If the team is fine with the medical and the work out they did with him (like they were with Myles) I feel much better about the selection. This seems to be the case so good stuff.

I really liked the Josh Oliver pick as he was in the group of TE that I really liked, I watched some film of him weeks ago after I read he visited us and liked what I saw. I probably would have gone Sternberger though and tried to double down on a TE (maybe even Oliver himself) later. I'm positive he will turn out to be really good though.

I had never watched Quincy Oliver and I would have gone safety probably or OL again.
Just saw the highlights videos and of course I can't evaluate him from that other than saying he is really explosive, hits hard but who knows what's his undersatnding of the game, coverage skills, run fits and so on.
Probably the only selection that right now looks bad based on what else was available but then if he turns out to be an hidden gem (probably the odds are against him)...kudos to the staff.
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson still on the board though...I was really hoping for that one to be our pick.

I think had we finished the 3rd round with the CG-J pick, everyone would be elated about this draft.  As it is, even with the Williams pick, most seem quite happy with the results overall.  I know I am.

A small part of me hoped to stand pat and still get Taylor, but it was worth it to get the guy we needed.  The team anticipated a run on T in the second, and they were smart to get out in front of it.

Oliver looks to be the best receiving threat we've had at TE at least since the early Marcedes Lewis days.  Lewis looked awkward at times, but when he was actually utilized in the passing game, he was a decent threat.  I am eager to see how Oliver will be utilized in the Jaguars offense.  I only hope the receivers we have can give Oliver the room to operte effectively.
