Quote:You can't make people trade with you to help you make your team better.  The 2013 was an overall weak draft class.  What team was going to trade up to the second slot and for who?

 

Believe it or not Offensive Linemen are safe investments in the first round.  It is very rare that they aren't serviceable as guards or backups.  The skill positions and defensive players are boom bust prospects.
 

Miami traded up to the #3 slot. I see no reason they wouldn't have made the same offer for the Jags #2 pick. I think Miami's pick plus an additional 2nd would have been more than acceptable in that scenario.


 

I understand that OL are safe 1st round picks. But Caldwell used a first round pick to replace a young guy who was 1) the best young player on the Jags and 2) as good as the guy we picked. Essentially Caldwell traded the #2 overall pick in the 2013 draft for 3rd and 5th round picks in 2014. I'd much rather have a mid 1st round pick and a mid second round pick vs. two future picks.


 

If you want to claim that the 2014 draft was so much better that we came out ahead, Caldwell could have easily found a team willing to trade several much higher 2014 picks directly for the Joeckel pick in that case.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
