Quote:See, I go back one step to examine the premature decline of the Jaguars.

 

I submit draft failures, and not the free agency expenditures, resulted in the collapse.

 

But for the Brian DeMarco miss, it's unlikely the team would have signed Leon Searcy.

 

Were it not for the Brian Schwartz miss, the team would not have spent on Nickerson.

 

Had Chris Hudson developed into a good free safety, there would be no need for the Carnell Lake signing.

 

Bryce Paup would not have been a factor had the team hit on Hamilton in 1997.

 

Heck, if you look at our team now, we have, what, two projected starters at this point that the Jaguars actually drafted on defense (Cyprien and Gratz). 

 

Had we done better in the draft, we wouldn't be bringing in all of these guys now. 

 

Blame the drafts, not the free agency.
