Quote:No doubt that Bortles development is key. 

 

I have a good feeling about this years Jags draft. Not that thats a surprise to anyone who's been reading...but I think theres a chance we'll be looking back at that draft in the future as in company of some of the ones that elevated the Bills, 80's Niners, Buddys Eagles, Gibbs Redskins, etc etc

 

Not only do I see almost every draft choice from this draft being an impact player, (pending health), I also see at least FOUR UDFA's from this year becoming impact players: 

 

CB Rashad Reynolds

S Craig Loston

RB Terrence Cobb

TE Marcel Jensen

 

and even an outside shot for one of:  Copeland or the MIami WR.  

 

I can see three-five  UDFAs making the team.

 

I think Cobb will have a tough time though, as will Reynolds, due to the players there.

 

I think there is realistically one RB spot available.  Robinson makes the team, but I see Todman getting cut.  Right now, I'm thinking Storm Johnson makes the squad.

 

Reynolds will have to beat out Blackmon and/or Ball to make the team.

 

I can also see the DT out of Cal possibly making it.

 

I like Copeland, but all of the WRs outside of the top 4 (Lee Shorts, Robinson and Sanders) are competing for one, two spots tops.

 

I like this draft class-including the UDFAs-but I don't know yet if Jacksonville has all of those future Pro Bowlers/HOF guys that Dallas had at that stage.

 

They have an easier divisional schedule, and they have the advantage of free agency that Dallas didn't have.

 

Again though, I think the ascent of the team this year is tied to the offensive line, but from late this year on out, it's tied to Bortles' development.
