Quote:Rashean Mathis was on the downside of his career. Mike Mularkey demoted him to nickel back. I was glad he got a second chance with the Lions (aka Jacksonville North at the time).

 

A CBS commentator said Telvin Smith was picked late in the draft because he weighed only 200 pounds. I don't know what his projection would have been if he was 50 pounds heavier, but he definitely plays like someone who should have been picked much earlier.

 

The only issue I can see in our 2016 personnel decisions by Caldwell is the offensive line. Why do we still have guys who can't run block?

 

  After suffering a torn ACL I understand why the Jaguars moved on from Rashean Mathis,  especially in a complete rebuild.   But Mathis proved he had plenty left in the tank the following two seasons and was far from a disaster on the field in his final 7 games of his NFL career before a concussion landed him on I.R.  

 

  Telvin Smith was undersized for a 4-3 Weakside LB Prospect but I recall his weight being listed around 218 pounds.   Smith wouldn't be as effective if he played at 250.   His game seems build on speed,  quickness, explosion,  instincts, and passion.

 

  The one thing in particular on the 2016 Jaguars Offensive Line that Dave Caldwell probably would like back is how the LG position was addressed.
