I wanted to bring up the idea of drafting Antonio Callaway. As a Gator fan, I have seen him make some head-turning plays, and he is an exceptional talent. Obviously, he has some off the field issues that he needs to work on but do you believe the Jags front office will take a chance on him the same way they did with Dede Westbrook? Callaway had a great combine, and he may have turned a corner maturity wise.

If Allen Robinson doesn't come back (and I hope he does), would you be ok taking him in one of the later rounds? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks and Go Jags!

First, welcome to posting! Hopefully we'll hear more from you.

I don't know too much of him, TBH. I heard Frangie on the radio the other day and the player comparison he gave was Percy Harvin.

Assuming such a comparison is accurate, such speed and explosiveness would be welcome, IMO.

But I would have some misgivings.

He strikes me as a smaller guy....a slot guy. I think we have enough guys like that. If Robinson leaves, we won't have the big, physical guy.

I am also curious as to why you think "he may have turned a corner maturity wise."

Thanks so much for your reply! Your point about the team already has too many smaller receivers is accurate. I do believe, however, having he and Westbrook on the field could be similar to how the Giants have thrived with Sterling Sheppard and Odell Beckham. Now that isn't saying our guys will be anywhere as good as those two, but their playing styles are similar.

Callaway impacted a lot of games at Florida, and I think he will thrive in the NFL, he just needs to get out of his own way when he gets off the field.

And I misphrased when I said he may have turned a corner maturity wise. I meant more along the lines of "maybe he turned a corner." Just purely speculation on my part since he had an entire year off. My mistake!
