To see him start before then would exceed all reasonable expectations under the circumstances.

Now if he DOES and performs up to it, I will be thrilled beyond measure.

But I think they bring him along slowly, and I think it'll take a bad game or two from one of the starters to bring him off the bench.

While I wouldn't have drafted him due to lack of recent game film on the guy, that does not mean I want him to fail. I hope he is a great player. I just don't know, because of a lack of information, but I want desperately for him to succeed. I just want him to be good. He doesn't have to be Tony Boselli, but if he can just be reliable, that would be a huge upgrade. If he beats either incumbent starter, I will be elated!

So that means he will probably be a starter by no later than week 3.

Understandable take and pretty much agreed, though I would have drafted him, especially if I had missed out on T earlier.  In fact, I would not have objected to Jenkins at 25 or 33 and Little at 45.

But even with the risks associated with drafting him, he's here and I welcome him, and like you desperately want him to succeed.  I think he can fall somewhere between first year Khalif Barnes and Boselli, in which case, most Jaguars fans would be quite happy.  If he could be Ben Coleman when he played LT, I'd be thrilled.

I'm not sure how long it will take for UM to reach his wit's end with the starters and bring in Little.
