Quote:I think Garrett is my #1, but I would definitely be happy with Allen.  He's Bama's best player.  Thing I love about him the most is his hands.  He stays so busy and has such a great motor that he's so hard to block.  Go to a 4-3 base, put him next to Malik, and we're going to tear it up on defense.

As things stand now, the Jaguars will be picking either 3rd or 4th with Cleveland and S.F. ahead of them. Even if the Bears lose out and pick 3rd, there's still a very good chance that either Garrett or Allen will be available for the Jaguars. In my opinion, these would be equally great picks and potentially put their defense over the top if Jack, Fowler, Ramsay and Yannick show typical improvement from year 1 to year 2. 

 

Quarterbacks are always overdrafted by desperate teams and the Browns, S.F. and Bears all need quarterbacks although Kaepernick's performance last week may give the 49er's hope that he can still eventually become their franchise q.b. For that reason, among others, I hope he struggles for the remainder of this season.
