The hometown angle on Mac is a wash. Outside of his own family, is there anyone who would rather have him than TL? IMHO, Wilson is the only one who approaches TL's total package, and he's not as tried and true. 

I don't know. It's just my impression Vic would love to see Jacksonville trade away TL only for him to achieve greatness with some other team. Then Vic could criticize us for passing on the QB of the century.

well he came clean in today's column, and it sounds like he sees the appeal more to CAR darfting TL than us getting Mac.

I get that he believes that CAR would probably overpay for the privelege, especially considering the hometown/nearby market appeal, but just because this class is deep and he thinks that good QBs are yet to come in future years, I can't see passing on the top QB of this class. We would likely have to trade away at least two of the firsts we would get in that deal even to get one of the top 4 QB, wince CAR is so low in the order.

Cripes, NYJ have 4 firsts over the next two darfts and I dunno that I would take the same offer from them, and that trade guarantees us anyone other than TLaw, likely. Wilson might be good, but eventually you end up with a saturation of picks. He's right that when you are cap strapped the draft is how you mend your fence, but the Jags are not cap strapped, and frankly the franchise doesn't have the luxury of patience. You can wheel and deal like that if you have "the man" in place. We first have to get the man. I don't like waiting till 8 to try.
