It's really a shame the Jags haven't taken advantage of the rookie wage scale by drafting home runs in the 1st round. Having picks so high and not having to pay them $50-$70 million contracts provides such a potential advantage, but so far, for a variety of reasons, the team hasn't made good on it. Look at the Lions hitting on Stafford, CJ and Suh - all good to great picks, but all with cap hits over $20 million. I don't think they can keep them all despite doing everything right in taking them. The Jags wouldn't face that quandry.

 

Hopefully next season Blackmon can return and be productive, and Luke and Blake take big steps. There's still hope. But it would be a huge advantage wasted if things don't turn out well.
