The only issue I have with the Jaguars related stuff are the CB rankings.

But the rankings that may be most controversial to Jaguars fans are the CB rankings, where Jalen Ramsey ranks 8th overall right between Denver QBs Aqib Talib and Chris Harris, while Bouye was 15th overall.

B.  The Jaguars are picked last in the division, with Tennessee being the favorites to win the AFC South.

This particular "salve" you've quoted seems to be giving me a rash. 

Kidding aside, the rankings are pretty fair and I'm fairly confident Jackson, Ramsey and Bouye will see higher rankings next offseason.

For additional context, here are the top 20 CB rankings from Athlon's.

1. Patrick Peterson
2. Richard Sherman
3. Marcus Peters
4. Josh Norman
5. Janoris Jenkins
6. Malcolm Butler
7. Chris Harris
8. Jalen Ramsey
9. Aqib Talib
10. Xavier Rhodes
11. Brent Grimes
12. Stephon Gilmore
13. Trumaine Johnson
14. Darius Slay
15. A.J. Bouye
16. Logan Ryan
17. Jonathan Joseph
18. Domonique Rodgers-Cromartie
19. Desmond Trufant
20. Tramaine Brock.

Taking this in context both of our CBs rank higher than any other CB in the division, according to Athlon's.

The sense I have is Ramsey should be higher. I think if I were compiling this list, I might switch him with Jenkins.

As to the predictions, I can't be surprised by the last place prediction. As much as I think our talent has improved a great deal, until we prove otherwise, we should be a last place pick.
