Quote:You don't KNOW you will get him later. That's the issue. You said if Caldwell believes in McCarron then he should pass on him and trade back to get him later without knowing if other GM's will pass on him too. If he believes he's worth the 4th pick (if that's where we pick) why should he pass on him as you suggest?

 

According to your logic he should pass on everyone he believes in to trade away for more picks. This strategy will get you 20 picks in the 6th round.

McCarron will almost certainly be there in the mid 1st round. 

 

If McCarron is Caldwell's guy, he should be aware of the likelyhood of the above, and try to enhance the Jaguars position in the draft accordingly. Taking a player with the 5th pick when you instead could try to (and probably succeed) to trade down to the target position and add a few picks in the process is simply smart business. Caldwell also isn't dumb/ over-simplistic to fall in love with just one mid-round prospect - he'd have contingency plans.
