2nd
