“Previously undisclosed”

The issue with drafting Jerry would be the past history involving the Jaguars selecting players with pre-existing injury conditions. So often we've heard we got a steal because a college player has first round talent, but fell in the draft due to a injury red flag.

The Jaguars really can no longer ignore the red flag thrown at injured college talent. I hope we stick to just players are are 100% healthy AND don't select those who carry a Hx of injuries present and prior. No matter what position we are drafting in whatever round, we can't throw away a pick on a player that will not produce because of a lack of health.

I can't think of a time when it's worked out in free agency OR the NFL College Draft, can you?

Tend to agree but you never know what the truth is, especially where we can't look at a guy in person this year. I remember when the Jags drafted a guy out of Missouri I think, a DE named Smith maybe who had hip issues (ring a bell, Tua?). He never did much, if anything, for the Jags...wasted pick.

Edit- 4th round pick in 2007 Brian Smith of Mizzou. Broken hip in senior year. Duh.

From Wiki: Smith was drafted in the 4th round on the 2007 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was placed on the PUP list during this rookie year. He was waived in June 2008, never playing a down for the Jaguars.[1]
