2016 First Round Pick


Question:

 

Might the Jags have any interest in Damon Harrison - NT - Jets and if so at what price point?

 

He is a 2 down - DT - is he 6 Mil or less?

 

Is he worth signing to rotate with Roy MIller?

I am thinking that if the Jags decide not to pay Tashaun Gipson - might they pursue Rashad Johnson - FS - Cardinals instead?

 

I am wondering if Rashad Johnson is one of those bargain Free Agent signings kinda like Skuta.

Damon Harrison is one of the best (if not the best) against the run. Don't ask him to rush the passer.

 

Same with Ian Williams.

Sure the Jags can dream, but most likely they will not get all the Free Agents they want, so here is my latest projection

 

Free Agency

 

1. Olivier Vernon - DE - Dolphins - 14.5 Mil/Yr

2. Sean Smith - CB - Chiefs - 11 MIl/Yr

3. Jaye Howard - DT - Chiefs - 7.5 Mil/Yr

4. Walter Thurmond - FS - Eagles - 6 MIl/Yr

5. Chris Ivory - RB - Jets - 4 MIl/Yr

 

Draft:

 

Rd 1(5): Myles Jack - LB - UCLA

Rd 2(38): Jonathan Bullard - DE - Florida

Rd 3(69): Jordan Jenkins - Otto LB - Georgia

Rd 4(105): DeAndre Houston-Carson - FS - William & Mary

Rd 5(144): Connor McGovern - OG - Missouri

Rd 6(177): Tyler Johnstone - OT - Oregon

Rd 6(193): Matt Judon - DE - Grand Valley State

Rd 7(213): Trae Elston - SS - Mississppi

Where's Irvin? He seems like a virtual lock to sign with Jacksonville!

What if the Jags decide not to chase Vernon or Jackson, then what? Here is what I think might happen.

 

Free Agency

 

1, Sean Smith - CB - Chiefs - 11 Mil/Yr - No. 1 CB opposite House, with Colvin at nickle

2. Tashaun Gipson - FS - Browns - 9 Mil/Yr - Single-high Free Safety - Jags sweeten deal with incentives to push contract to 10 MIl/Yr if incentives met

3. Bruce Irvin - Otto LB - Seahawks - 9.5 Mil/Yr - Pushes Skuta to bench and to Leo play

4. Jaye Howard - DT - Chiefs - 8.5 MIl/Yr - True 3 Tech to rotate with Marks

5. Robert Ayers - DE (Leo) - Giants - 8.5 Mil/Yr - Not Vernon but 9.5 Sacks in Giants defense is not bad for a backup Leo

6. Tamba Hali - DE (Leo) - Chiefs - 6.5 MIl/Yr - Prove it deal as a rotational player - should thrive

7. Chris Ivory - RB - Jets - 4 MIl/Yr - Short Yardage RB - Yeldon/Ivory tandem - Toby Gerhart released shortly thereafter to recoup salary cap space

 

Total Spent: 57 Mil - should be noted that Hali could be cut after 2016 and Ayers after 2017 - leaving cap room for re-signing emerge Jag players

 

(Cutting Gerhart releases his 3.5 MIl cap hit so spending is still 57 MIl out of 92.5 MIl leaving 35.5 Mil - The Jags should be able to roll over 25+ Mil to cap next year)

 

(Might Alualu be another candidate for release of his 4 Mil/Yr salary?)

 

Draft:

 

Rd 1(5): Myles Jack - ILB - UCLA - Pushes Poz to the bench for final season with Jags - Irvin-Jack-Smith - fastest LB corps in NFL

Rd 2(38): Jonathan Bullard - DE - Florida - Will rotate with Odrick at 5 Tech - Big DE position

Rd 3(69): Nick Martin - C - Notre Dame - Plug him at Center on Day One.

Rd 4(105): Sean Davis - FS - Maryland - Will backup of Gipson at FS

Rd 5(144): Paul Perkins - RB - UCLA - Jags draft a versatile RB that can fit into the rotation

Rd 6(177): Tyler Johnstone - OT - Oregon - Backup Swing OT

Rd 6(193): Matt Judon - DE - Grand Valley State - Backup Leo - goodbye Chris Smith

Rd 7(213): Trae Elston - SS - Mississippi - more of a coverage SS than a thumper - although he can tackle

Would it be that big of a surprise if the Jags signed Kraig Urbik - OLG - formerly of the Bills to a low cost Free Agent contract given that Doug Marrone, the Jags Oline coach was also Urbik's coach at Buffalo?

 

I think Urbik at 30 years old is a great low cost insurance policy in case of injury at OG or OT.

Well, I mean, aside from the fact that he's said he'd prefer to remain in Seattle, and the very widespread belief that his preferred destination is Atlanta.

Yeah, we can probably disregard the 200 or so Jaguars followers on Twitter he's added in the last few days...I'm sure it is just a random coincidence.

Probably not. He may well be gauging the reception he'd get, or maybe he's already decided that he wants to go to Jacksonville. Whatever the case may be, it's far from the "virtual lock" you're positioning it as. He's already let it be known publicly that he'd prefer to stay in Seattle, and privately that he wants to go to Atlanta. Maybe the Jaguars can overcome all of that, or maybe he becomes just another free agent flirtation whose price was driven too high by a team willing to far outspend his value.

That doesn't mean he won't go to ATL, especially after all the reports stating how that's where he'd go if Seattle let him go. That was just regarding a guy in ATL who got shot that was famous.

The Falcons are reported to be hot for Danny Trevathan. I'd be happy to settle for Irvin.

I have a good friend from Detroit that is in the NFL. He says the same thing. He also said that all of his local friends would constantly be at his place mooching off him, so playing somewhere away from home is better.
