I'm not sure why everyone is so down on Baalke.  Maybe his drafting abilities are something to argue.  But his overall ability to build a roster seems pretty solid...  We have talent at every level.  

Hell, Darius Williams was another great free agent signing.  And these guys are trying to throw cold water on it?

Free agents aren't how you sustain success, especially when they can't even play well the position you thought you were signing them to play. Baalke is going to screw this up, it's just a matter of time.

ok he has had 3 drafts.  one with Urban as a partner and 2 with Doug.

Timeline
2020, Baalke was promoted to interim general manager
Retained as general manager after the season.
2021 re vamps Jaguars scouting department.
Many long tenured scouts replaced.

With Urban as a partner 2021
Drafted 9 players 6 currently on our roster
Free agent class of 8 players 4 currently on our roster

With Doug as a partner 2022
Drafted 6 players 5 currently on our roster
Free agent class of 11 players 7 currently on our roster (includes Key who we let walk)

With Doug as a partner 2023
Drafted 13 players 9 currently on our roster (includes Miller/Tugboat who are on IR)
Free agent class of 9 players 5 currently on our roster


The team won the division last year and are 6-2 so far this year.
Since they are selecting humans all GM's miss and screw up time to time.
Maybe he will mess up next year??
He gets lucky a lot...lol
