So you can look it all up and not take my word for it...

We had pick 25, where we took Elite-EN. 

From pick 26 to pick 37, no O-Linemen was picked.  So 11 other teams, after us skipped on picking a lineman.  Pick 37 was the Eagles picking up Landon Dickerson.  Turned out to be a good pick.  BUT!!!  He had just blown out his knee in the SEC Championship game that prior December!!!  It was a risky pick.  It paid off, but dude, it was not like teams were clamoring to get him. 

The next O-Lineman drafted in 2021 was at 39 to the Bears.  That guy has only taken 38 snaps this entire season.  Dudes a bench bro.  Just a guy.  Can't even get into the starting lineup.

Next up?  Liam Eichenburg at 42...  Dude's also a back up.  Terrible PFF grade and is riding the bench with only 94 snaps this season.

So guess who's next?  Walker Little at 45.  Do I need to say anymore?

Our holy mods are so wise.  Except when they aren't.

Elite-EN was a great pick up at the perfect spot in that 2021 draft.  And we still got, if not the best available Lineman outside of the top 24 picks, then the 2nd best lineman within that range of draft picks.  (24-45)

Dickerson and Jenkins are who I referred to and I also mentioned we could have traded down. 

What the hell are you blathering about?

I'm providing context.  I'm proving that we made the right pick at 25.  

We got an Elite RB in.....  Wait for it...

ELITE-EN!!!!!

(Sorry, that's the closest I can get to Jags colors on the forum editor, there's no Teal I can post, so here's the gold)

And we also got the best available Lineman that has proven his worth in Walker Little.

There's no reason to criticize the pick.  And yet you guys are trying to do so.  I'm just giving context to your criticism and showing maybe there is another way to look at the pick.  For me, I like that we got ETN and Walker Little.  The 2021 draft class for the Jaguars was legit.  There's no reason for you guys to bag on it, in my opinion.

And I provided proof for why I think I'm correct and you aren't.  So...  If you want to insult me, that's cool.  That's what you guys do.  But I provided proof and a link for others to make their own determination.  I feel that's pretty respectful and also very objective.  Instead of insulting all the time.  I like to provide back up for my reasoning...
