Draft re-do

I don't think the Patriots are going to have a "good culture" for much longer with Brady gone. In fact, you could see everything unravel pretty soon. We show less advertisements to registered users.

Funny how the fanbase has one of the most exciting offseasons in our history and our [BLEEP] section of fans found a way to show up and throw shade at their fellow jag fans. That’s the real Welp... nice work Lmao (05-02-2021, 12:45 AM)TheDuke007 Wrote: 1. Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson This is the best one so far. You get the top safety, 2nd best tight end, a very good complimentary back and an edge rusher with a great motor in Ossai. Trey Smith and Nixon were fantastic value. I'm not totally sure if Jenkins will be a left or right tackle, but his versatility and mauling style would be welcome. I still believe the Jaguars actual draft may turn out as well as this. Little and Cisco will determine whether this happens.

Was surprised we didn't go with Jenkins at 33, and go DB later. Regardless, DB is harder to upgrade than tight end. If Campbell would have slipped to 45, would you have picked him over Friermuth?
The only problem with this exercise is it presumes that the same guys would be in the same sports assuming we changed our picks.
A change in one pick has an inevitable domino effect on everyone else's draft. If we took Teven Jenkins at 25, there's no guarantee that Friermuth is available at 45 and so on. That said, the revised hypothetical drafts submitted have been impressive. Kudos. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!

It's just for fun. No one is taking this seriously. It's just a way to blow off steam and see other people's opinions of what should have been done. We've done this before after the draft.

I think one of the things that is so frustrating to me and probably others is that the 2021 NFL draft fell in a way that was absolutely wonderful for the Jaguars. Some years, there is no value available at need positions when you pick and you have to make the best of a bad situation. Not this year. We were handed almost dream picks where need equaled value. The Jaguars then simply failed to capitalize on it. That's frustrating. I went into the draft seeing our needs ranked in the following in order: 1. Quarterback 2. Offensive Tackle 3. Tight End 4. Safety 5. Edge Look at the order in my redraft. With the exception of swapping tight end and safety, that's the exact order of my picks. Under my scenario, we would have filled our top five needed positions with the best quarterback, the best safety, a first round offensive tackle, the second best tight end (and we knew going into the draft that the best tight end wasn't realistic) and an edge rusher that many considered a second round talent with some even having projected in the late first round. Wow. Wow. Wow. A great complimentary speedy running back was even available all of the way to our fifth round pick. Instead, we chose to take a very risky tackle versus a much more safe one, an inferior safety, an inferior edge, and a tight end that is so far inferior that he isn't even in the same ballpark and may not even make the team (assuming a fair competition). Yes, under the actual draft, we got better depth at cornerback, but that was one of the least of my concerns going into the draft. We also got a better complimentary running back which is a nicety, but doesn't come remotely close to all of the players we passed up. We show less advertisements to registered users.

Never agreeing with them and throwing shade at other fans for disagreeing with your points( like the op says) makes you a DB. You know, like calling them cheerleaders and bs for being excited about their team. I can be an [BLEEP] from time to time and I have no problem admitting that. If you are going to be one as well you probably shouldn’t be shocked when people call you out. (05-02-2021, 12:45 AM)TheDuke007 Wrote: 1. Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson I envisioned Kenneth Gainwell being the 4th RB taken in the draft and being selected in the middle of Round 3. It will be interesting to see if the Eagles took advantage of an opportunity of being able to draft him in the upper part of Round 5 ( # 150 ) or if other teams considering a RB were correct to pass on him earlier. Regarding Jermar Jefferson, the Lions ended up drafting with pick # 257 near the completion of the draft, I think he's good value selection. But the player who looked like he was going to jump out to me at # 257, Mississippi St. RB Kylin Hill, was taken by the Packers the previous pick. Hill's more advanced receiving skills are the primary difference I would have preferred him over Jefferson, if available..

I think a lot of the skepticism about him came from his injury and the inability for teams to get a true gauge through a combine physical. I had read somewhere that teams were having trouble accessing accurate medical information with him specifically. I only say that because I dug into him as well because I was high on him going into the second round and couldn’t figure out why we passed on him with the 25th and 33rd pick. Then I read that somewhere.
1 - Trevor Lawrence
25 - Gregory Rosseau 33 - Tevin Jenkins 45 - Pat Friermuth 65 - Andre Cisco 106 - Chuba Hubbard 130 - Sean Wade 145 - Daviyon Nixon/Taquon Graham (whichever is a better scheme fit) 170 - Tedarrell Slaton 249 - Dylan Moses
Championship Formula:
1) Draft Trevor Lawrence! 2) Play good physical Defense! 3) Keep 91% of the roster healthy! 4) ??? 5) Blank #2 6) CHAMPIONSHIP!!! We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

There's a specific segment of this board who always is negative just as there are those who refuse to see the problems with what the team is doing. I'm a realist, who calls it as I see it both good and bad. Some of the stuff Urbs and Baalke did are just headscratchingly bad, but some of the sunshine pumpers here will have their teeth ground down before they admit it. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
