Quote:You're just making it worse for Caldwell. He kept former GM Gene Smith's scouts claiming that there wasn't time to hire new ones. The draft came around and decisions were made based on the preexistent idiom. In fact, all the in-house evaluations consisted of Gene Smith's scouting department obfuscating just how bad the paper Jaguars' roster is.


After a little more than a decade of Gene Smith we all know what his drafts look like. This last one was the same motif.


Gratz was a terrible reach that graded at least twenty points below numerous players who were available in round three. Robinson and Sanders were supposed to step in to prominent (feature) roles right away. They have not.


We obviously need a competent offensive coordinator as well.

Hang about here one our scout team is well regarded and I am sure I have read that they run drills for the majority of the league at combines


Two ripping the scout team.apart before a draft is hardly a good idea it would reduce the amount of info you had about players first hand


Finally these are 4th and 5th rounders you.are whining about here

they are talented development projects meant to add speed to a lumbering team

Robinson had ball security issues which I can understand coming from QB to RB and against a stout niners front his speed looked good to the outside


Sanders is struggling with routes which is rather like another 4th who is now doing pretty well Sullivan can fix that with time but he has shown fight and elusiveness and talent on special teams


As for gratz your right he is a reach if you follow the NFL rankings but he looked solid in preseason and has had an injury so we haven't seen much of him

If,he develops as he should I think a third rounder for a dependable starting cornor is a bargain


The one you could condemn is cyprien who looks lost at the moment and is a second slow reading the pass which is disappointing but then it would be unfair to condemn someone who had half a preseason due to injury


Hold your axe til this time next year when they have had time to adjust and develop a little
