It's not much of a "gambit", just Shad signing off an a multi-year build from scratch not often seen in the modern NFL.  He knows Jacksonville is hungry for a winner.  I'm sure he feels the same way most fans do.  Shad has shown patience with Dave & Gus, and the fans have shown a lot of patience, too.  There's a lot to be said about doing things right and not taking shortcuts. 

 

Dave make a safe pick in his first draft, stunned most people in his second draft by keeping quiet about his interest in Bortles, and I think he will stay fairly safe at #3 this draft.  I think if Gus believes any of the top pass rushers are a perfect fit for his system, then that's who Dave will take.  A disruptive edge rusher would give this D a different flavor.  It's a good year for it, there are several interesting prospects, and I trust Gus to ID the right guy.  There's always a risk in taking a pass rusher high.  This is a key pick for this regime.
