Havent been a fan of our two picks so far in day 3.

It's a sixth round pick.  On a roster this good, odds are that ANY pick in the 6th round doesn't make the roster, and best case scenario, winds up on the practice squad.  This isn't a guy they're expecting to come in and compete for a starting role, or even to be the backup QB.  Because his former offensive coordinator is on the staff, the team had some additional insight into his potential with time to develop.  There's nothing wrong with having a guy you can develop.  It certainly isn't a wasted pick.

We say he sucks because his stats sucked, but a lot might have played into that.

Watch him on tape. He has a strong, impressive arm with tons of poise in the pocket. Now you don't want him scrambling, but he's got that ability to feel and side-step pressure, and his mechanics appear solid. He also has the size and looks the part.

He's probably third string this year, and we probably don't even need to get a good look at him until mid-season 2019 at the earliest if we're not winning games. I was calling for Luke Falk who the tacks got, but he doesn't have anywhere near the arm strength of Tanner Lee. Let's just see if our staff can work with the guy. They picked him over several other QBs for a reason. 

I think his most likely trajectory lands him on the practice squad.  The team doesn't need to carry 3 QBs on the active roster.

Legit question, not trying to stand up for him, just wondering.

His comp% is terrible.  And his TD/INT ratio is terrible.  Also, he is very immobile.  It's a very peculiar selection.

It's not a peculiar selection at all when you listen to Coughlin's comments on the pick.

Eric Price our offensive assistant coach was the offensive coordinator at Tulane when Lee was there and it sounds like they relied heavily on his opinion.

They need to fire him.

Solid take as always.  You're like an encyclopedia of football knowledge.

He's not here to replace Blake.

No kidding.  6'4" - 220 pounds -- strong arm.  bad college coaching.

heck, it's worth a shot.

The armchair message board GMs know they could have found Tom Brady with this pick, and Coughlin went and screwed it up.  The guy is clearly clueless when it comes to making personnel decisions, right?

Complaining about a 6th round pick is par for the course with the drama queen segment of the Jaguars fan base.  The chances of a late round pick actually making the roster with the current team is slim to none, so they've picked a guy who has the potential to wind up on the practice squad developing his skills and working with NFL coaches/players.  This is definitely something we should complain loudly about.
