Quote:You ever heard of this guy named Blake Bortles?

Fowler? Yet to be determined, but I doubt that was a complete screw up as well.

Hopefully they hit a home run with this next draft. Seriously, how many straight years are the Jags going to have a top 5 or top ten pick and still remain a bottom-feeder team? Teams that continuously have top draft picks will eventually be loaded with talent,, right?

I'm talking about draft day. Watching the draft, Monroe was the only selection I felt wasn't a complete screw-up. Bortles was not a screw-up, but obviously wasn't a home run hit either. Lots of improvement in year 2; however, he still leads the NFL in sacks, he still leads the NFL in interceptions, and he's still bottom 4 in QBR, passing percentage, etc.


I can't say Fowler is a screw-up yet because of his unfortunate injury. However, I don't see him being anywhere even remotely close to what we are expecting. You can't take a player like that and then all of a sudden expect him to be a double digit sack guy and apply constant pressure on the QB when he did nothing of the sort in college. Anything is an improvement over what we have though. We have no production coming out of the LEO position. Branch with 4 sacks; I can think of safeties that get to the quarterback more than that.
