Quote:These are the players that IN MY OPINION we should take IF we stay at each pick. Players are reasonably expected to be available at each pick. 

 

 

 

pick 3. Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Lousiville

 

Teddy will provide Jacksonville with quality QB play for the next decade. True franchise guy 

 

 

pick 39. Troy Niklas, TE, Notre Dame

 

Underutilized, but talented TE who is a good blocker, great size, and better receiver than people think. Steal of draft. Will blossom into TE in the mold of Jason Witten 

 

 

pick 70. Pierre Desir, CB, Lindenwood

 

Will provide the Jags with a ball hawk threat in the secondary that they haven't seen since Rashean Mathis. Good size for the position as well. 

 

 

pick 105. Terrence West, RB, Towson

 

Will be a solid backup to Gerhart, and potential heir-apparent. Big, (230 lbs) and very productive. 

 

 

pick 114. Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia

 

Solid backup and developmental prospect and insurance against Bridgewater injury. 

 

 

pick 144. Larry Webster, DE, Bloomsburg

 

Great size/ speed combo, raw, will have to add some weight, but productive. Worth a pick at this point.

 

 

pick 150. Brandon Thomas, OT, OL, Clemson (will fall because of ACL)

 

Great value here. Would have been a 2nd or 3rd rounder pre ACL. Could be RT of the future. 

 

 

pick 159. Spencer Long, OG, Nebraska

 

Addresses the need for the G position/ depth. 

 

 

pick 179. Jeff Janis, WR, Saginaw Valley St. 

 

Good size & speed combo. Productive. Small school prospect. But talented. Wow, this draft is deep at WR if you're able to get a potential good WR like this, this late. 

 

 

pick 205. Isaiah Lewis, S, Michigan St. 

 

Solid depth, nothing more

 

 

pick 222. Tyler Larsen, C, Utah St. 

 

Shot in the dark here, would give Brewster some competition. 

 

 

3.....I am fond of Bridgewater...but I'd be surprised if he were the pick here.

 

39.  Notre Dame has a long history of producing great TEs.  Somehow I think if TE were the pick, there would be a better candidate available.  However, Caldwell indicates he expects/hopes 4-5 starters to come out of this draft.  I think if the 2nd round pick is going to be a skill player, it'll be a WR.

 

70, 105 & 144-I don't know if I see Caldwell going small school on that many picks mid round.

 

I would be happy with a Brandon Thomas selection, with the one caveat that I'd rather take him only after we've taken a healthy G first.
