Draft priorities - Jaguars (McShay)

#94

Quote:I think we've reached the end of the draft guru period of influence. 

 

Teams used to cave into the large amounts of unfair and inappropriate pressure being placed upon them by so called experts, who frequently are actually not much more than good old fashioned ten in one freak show type shills being paid by sports agents. 

 

We need to continue to build our roster. You don't do that by drafting needs. You do that by drafting the best player you can with each and ever pick regardless of what position is involved. You have to load your roster with the best period. Keep loading your roster with the best players available regardless of position and the apparent needs disappear.

 

Neither Bridgewater nor Mariota is playing like a guy who wants to be drafted at the very top of the 2014 NFL Draft.
 

Teams have their own scouting personnel organizations and agencies (ie. Blesto) to base their opinions and grades for the college prospects.  They do not cave into any 'draft guru' influence currently nor in the past.  The scouts have access to more information (especially interviews and medical) than any of the 'draft gurus'.  Teams do not care what draft gurus like McShay and Kiper think of the prospect(s).

 

The reality is that many players may have a similar grade (or rank) when it is a team's time to make a draft selection.  At that point, both our infamous Gene and Dave have stated that they do look at position.  A team does not wish to wind up with 10 RBs selected in a draft due to being at the top of a force ranked prospect board.  Due to the importance of the position and the shortage in a particular draft of potential 'franchise' ones, the QBs are often and usually picked above their ranking on a board.
