Quote:He did. 

 

I'm probably being paranoid here, but as said....this is the Jags organization were talking about here.....we need nothing that could potentially sway their opinions away from Teddy....

 

Caldwell isn't Gene Smith.  Gene Smith loved trading away future picks for the 'now'.  Even when we weren't ready to be competitive.  In his first year he traded a future 2nd for a third.  In his third year he traded up to pick Blaine Gabbert.  In his last year we traded up to get Blackmon.  

 

The man fell in love with players.  Gabbert.  Alualu.  He was afraid of losing them.  If he thought they wouldn't fall to him, he had to move up and get them.  He'd overdraft them.  

 

That's not Caldwell.  He has yet to exhibit being enamored by a player.  He has yet to exhibit signs of player-loss fear.
