Quote:Look, if it works out that the Jags can still get Bridgewater, and still have Shorts & Blackmon on the roster then, yeah, I'd be thrilled with that..

 

I am just trying to do whatever we have to do to ensure that we get Teddy, because I think he has the kind of ability plus football smarts & work ethic to be a special QB in this league.  As long as the Jags land Teddy....whether Shorts is still here or not isn't as important....Teddy will make his replacement effective. 

 

To take it further....

 

add in development by Ace Sanders, and then he's your "T.Y. Hilton" cog of the offense for Bridgewater. The only thing missing would be the playmaking/ yards in chunks receiving TE - which Marcedes will never be. I'd like for the Jags to find their version of Jimmy Graham/ Witten/ Julius Thomas/ etc etc. 

But do you really think trading away Cecil will be the catalyst on whether we land Bridgewater or not? I don't think it increases our chances. This is one of the worst teams in NFL history already and it's not even week 8 yet. We will be lucky to win one game, and I think 3-13 will be good enough for the #1 pick, but I'm expecting us to go well under that.

 

I don't like Ace Sanders playing wide. I think those two spots are reserved for the biggest, best receivers you can find, and we've shown how hard it is to find one with our draft history the past 10 years.
