Do you pay $100 for something if you are the only person who wants it? Do you wait and say here is $5 as there is no demand? The Jags overpaid making it a terrible pick.

So if he turns into a Pro Bowler or worst case a starter, then would he be worth the pick? Don't get hung up on draft position. Get hung up on what he brings to the team.

But you have to because the draft. The Jags just spent more money on him for 4 years when he could have been had for league minimum. With the financial impacts, the Jags could have gotten another starter or backup in the 3rd round and paid $100. Then added Williams for $5, ending up with 2 starters or backups for $105.

Now they overpaid and have to find another player to make the roster from the UDFA pool which is highly unlikely.


It's not really about value of the player, but perceived value by other teams. If no one else knows about him, you are just ending up bidding against yourself. Same thing happened with Foles and they overpaid him without any competition.
