Quote:Crabtree

What's the fascination so many people have with Crabtree? He's basically a slower, less-explosive Blackmon.

 

Quote:Why Chris Harris? It would be easier to just re-sign Alan Ball, who already knows the system and played well for us.

Because Chris Harris could wipe the floor with Alan Ball. Ball's not bad, but Harris has proven himself to be one of the best young corners in the game. I'm not sure he fits the Bradley prototype, though.

 

Quote:Rob Housler

There's an interesting under-the-radar signing for you. If the price is right, we could do a lot worse.

 

Quote:I'm wondering about Julius Thomas, but I'd like to see some evidence that he's not useless as a blocker.


 

The one guy I really want but don't hear anybody else saying is Darrelle Revis.


 

And for an ideal backup qb... get Jake Locker. He'll be able to stay healthy sitting on the bench, and can excel in clutch situations when he's needed.

Thomas is, imo, a product of the system and Peyton Manning. Put him in an offense that requires the tight end to block (like ours) and he's now an underutilized pass catcher and an utterly useless run blocker. I'd pass.

 

Revis has still got it, but isn't he pushing 30? Lots of corners fall off fast around that age, and I'd hate for the Jaguars to be the team that gives Revis a huge contract only to see him fall apart a year in.

 

Locker, meh. I don't think he's an upgrade over Henne. If Sam Bradford hits free agency and doesn't get a starting offer (which is a likely scenario, imo), I'd be all over him as a backup.
