PR for whom? He isn't employed by the Jaguars organization. He's a great follow on twitter. Normally he's the first to drop news regarding the Jags, sometimes beating the national guys to the punch.

That's his role as a beat. He doesn't break news or have insider knowledge. 

He's a good guy and all and I follow him on Twitter. Just doesn't ever give us info we don't already know. His articles are pretty generic too. 

 I'd say we have the worst situation from a beat writer stand point. We have no insiders and we have no info other than what the teams tells us. Almost every other team have much more available.

Kaye is actually more plugged in than you realize IMO.   He doesn't dangle information from anonymous sources as often as a lot of the other twitter guys and such, but he has referred to quotes from unnamed players before and mentioned "what he's heard from someone in the building." I think he gets a morsel every now and then beyond the normal channels.  
He's been pretty on point with that kind of stuff as far as I can tell. 
That said, I seriously doubt he has any inside line on draft day strategy or intentions.
I can't think of any stories or signings broken by Kaye off the top of my head.   

As I said he's a good guy and a decent twitter follow. Just his style of beat reporting is much more PR based than most. That is probably partly due to how private the Jaguars are.
