He ran a 4.3, soft hands, silky smooth route running. He may be an upgrade from Ridley. Plus picking up extra picks.
Baalke deserves credit tonight.
My Grade :. A
I hope he and Trevor have instant chemistry. Stay tuned!

Love it. Wanted him, got 3 picks aswell. Just a great round
With first round wideouts not named Matt Jones, you know they've got the athletic skills.
It's all about mentality and that will play out over time. Will the brain be fast enough to use those skills correctly at this level where everyone else has fast muscles too? Will he become a head case? No way to know.
But I'll be his biggest fan as long as he wears teal.
Congratulations. Let’s go!
Now we don't have to listen to "Maybe Aiyuk" discussions anymore. The Jags have both their #2 and #3 receivers for the next 4 years.
hopefuly BTJ turns into this years cj stoud as rookie of the year with a outstanding season. I'm shocked jags took him with 23rd pick,i wasn't surpised though when we traded down.
We're still pretending to be a high powered offense when we can't protect the QB or run the ball. Hmm. We had a solid defense last year until it died off at the end of the season. Would be nice to find some depth and skill there.

Draft isn't over
Obviously you never know in the draft, but on the face of it. Really exciting pick that gives us a lot to look forward to, the draft equity they picked up was more than expected, so have to give props to baalke for that.
With how the board has fallen still some very good prospects at corner, be interesting to see if they trade up tonight for Kool-aid. If I was offered yesterday morning jags would get btj and kool-aid and an extra 3rd next year id of snapped your hand off
Through my usual teal colored lenses, this seems to be a pretty good pick. It's even better considering we picked up three extra draft choices, one this year and two next year.
Before the draft, I kind of thought there was a good opportunity to trade down because there were so many players rated around that level that I would have been perfectly happy with.
I've seen alot of haters calling him Kevin white 2.0
Honestly I was hoping to draft an DT or CB w/our first pick to which I'm NOT the GM/HC to make the pick. NEVERTHELESS, we drafted the replacement for you know who or should I say that we Upgraded the position. Brian Thomas Jr. has the speed, hands and skill set to be The Man at the position of our future. He was our choice at the 17th. pick but we traded out of that position, collected additional picks and still landed him. He was the third fasted during the combine and when he visited us, he impressed us.
Welcome to Duuuuuuuuuuvalllllll BTJ, I can't wait to see you torch the field.
Time Will Tell.
NH3...

Tbf we’ve made moves this off season to improve the oline. Morse is a huge upgrade and Anton Harrison only got better as the season went on, plenty of options to grab some extra depth on the oline also.

Martavius Bryant
Dude scored 17 TD last season, which is 1 every 4 catches. 6’4” and runs a 4.33 he will immediately be one of the fastest Jaguars in team history.
His 17 TD in a single-season is good for 3rd all-time in LSU History behind Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson, and MORE than Malik Nabers.
His 1,077 yards last year is good for 10th most in a single-season and LSU has produced some absolute studs at WR, they’ve had some dawgs come thru there.
Thomas will punish a smaller type CB. His routes can use some work but his hands are elite. If he breaks one, they won’t run him down. Bro is about to cause all kinds of problems for defenses.
Kirk and Zay Jones will benefit but most of all Trevor Lawrence.
I just hope they find a way to keep Kirk with his contract.

It’s going to be more difficult for opponents to try to stop everything. There are some excellent options for Lawrence to choose from. Remember that injuries were a huge problem last season, so I would hang on to zay jones. He’s a good wide receiver and should be able to get lost in the mix when it comes to the defensive priorities making him even more dangerous a wide receiver. I really like all these wide receivers to go along with etn. Jags are stacked.
Draft and develop. This kid is young and raw, but his natural athleticism is off the charts. We have our potential WR1 on a 5 yr cost controlled contract. This is a great gift for TLaw.
