Totally get the crapping on hopes. It's kinda become a way of life for the Jags fan.

I've tried that in order to "soften the blow" when I'm ultimately disappointed in who we take. It didn't work. I was still just as angry as I would have been, had I been optimistic going into it. This year I'm just being indifferent.

I usually don't get very upset about draft picks because I don't follow college football closely enough to know what players are very good, but I do get irritated about cases of obvious need based picks or bad positional value. Examples would be taking Fournette in the top five and Etienne in the first round. Taking running backs in the first round is dumb, taking them in the top five should merit a sniper taking the GM out before he can call that pick in.
