Cable,

 

Love your selections.

 

My thoughts on Chris Culliver is that he could be converted to FS, since he played it at South Carolina before moving to CB. The Free Safety needs to be able to move sideline to sideline and so they need more than 4.6 speed.

 

I see you like Chris Hackett. I too am a fan, but his 40 time will be big at the Combine. If he runs in the 4.5's he could jump up to Rd 2. If he runs 4.65, he could fall to the bottom of Rd 3.

 

Regarding the LBs, the Jags need help to get younger and faster. The hole is at Otto and this is where I like Bruce Carter from the Cowboys, because he has 4.5 speed and excellent in coverage. He can also hold the edge, but more importantly he has the hands for the INT, (5 in 2014). I think he plays SLB on 1st and 2nd downs and then slides to the middle on 3rd, where the Jags put is their extra Pass Rusher from the Otto and rush 5 with 6 dropping in coverage. The key is getting pressure on the QB.

 

It looks like to me that the Giants will do whatever they can to keep JPP, even to the point of Franchising him. I think Jerry Hughes of the Bills will hit the market and would be perfect for the Leo DE, especially on 3rd downs.

 

Now would I like to get Akeem Ayers to be the 3rd down Otto Pass Rusher? Absolutely!!!

 

I like Jordan Cameron because he is a deep threat as a TE, but Rob Housler of the Cardinals is kind of a poor man's Cameron and he may come much cheaper. Both are 4.55 / 40 guys.

 

It definitely would be a dream come true for the Jags to land Gurley, but getting past Seattle may be a problem with Lynch talking about hanging it up.

 

I believe the Jags will nab either Tevin Coleman or Duke Johnson with the 2nd Rd pick.

 

If the Jags were forced to draft a LB then it would have to be in Rd 2, which is still a possibility especially if they fall in love with Paul Dawson and he is there at Pick 36.

 

Everybody seems to think that the Bucs will take Winston, but today the talk is they like Mariota, so Winston could fall right into the Jets laps at Pick 6 and the Jags may end up with Randy Gregory, which is OK with me, since I think he would be an awesome Otto LB and might become the next Clay Mathews or Von Miller. Imagine Hughes rushing from the Leo and Gregory from the Otto.

 

If Gregory is taken then the Jags may consider Carl Davis with their 2nd Rd pick or Xavier Williams with their 3rd Rd pick. With SenDerrick Marks hurt and coming off an ACL injury the Jags may need more help at the 3 Tech and the 5 Tech and Davis and Xavier Williams can both handle those positions.

 

I am hoping that Brennan Williams can contribute that way the Jags don't need to draft an ORT, but if they do and Ty Sambrailo drops like I think he will to the top of Rd 4, then he would be a nice selection to work with as an OT/OG.

 

Got a feeling that Max Valles will BLOW UP at the Combine and will need to be taken in Rd 3 if the Jags want him, which the team just might.

 

I think that D.J. Humphries will be taken in Rd 3, because he is athletic, he just needs to get stronger and more coaching. If he fell to the Jags pick in Rd 4, then he must be considered.

 

I still like Mike Wallace from the Dolphins but only if they cut him. His contract is too high at 10 Mil per year. I would favor trading a Rd 7 pick to the Dolphins to get him if he would agree to take less money in his contract and get bonus money upfront. I think 3 years for 20 Mil with 10 Million upfront, so he gets his money but the Jags get perhaps the fastest WR in the league.
