Quote:Shack was great at finding bigtime talents having landed several of the Jaguars best post-Coughlin era players. His drawback was that when you looked past those few select great players, the rest of his acquisitions tended to be complete wash-outs. I always figured him for a guy to swing for the fence as opposed to a guy who plays it safe with plenty of solid players but nobody great to speak of.

 

  The Jaguars 2nd Round selections when Shack was a key part of the organization were very impressive.    Some of those picks such as Rashean Mathis and MJD are good examples of what you expressed when looking at the positive side of the coin.

 

 One thing I've wondered about is how much better off the Jaguars would have been if there was someone on the football side of the operation at the top of the chain of command of the organization instead of having no clear cut personnel decision maker when Shack and JDR were in the organization.
