So it wasn’t by design that they to go into this season with what they have.

This is from one of John Oeser’s recent pieces on the Jaguars website...


“The closest the team came to drafting one of the positions may have been tight end.

"Tight end was something we were interested in," Jaguars Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tom Coughlin said Saturday.

Coughlin said the team considered Miami tight end Christopher Herndon in Round 4, and called the New York Jets drafting him early in the round "a blow to where we were trying to line things up."

Maybe, I kinda like the Will Richardson pick better.

Me too. Is Herndon substantially better than Koyack? Or put another way, are teams going to have to adapt their schemes to cover Herndon when he’s on the field? In this TE class, maybe you could answer yes with three TEs, and they were all gone in the first two rounds.
