Quote:I can see #1 but what does #2 have to do with evaluating his worth on the field? The fact that he is already a Jag doesn't make his 'stock' any more valuable. Indeed, just because he was very good in college doesn't automatically guarantee that he will also be excellent in the NFL. He is still an unknown asset at the pro level. All we know about him as a Jag so far is that he only lasted 10 minutes in practice before he was hurt!


Certainly, we're to have hope in him, but I'd caution betting the house on him until we see what he will actually do here.

Man, you guys really love arguing. Im not saying his stock is higher. I guess what I'm saying is... He is an unknown asset, but he's our asset still. We expect him to make a full recovery and be ready week 1. He's progressed well. Yeah, sure it sucks but we've committed 20 million dollars to him. We've got no choice but to be optimistic about him. Drafting another unknown asset in another DE increases our chances of hitting on a player, but is still unknown. If we knew he would tear his ACL, I'm not sure we draft him still. But we did. Myles Jack is still in consideration at 5, but he's still a risk. One unknown has 20 million dollars committed, one doesn't. I want Jack at 5, just stating why I think it's a risk
