My only draft assumptions this year are that:

 

- Caldwell will find a few good players and

 

- we won't have to start so many of them right away thanks to cap space/free agency - and the number of rookies from last year's draft that will be second year starters. 

 

-------------------------------

 

No, I don't expect them to select a RB before the 4th round, and yes I think a pass rusher is likely if we stay at #3. I've stated my case several times about first round RBs.  They are becoming extinct and for good reason.  There will always be an exception to the rule here and there, but the amount of production being found from mid and late round RBs league-wide can't be ignored. 

 

Spending a first or second round pick on a RB has become more of a luxury IMO, and one that the Jags can't yet afford. Maybe next year.
