Quote:Jason La Canfora from CBS Sports spoke with an unidentified NFL talent evaluator who says there are 5 can't miss prospects in the draft. Basically there are these 5 guys, and then there is everyone else. Here is the list:

1. Leonard Williams

2. Dante Fowler

3. Shane Ray

4. Kevin White

5. Amari Cooper

He said there is a huge dropoff after that. I'm not sure how many players I would say are can't miss prospects, but if this guy is accurate the Jaguars are in a good position this draft. He said after the first 5 there are some tiers, but not a whole lot of difference going into the second round. He also put a premium on pass rushers due to offense generally being ahead of defense in the NFL (which I don't see applying to the Jaguars).

Many would be surprised to see Ray in the top 5, but I'm not really surprised (though the foot is a concern).

Quote:Wow... I can see 3 of those guys being busts. Ray, Fowler and White. I think Williams and Cooper are the 2 best prospects in this draft.

just goes to show you the disparity in prospect evaluations far extends the reach of just our message board.

just like KY is in love with beasley and teddy

there are other guys here that love shane ray or fowler

same thing with nfl talent scouts.

Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."
