Quote:Just having a team that is worth getting out of bed to drive to the stadium to watch will be a start. Glad they are forced to spend so much money. Will be interesting to see how Caldwell's steadfast build through the draft approach translates to forced free agency.

Then this too lol. I believe Caldwell understands that he has the ability to acquire talent in multiple ways. I am all for building through the draft and I want them to continue to do that. Poor drafting is what got this team in the situation its is in now. I think we all have learned our lesson from that. 

 

With that being said, this is a free agency period that I have never seen before. Usually the caliber of player that is available is a CJ Spiller or a Charles Clay and those are the top free agents. I have never seen players like Suh or McCourty reaching free agency. Smith, Maclin, Cobb at wideout. Thomas and Jordan at TE. Guys like Akeem Ayers (clint session level) are guys who aren't even talked about now, were in previous years; would be the ones breaking the bank. This is the year to add a top flight player or two and it would seem foolish to me if Caldwell passed on that opportunity. 

 

Sorry to go back to him but I look at Suh. I understand we have Marks and all that other jazz but this is a guy who is one of only a handful of players that change the game in a transcendent way. McCourty would morph our defensive game planing and possibly make us a top 5 defense instantly.  Even J. Thomas would give us a receiving threat we have never had in Jacksonville before. We have the rare ability to add not one but two of these types of players. 

 

Caldwell can still make draft moves and accumulate picks or take the best at three. He has the ability to change this team in a big way from multiple angles.
