Grade Day 2

#18

Grade? Still not a clue! but here's my ten pence to add to the discussion.

Interesting evening by the sounds of it  Wink ... 

Were they the players (or in Bigsbys case the position) id have likely targetted, in all honesty probably not, but it's also fair to note that the jaguars scouting department have seen far more college football than I'll ever watch, so you would expect the FO and coaching staff have a clear vision of how they want them to fit into our system especially the tight end. Looking into the various scouting reports on the two boys again there are no huge negatives and (a little bit like Harrison) they seems to be, if not the finished article, at least a good amount of potential with both players! Whether you draft on potential is a matter for debate which may end up in the realms of the Tebow thread or BAP vs Needs  Big Grin

Rightly or wrongly Baalke is likely to be judged far more on day two than on day one on some of the players he passed on. I felt his hands were tied with Harrison, but when you look at the prospects drafted after #56 or even slightly before and were in range for a trade up for there were certainly a number who could have had a case argued for... 

Torrance however, does have the feel of the guy whom may end up being used as the stick used to beat! Again, very possibly unfairly, but passing on Torrance does have a similar feeling to passing on Jamare Salyer. I've said it before but as guilty as we are on this board is for some shocking takes at times, when it generally coalesces behind a pick it isnt usually too far off the mark!

The really interesting thing for me is the stockpiling of late round picks. I'll wait till the day three thread gets going properly to debate but 10 selections after the third round seems a huge amount. You can put me in the queue of folk who were surprised we didn't use some of it on day two so i'd be really interested to know what the plan is for those picks is... be it trying to win with volume of picks, be it trade ups, or veteran player trades. To give it some context, ESPN have Baalke on record as having draftable grades on 127 players. We have pick #127 and 8 further picks after that. If we don't have a strategy for those late rounders there's the potential for wasting a lot of capital!
