Quote:I think it will reveal that while we are committed to growing this team via the draft, that perhaps we should have made better use of f/a's in critical positions (aka-offensive line) until our rookies were 'up to speed'. Among other words, if we couldn't 'stomach' the kind of losing seasons we've been experiencing as a result of being so rookie heavy, then we should have been making better use of f/a's before now. As a result, it's possible that the Jags may be agreeing to some of the biggest contracts in the history of the NFL to get the help needed here.

 

I just hope we get what we're paying for when we do pull out the checkbook. 

I view this differently.

 

The one message that has never waivered is build through the draft.

Establish a core and then suppliment with FA. It is time to suppliment.

 

With the Roster nuked in year 1, the build through the draft began.

FA was used judiciously to stop gap but not staunch the bleeding.

We drafted again.

Now that a foundation of sorts is solidifying for the future, it

is time to be active in FA.

 

Homework done, I can't see Caldwell and Co pursuing players with culture values

that don't align with what is building here in JAX.
