Pretty much. I lost a lot of faith when they retained Warhop and starting saying how good our OT's were.
I understand you don't have much faith in the Jaguars' FO/coaching staff, and it makes some sense the mock would reflect that. But there are teams that have had horrible offseasons-even worse than ours. Philadelphia has been stuck on stupid since the end of last season. Bears fans seem to hate their whole power structure-FO, coaches and now QB. Houston's dumpster fire has its roots in the O'Brien era, and has had a big can of gasoline added to it by Watson's off field trade demands and legal issues. Oakland has systematically dismantled their OL. Do you have faith in their decision makers? If so, why? If not, is your lack of faith reflected in the picks for those-and other -teams?
Quote:I don't see the Colts trading back, due to the lack of LT prospects in this draft. I know they like to trade back, but losing a starting LT is huge. Especially when you just traded for a young QB. If we've learned anything about Wentz, it's that he needs a clean pocket. I don't see that happening with the LT's they currently have on the roster. I really thought they might've taken a run at Riley Reiff. If they trade back any further, I don't see any LT prospects that could start right away.
I definitely put Cox inside. I'm a HUGE Jabril Cox fan. I could see him easily outplaying Joe Schobert and even Myles Jack. I could see him making Schobert expendable by the end of the 2021 season. That's when there is a potential out in his contract. Cox is my #2 ILB behind Zaven Collins. Collins is my #1 LB period, no matter the scheme or where you play him.
I could see them trading back and still getting a guy like Cosmi or Eichenberg, though you have Eichenberg going to them at 21.
As for Collins, he considers himself to be an OLB, though i think he has the versatility to play inside.

He and Washington would be super fun together in a year or two. And to fix your ILB depth I'll take Hilliard with the 7th rounder I left blank.
I think Spencer Brown is a plug and play RT. Imo, Dante Smith is more of a project at LT. If you have Molden as a Safety, then you have us taking 2 Safeties with Ardarius Washington. Again, that seems like overkill imo, considering we do already have Wilson, Jenkins and Thomas.
Hilliard is a bit smallish and slow for a 3-4 scheme. He's barely 6' and only 229 lbs. with 4.8/40 speed and he ran the 3 cone in the same time the OSU NT did (Togiai.) I like my linebackers a little bigger and definitely more athletic.
I am not a fan of Wilson at all. He was decent in his limited time a couple of years back, but I have since soured on him. Agreed about the size and speed of 3-4 LBs.
Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
