What's up guys. I just had an interesting idea, and since I'm at school doing nothing (with senioritis taking firm hold) I'll make a post about it here.

 

At the season ticket holders' meeting, Caldwell stated that, in addition to their being fairly high grades on their board, the defensive backfield was majorly renovated last year because they took more time to gel together. We saw that principle last season, with lackluster play at the start and pretty excellent performance at the end.

 

I find it particularly interesting that, even with high second and third round picks, the management wasn't afraid to make an investment on players who will reach their potential in the future (AKA when they gel together) as opposed to a position with immediate impact (Running back, for example).

 

So, fast foward to this year's draft. What does this strategy tell us, if anything? Of course, we're assuming that last year's draft is the start of a pattern (cause if it's not, all speculation is pointless). In my opinion, it tells us that the regime is not opposed to spending premium picks on positions that may take a little development, whether individually or as a group.

 

Now here's the kicker. What have Dave and Gus said all through the process about this class of quarterbacks? That they will most likely need some time on the bench. I believe that last year's draft strategy, in addition to this year's comments, could suggest a high likelihood of taking a quarterback early, with the intention of benching him while he learns, and then letting him loose when he's ready.

 

Let me note that I personally will be happy and excited with whomever we choose, except a tackle.

 

Also, of course, one could point out the fact that the three positions we're considering (QBs, WRs, and Pass Rushers) all take time to develop. Fair point. One could also quote the article that says Bradley wants an immediate impact player. Also true.

 

So, basically, what I'm saying is that I don't have a clue what they're gonna do, but it's an exciting draft, and a great time to be a Jaguar.
