"...it's a good tool. It's a good system of checks and balances."
"It's not going to dictate decisions, but it's going to help us go to the right decision."
I love to hear this. This type of analysis and decision making has been used in business for years, but is somewhat "new" to the NFL (particularly for scouting.) What's reassuring is that his is the right approach (using it as a tool or aid and not more than that.)
There are many people and organizations who do not completely grasp that and lead themselves to poor decisions based on incorrect application of such tools. They hear the "analytics" buzzword and jump in expecting the technology to do the job for them, not knowing how to correctly implement such a tool.
I thought it was a nice little insight.

This is a guy I'd like the Jaguars to take a look at, a solid veteran center who can also play guard, pretty good player as well.
From rotoworld
Bengals released G/C Mike Pollak.
"
Pollak probably should have been the Bengals' starting center last year, but they opted to let rookie Russell Bodine take his lumps instead. Versatile, historically effective, and only 30, Pollak will draw interest in free agency".

I get the feeling Bradley isn't "sold" on anyone as he was with Bortles |

last season.
He's more eager/willing to trade out this year.
The top pass rushers are better suited for 3-4 OLB.
The one elite DL will likely be gone (Williams.)
IMO, our board looks like this:
Williams
Trade
Cooper
Scherff
If there's a pick they may covet, it's probably Williams. At the same time they probably realize he isn't likely to be there.
That leaves the motivation to trade down and add talent.

ESPN Reporter Mike Sando says this about Jags Trading Down |

While I am having problems providing links on this forum, in the Titans mail box at ESPN.com, there is this comment...
"Mike Sando (ESPN Reporter) spoke with one GM who said he believes the Jaguars are more likely to trade out of the No. 3 spot than the Titans are to trade out of No. 2"
If this trade down happens it will be because the Titans ask for too much and the Jags ask for a lot less.
One crazy option I heard last night of PFT TV from Brian Westbrook, (which obviously means nothing) is that the Eagles might give up their entire draft (all their picks in the 2015 draft). If they perhaps added a No. 2 in 2016, that might be enough for the Jags to fill their roster with players drafted. It would also give Caldwell plenty of picks to trade up and grab the players he wants in the 2nd and 3rd rounds (2nd Day).
The Eagles are projected to have picks: 20, 52, 84, 119, 155, 191, 228
THIS IS JUST A RUMOUR, and so it should be treated as such.
Your thoughts are much welcomed though.

I liked him on the Texans and loved him at Rice (along with our old friend Jarett Dillard).
He's a pretty solid talent and if the price is right I wouldn't mind seeing him brought in. He will definitely end up on a roster somewhere.

Amari Cooper-Marqise Lee Comparison |

There seems to be a large group of people here that love Amari Cooper
Do we already have him? Remember Lane Kippen was the coach for both players so he ran the same system.
M. Lee 118 catches Sophomore Year
1,721 yards
14 TD
A. Cooper 124 catches Junior Year
1,727 yards
16 scores
Cooper played in one more game. The other college years stats were real close with Lee being a little better.
Wait till Lee gets used to the NFL. We could see a major development by the end of the year in the way Lee played. I expect him to be a lot better this year.
