Quote:Caldwell's focus of draft now becoming a little more clear.  Not sure he is in love with any of the top QB's at #3, and not sure he wants the risk of Clowney busting.  If his buddies from Atlanta call him to trade up for Clowney, Caldwell won't hesitate to move down.  He is almost still guaranteed to get DE Mack, WR Watkins or one of the top 3 QB's at #6, AND an extra pick early in round 2, where several interior line starters and quality WR's can be found.  Unfortunately, Jag fans may still have to watch Henne start, and maybe even see Gabbert in teal one more year, but the building blocks and core will be looking a lot better.

 

1. HOU - QB B. Bortles

2. STL - OT G. Robinson

3. ATL - DE J. Clowney (from JAC)

4. CLE - QB T. Bridgewater

5. OAK - OT J. Matthews

6. JAC - DE K. Mack (from ATL) - The defensive playmaker/passrusher Jags need desperately

7. TAM - WR S. Watkins

8. MIN - QB J. Manziel

9. BUF - OLB A. Barr

10. DET - CB D. Dennard

11. TEN - WR M. Evans

12. NYG - OT T. Lewan

13. STL - CB J. Gilbert

14. CHI - DT A. Donald

15. PIT - S H. Clinton-Dix

16. DAL - DT T. Jernigan

17. BAL - LB C.J. Mosley

18. NYJ - WR M. Lee

19. MIA - OT Z. Martin

20. ARI - OLB D. Ford

21. G.B.- TE E. Ebron

22. PHI - S C. Pryor

23. K.C.- WR O. Beckham Jr

24. CIN - OLB R. Shazier

25. S.D. - CB J. Verrett

26. CLE - WR K. Benjamin

27. N.O. - WR B. Cooks

28. CAR - OT C. Kouandjio

29. N.E. - TE J. Amaro

30. S.F. - NT L. Nix

31. DEN - DE K. Ealy

32. SEA - DT R. Hageman

 

Rnd 2 - WR Allen Robinson, Penn St (Caldwell does not hesitate to find starting WR due to questions on Blackmon)

Rnd 2 - OG David Yankey, Stanford (starter at LOG beside Joeckel for next decade

Rnd 3 - OC Travis Swanson, Arkansas (dropped slightly, will be a steal here and a quality starter at Center)

Rnd 4 - RB Leche Seastrunk, Baylor (starter from day 1, rotates with Todman)

Rnd4 - QB Z. Mettenberger, LSU or A. Murray, UGA (finally a QB, but could sit out most of year and develop)

Remaining picks - Defensive depth

 

Free Agency:  Sign a starting OG and starting DE

I like the trade and taking Mack in the 1st. Also like Yankey in the 2nd and Swanson in the 3rd. However, I'd take the best q.b. available in the 2nd round- either

McCarron or Garrapalo. Instead of Robinson in the 2nd, I'd take a receiver in the 4th as it's a very deep position and, as a Penn State fan, I have a feeling Robinson will be a bust in the pros. He was a great college receiver who was a mismatch against most cornerbacks, but he runs lazy routes which will hurt him in the pros.
