Quote:I could live with that, although I think we'd wind up continuing to look for a QB in 2015.  I don't think Garoppolo is the answer.  I don't see Aaron Murray being taken in your first three rounds.  I'd almost prefer he wind up the pick in a scenario where we're waiting until the 3rd to grab a guy.

 

Tim,  thanks for your input.

 

I'm far from certain Jimmy Garoppolo is the answer.   Yet,  at the very least,   I think Garoppolo is someone who projects as a QB who can help hold the fort if the starter is out.    While a case can be made that the Jaguars can get better value in Round 3 than taking a QB who might not be the answer as a starter,   the premium on QB's is so great that I think Dave Caldwell would at least be very tempted to take him in that spot.     Knowing that Garoppolo should provide good low cost value for at least 4 seasons.   

 

Aaron Murray would have made my 4th Round.   If the Jaguars or another team took Murray instead of Garoppolo or AJ. McCarron,   it wouldn't surprise me in the least.    All 3 QB's have very good intangibles.   Each probably will go somewhere in Rounds 2, 3, and 4.    My # 1 concern with Murray is his size.    The fact that Murray is coming off a major injury reinforces my concern that he will be able to hold up physically on the NFL level.
