Quote:You are connecting a lot of dots that may or may not be there. Maybe.


Two 22 year old pro bowl caliber pass rushers? You mean the two guys who have a combined 0 snaps in the NFL?


Pass rush for the next decade? So you are banking on these two players sticking around for three contracts each? Only one of which is currently employed by the Jaguars?


Also you seem to be putting us down for a DT in round 2? Interesting.


You've painted quite the alluring picture here. I mean, it's not all that realistic, but interesting none the less.

I said potentially I didn't say sure fire. Would you not agree that two top 5 picks have at least the potential to be pro bowl caliber players? I think if they pan out yes we will have the cap flexibility to resign both into their next two contracts. We will not have to worry about cap for a long time. i think DT is far more likely than any other position to be our pick round 2, because not only it is a need but it's also almost a guarantee that the BPA when we pick in round 2 will be a DT. Marriage of need and value. Not to mention you can never have too many good front line players anyway. I think it is very realistic. It is very realistic that Bosa will be there at 5 and it is very realistic we take him. It is also very realistic that both him and Fowler will at least be good, well rounded, versatile players off the edge. It is also realistic we take a good DT in round 2. Is it a lot of assumptions? Yes. Is it unrealistic? No. There is very much a distinction there.

 

 

Quote:op has numerous different threads where he says who the jags should pick or are going to pick and they're a different player in every one.

 

look at the thread on if Noah Spence checks out the jags should pick him, he's posted in there at least twice talking bosa down.

So being open to different players at a spot in the draft where we don't know who will be available is a problem now? As far as talking down Bosa, I'm explaining why he will drop and why Spence would offer more pass rush ability. However, I'm resigned to the fact that Caldwell will likely take the safer and more well rounded player in Bosa than a risk like Spence who doesn't play the run as well. I've never said Bosa is a bad player and would be a tragedy at 5, only that Spence as a pass rusher is a more tantalizing option. Far be it from me to have less than one narrow minded view on everything.

 

Quote:Bosa already slipping down the board in February? Is he this years Bridgewater?

If slipping a spot or two is being "this year's Bridgewater". He's more like this year's Leonard Williams. Media and internet draftniks hype him up as some next generational talent like Watt and the NFL sees him as just a good prospect. Teams will pass on him based on fit and need. Titans and Browns will both pass. San Diego will likely pass because they run a 3-4 and Bosa is an awkward fit in that defense, whereas DeForest Buckner is perfect for it. The only thing stopping Bosa from falling to us is Dallas and I've read Jalen Ramsey is the number 1 player on their board. So I believe it is a very real, if not likely possibility that Bosa is there when we pick and I believe Caldwell will be inclined to take the pass rusher over the linebacker.
