It's a message board for everyone to have different positions and would be quite boring if they were all of the same. The fault is where you claimed he wasn't exceptional and by any notable metric that's simply not true. By your own metrics chosen to prove this (Passer Rating/INTs) he's better or equal to the others you claim are better. The logic doesn't track here for your argument. You might not be wrong over time - anything can happen, but you are objectively wrong on "Not excellent by any stretch" and I would wager that's only based on you wanting your original opinion on him to be right and not data/games as that says otherwise. 

No big deal the point of my OP was I hoped the Jags invested early as the good ones tend to be chosen early. The exceptional CBs (Wiggins/Cooper/Mitchell) prove this IMO

Yeah, I had 2 corners at the top of my board as you had one at the top of yours.  Although BTJ was on my short list of guys I wanted us to get who I felt would be there.  I'm also glad we got BTJ instead of Mitchell and DeJean though even though both look great.  You still wish we drafted Wiggins instead of BTJ?  Have to give Trevor BTJ, that's more important than any corner right now.  As much as I liked Mitchell and DeJean i think Hunter and Will Johnson if healthy are a better prospects. Do you think Wiggins and is a better corner prospect than Johnson or Hunter?

I love the BTJ addition vs a CB. Glad it worked out the way it did in the 1st round that guy is a stud. 

I don't think he's a better prospect than Hunter. I do think he's slightly better than Johnson. Comparing traits, I would give the edge to Wiggins in terms of speed and more importantly better change of direction. His ability to mirror WRs is superior IMO. Johnson has a better frame and ball skills. Wiggins closet RAS comps coming out were Champ Bailey and DRC and in terms of speed/fluidness at 6'1 1/2 you can count on one hand how many are in that elite tier of speed and fluidness at 6/1 1/2. 

Johnson certainly has traits that are superior to Wiggins in different areas I realize my opinion will be in the minority but Wiggins couple of traits he's elite at are about as good as it gets. That's how he has the best completion percentage in the entire NFL while being the youngest CB in the NFL and not having much experience playing the position relatively. Time will tell of course on Hunter/Johnson vs Nate. I hope the Jags get Travis Hunter
