God, if I only I knew half as much as you.

It seems that you were clueless on the matter. Therefore I informed you of why it's very possible.

I think Bridgewater at 3 is better value than Mack at 3, yes.

This is why it's smart... for the first five rounds or so, you're going to be able to get talent graded a round higher.

 

 

I think an elite player is more important that anything.  Elite playmakers is what we need moreso than solid contributors (although I agree - we need both).

We have enough picks to get a lot of good, solid contributors.

 

I don't think we should trade our #3 pick if we have an elite, impact rated player on the board still (Clowney, Watkins, etc).

I agree with that, too.  It would take a great deal of compensation to turn away those two.

I read today that Watkins himself compared himself to Torrey Smith of the Ravens....

 

While Torrey is a good WR, thats certainly not one that I'd spend a top 5 pick on.

It really doesnt affect his play... which is outstanding btw. He was running circles around guys as a freshman.

Using that template...

 

 

Trade down from 3 to 6 with Atlanta, as they will be desperate to get Clown at that pick, Atlanta gives us their 2015 1st rounder, plus their 3rd rounder in the 2014 draft in return. 

 

Trade down from 6 to 10 with Detroit, as they will be desperate to get Sammy Watkins at that pick. Detroit gives Jax its 2nd rounder in 2014 to move up, plus a 2015 4th rounder. 

 

Jax would then currently sit with: 

 

 

pick 10  (jags have their choice of Barr/ Gilbert/ Evans there. or possibly a further trade down. They might even be able to swindle a 3rd or 4th rounder from Tennessee at that point to swap picks as the Titans would likely be desperate for Gilbert to replace the CB they lost in FA. 

 

Then the Jags could hold up the Rams for ransom as the Rams would want Evans....purging a 2nd rounder from the Rams to swap spots in the round....

 

finally:

 

Jags at pick 12 - take one of Barr/ DT Donald/ TE Ebron/ DE Ford

 

and still have: 

 

3 high 2nd rounders

3 high 3rd rounders

2 fourth rounders

3 fifth rounders

2 sixth rounders

1 seventh rounder

 

extra 2015 1st rounder (which could be packaged to move up for Jameis)

extra 2015 4th rounder

 

That was easy, huh?

He is a lot like Torrey Smith, but with an angry side after the catch. He gets the ball in the flat and he runs a whole lot like Blackmon really. Angry and surprisingly powerful.

Bingo. I know that I'm not stating anything new or groundbreaking here, but elite players are better to have than picks. I agree with you on that.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
