After One Season, Bucky Brooks Rates the Jaguars...

#66

Quote:It speaks volumes that a 7th round pick represents a draft's only "disappointment."

 

My hopes now are...

 

1.  Olson, Hackett and Co Can develop Blake Bortles into at least a good QB in this year.

 

2.  That Lee, Robinson and Hurns all pick up the new offense quickly.  Now that they've had a season to go up against NFL defenses and coverages, to learn how NFL DBs play, and how to attack coverages, hopefully it'll translate into learning the offense more quickly and more effective play.

 

3.  Linder and Bowanko can play effectively in the new blocking schemes.  Linder I'm confident can fit in almost any scheme.  Bowanko, I'm not so confident, thugh he played well last year.

 

4.  That Colvin and Smith keep doing what they did last year, only more consistently and over the course of a full year.
 

I agree with everything that you posted above and I'd like to add a little perspective to what you are stating:

 
  • If Bortles, Hurns, Lee, and Robinson all develop as you hope, then you are describing probably 75% or more of the production of the Jacksonville passing game for the next seven seasons.
  • If Linder and Bowanko develop as you hope, then you are describing 40% of the Offensive Line for the next seven seasons.
  • If Colvin and Smith develop as you hope, then you are talking about maybe 30% of the Jacksonville Pass Defense for the next seven seasons.
 

Any one of those is a good haul for an entire draft. To have all of that in one is an enormous boon for the franchise. This, if nothing else, is reason to be excited about the future.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
