Musings borne of football withdrawal between doses of cold medicine...

1.  Even though he is less experienced than Henne when he arrived here, somehow I am far more confident in this team's fortunes should Kessler get extended play than I was with Henne by the timehe left.

2.  While ASJ brings more youth, speed and athleticism than former Jaguars TE Marcedes Lewis,  somehow I get the sense the TE position won't be a source of confidence for Jaguars fans...at least for half the season.

3.  I want to see much more of Tim Cook behind our OL now that Ivory is gone.  I belive he can help the running game retain its power spelling Fournette.

4.  I like the Chark pick at 61, and I have stated he isn't Julio Jones, nor does he have to be for his pick to be a good one.  He just needs to make enough deep plays to give teams pause about putting that 8th guy in the box.  But as I look back to last year, I remember drops of catchable passes cost this team the Jets and 2nd tacks game.  With that unpleasant trip down memory lane finished, I amend this analysis to reflect the needfor him and all of our receivers, to be beter making the routine , catchable passes.

5.  I sure hope Taven Bryan flashes enough disruption and pass rush ability to not only effectively spell Campbell and Jackson, but to give the team and fans confidence in the inevitable DL succession.  I don't want to see Campbell, Jackson, or Dareus cut, but at least some of their cap departures seem inevitable.  But if they must go, I want the team's decisions to be confident, decisive andultimately wise.

6.  Continuing on the DL, I still believe, if possible, Fowler should be retained beyond this year.  But I like the idea of Fowler in a contract year opposite Ngakoue.

7.  The next few days, I am making a point to study Harrison in coverage.  After Dareus arrived, the one weakness this team showed were against deep passes over the middle.  Given the experience of Church and Gipson, that shouldn't happen.
