Quote:Trubisky @ #4? Yikes.  We've already drafted two late riser QB's in Gabbert and Bortles.  No thanks.
I'm with you, I dont get the Trubisky love from Jaguars fans, I seen one jag fan on twitter say if we want an accurate athletic QB take Trubisky, but Blake Bortles was just as accurate and athletic coming out of College as Trubisky, plus Bortles is bigger, taller and had more experience. Trubisky is 3 years away no way I would pick him, Watson I would pick in the 1st, and Mahomes in the 2nd, other then that Peterman in the mid rounds.

Quote:I am honestly not sure how Caldwell still has a job. 
 

Yeah, I don't get it either. He hasn't been good. He whiffed on the coach and the quarterback -- arguably the two most important components of a winning franchise. He also whiffed on the "cornerstone" left tackle and spent a top 5 pick on a pass rusher who has to learn how to rush the passer. Jalen Ramsey falling in 2016 saved his job, in my opinion.

His early second rounders have not been great either. 

 

Cyprien? Oof.

 

Lee? Two bad years, one average year.

 

Yeldon? Slug.

 

And his free agent signings have been atrocious.

This is my take:  They've fell in love with a player (or two) and by blowing some smoke for a QB, they hope another team leap frogs them.  I really really don't think they take a QB at 4.

They cant all be smokescreens.  Watson won't make it to 12. 

 

Jacksonville knows the popularity of Watson.  And why remaining hush on this.  So if gone by 3 Doesn't have to explain anything.  And does not want Buffalo or Ny to leap frog them for Watson.  If that is the qb they are targeting.  Which would make sense. New HC,  new Head of Football Operations. 

 

But even san fran could pick Watson.  It is the whole Traits like Brady thing.   Clutch qb in big games.  Is very hard to find. 

 

Plus they have not picked up Blakes 5th year option.  And won't prior to Draft.

If we draft a QB at 4, we deserve to burn into further non-existence. None of the QBs are worth a top 10 pick and we're not devoid of a QB at the moment. If for some reason we suck so much again and come away with a top 5 pick again; next years QB class should be much better. At least that's what has been said by smarter people than me....

If Watson fell to 4th rd, sure. If we didn't have Bortles, sure maybe get one in the 2nd. But I haven't given up on Bortles yet and I don't see the need to drop a first rd pick on these less than stellar QBs. We have more of a need for RB/TE/OL/S. QB shouldn't be a concern until next year in my eyes....

The dude has won 4 games a year average.  That pathetically bad.  But ya see no need to draft a new one?

Thanks for finally providing some links of the Bears working out Watson. So let's see what the experts had to say about the workout...

  • Tony Pauline - Deshaun Watson solid thus far but I thought he threw better at combine. Lack of ball speed glaring

  • Clemson TigerNet,com - Looked to us like Watson was a little off, especially on throws to the left side

  • D. Orlando - Deshaun Watson's throwing script is featuring his mobility. Was just high on an in-cut. Ball sailed on him.

  • Dan Hope - Counted eight missed throws for Deshaun Watson at #CleomsonProDay. Had some nice downfield throws too, but probably didn't raise stock today.

After this workout, I think it's even more safe to say he's not going top five. I have Watson falling to the Texans at #26 unless a team trades up to get him ahead of the Texans.

the talk of a surprise is mayeb that the Jags have a trade partner already for the 4th pick. The surprise is a trade down.


LOVE THEM JAGUARS!

Pete seems confident this isn't a smoke screen. We'll find out.

My reaction to this is that it means that TC wants to trade down real, real bad
