I believe that's good that the Jags won yesterday. As far as draft position goes, they were only going to draft so high anyway. The Bengals are more than likely going to get the first pick in the draft. Teams like the Redskins/Dolphins/Lions are probably going to draft higher than the Jags. And probably would have done so, even if the Jags had lost yesterday day/lost out.

Granted, if you believe that losing out really is the best thing you could make the argument that yesterday's win may have "hurt" the Jags drafting situation, against the bad teams that have been surging a bit as of late. But even taking that into consideration, (and the Jags poor play over the last several games prior to yesterday,) the Jags still had a better shot of winning more games down this final stretch than those teams too.

I believe that players in general don't want to tank. Some of them will fight at some point/and at least to some degree to win. And someone's bad situation is still better than others. Plus, some bad teams have tougher match ups these last few games. (Like the Cardinals) Jags had/have a better chance of winning more than those teams as well.

I'm glad the Jags won. That type of thing helps with morale and it's good to see Minshew learn how to win in different situations. Him getting another come from behind win is good, especially in an environment that was a hostile as it was at the Oakland Coliseum yesterday. That type of experience is important. Regardless of what his role on this team may end up being longer term (Starter or backup). A team needs a QB that can get you wins, especially in tough situations/environments.
