The only WR that has been worth a top 10 pick from Alabama in the last decade is Julio Jones.  I like Williams but to draft him in the 1st where we pick will be a huge reach for need imo.  Williams isn't better than , Ridley, Cooper , Smith, Juedy, or Waddle imo.  With our 2nd pick then it would be great value.

People are really sleeping on David Bell imo.  Hopefully he falls to our 2nd pick

Your reasoning makes no sense. J.T. Barrett and Dwayne Haskins were ahead of Joe Burrow at Ohio State. He transferred to LSU were he thrived. Because he couldn't beat out Barrett or Haskins, do you think that makes them better QB's than Burrow? Barrett and Haskins have been hot garbage in the NFL and Burrow looks like a future star. Looking at how they are performing, Williams looks slightly better than Olave and Garrett and that is saying something. All three will almost certainly be first round selections. 

Imo, Jameson Williams is not better than Julio Jones or Amari Cooper, but he's better than Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy, Jalen Waddle and the jury is still out on if he is better than DeVonta Smith. It could go either way. 

Bell is a very good WR. If he had a better QB at Purdue, he'd be a first round WR, but I expect him to fall to the 2nd round. Who ever gets him will get a steal.

Bell, Olave, Wilson, Williams, or London.  After those 5 there's a drop off imo.  If we don't get a number 1 in FA I want 2 of those guys.  Double dip early at WR like we did in 2014.  We could of had Adams and Robinson although I did really want Lee he just couldn't stay healthy

We might be able to steal London in the 2nd or 3rd being his injury

Olave, Wilson, Williams and London are virtual locks for the first round, even with London's injury. Of the guys you mentioned, Bell is the only guy who has a shot at being there with our 2nd round pick and if he runs well, he might go higher as well.

1. Thibodeaux (by a wide margin)

2. Hutchinson (very safe with high ceiling at position of need)

3.Ekwanu (can play tackle or guard and he has traits to eventually be dominant)

4. Garrett Wilson (slight edge over Williams and Olave, still would prefer to take receiver in round 2)

5. Derek Stingley (only if his physical is o.k.)

If Thibodeaux isn't on the board, my preference would be a trade back. That opportunity will only happen if the Jaguars pick in the top 5. As bad as they look, wins against Atlanta, Houston and the Jets are possible.


Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on this Board. I am thankful for having this Board as an outlet for my thoughts about the Jaguars. Never has the saying "Misery loves company" been more appropriate!

I don't really have a prioritized list yet. It's still way too early for me.
