Why do I feel like I just watched a Pre-season game?

Quote:We've picked in the top 10 for what 8 years in a row. Obviously, draft position isn't working out too well for us. Much more important having the right guy make the picks. We won, enjoy it. We won with players we already have. I don't understand you people. We couldve gotten #1 last year and had Clowney, hows that working out? Shut your freakin face! I agree, it's much more important to make the right picks. I'm really glad we have Caldwell picking instead of Gene Smith. However, it doesn't hurt to have a better draft position. It's easier to make the right picks if you have higher picks. It also is easier for our opponents to end up with a lesser quality players if they have lower picks. Finally, higher picks translate to better trade value, or at least the first opportunity to trade. Look at recent events. In 2012 we beat the clots, giving them the #1 pick and Luck. Gene Smith also traded a 4th round pick to move up for Blackmon, and then drafted Anger in round 3 because we didn't have a 4th round pick. Had we lost to Indy then the trade up wouldn't have been necessary and Luck would be in St. Louis. In 2014 we beat the tinhorns twice, ceding them the #1 pick. Fortunately, they picked Clowney instead of Bortles. No matter how good Caldwell is, he can't force the teams ahead of him to make bad picks. We were just lucky that year. Also in 2014, Caldwell traded up to take Linder. Maybe had we had the 1st pick in round 4 instead of the 5th pick in round 4 then Caldwell would not have felt the need to make that trade, and we get an extra player in the 2014 draft. Just speculation, but the possibility that we lost out on another player only exists because the Jags beat the tinhorns. In 2015, maybe the tacks get Mariota or Winston. Do they get a franchise QB? Who knows. I do know that they wouldn't have the chance if the Jags had the first pick and traded it to an NFL team. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...rback-crop Imagine if Houston had taken Bortles, and that next year the tacks pick a franchise QB. We'd be in a division with three teams with franchise QBs. I prefer to watch the Jags play well and win. But at this point we're way out of contention and a loss would have been better for our future. I'd rather the tacks weren't in a position to get a franchise QB.
