But you're going to tell me getting rid of Yan had nothing to do with poor draft decisions and the team having the worst record in the league for two years running?!?

Seriously?!?

I'm talking about Walker, Dave drafted for need, that was his problem.  That will get one fired every time.  Dave was a bad drafter before he traded Yawn

So you know for certain that a guy who had all of what, 9 sacks in his college career, played relatively few snaps, more as a 5 tech,for an absolutely loaded Georgia defense is the opposite?!?  You know for certain he will be productive as a run stopper AND a pass rusher more productive than Yan?  You think he'll have at least 8 sacks his rookie year and more than 20 sacks after two seasons and be better against the run?  I hope like hell you are right, but you are going against 27 years of Jaguars history to be right.

How do you quantify his play against the run, anyway?  In theory, as the strong side OLB, he will typically go up against TEs as opposed to tackles assuming both offense and defense are in base personnel...RTs as opposed to LTs.  How do you adjust for that?  A guy who gets 3-4 sacks and no forced fumbles and is stronger against the run doesn't count as being more balanced/better than Yan, because he's not making the impact.
