Quote:Are you seriously trying to compare Ivory and Yeldon to Gurley? Next, you'll be comparing Blake Bortles to Tom Brady. Yes, we need to fix the O-Line, that is obvious. I'm a huge advocate for signing Kevin Zeitler in free agency and moving Cann back to LG, which is more natural for him. I'd also love to draft Taylor Moton for RT. With that said though, let's not be delusional and pretend Ivory and Yeldon are great RB's. Ivory had one really good year in New York, but he still lacks burst. At his best, he was a "4 yards and a cloud of dust" type runner. Since then, has gotten older he suffered a mysterious illness from which he doesn't even look like the same guy. As far as Yeldon, he was garbage when we drafted him and he has proven to be garbage for the Jaguars. We need a premier runner. In my opinion that has to be someone who runs with power and breakaway speed. Those types of RB's are few and far between. In this draft that means getting a guy like Fournette, Foreman and Perine. I would be happy with any one of those guys, but if we draft another one dimensional runner like Ivory or Yeldon, that would just be a waste.

100 percent agreed. Running back is a big need right now with this team and I dont think Ivory and Yeldon can carry the load. Ivory will get another chance, but im not sure what his role will be. Yeldon has been a major bust for the Jaguars. Team had high hopes for him, Caldwell spoke very highly of him, they thought his production in college where it is a NFL talent pool would translate into the NFL. Simply hasn't worked out and thats okay. I dont see a scenario where hes anything more than a body on this team this season. 

 

A lot of people are upset some of the bigger names got franchised, but thats okay,, it happens. Defensive end clearly is a big need and I think people are just penciling it in at 4 right now. Im not sure that is set and stone. Under Coughlin, he puts a major emphasis on running the ball and protecting the QB. We are most likely going to miss out on the best pass rusher in the draft and we dont know exactly know what the other teams have in mind. All of the top 3 teams in the draft have a need at QB, maybe we get lucky and some of the other players fall to us at 4. But if Garret and Allen are gone, runninback needs to be seriously considered. I think its one of the biggest needs on the team and it will really help the passing game if we can run the football. Fournette has been my guy in the draft and even if Allen is there at 4, it needs to be considered and I do think Fournette is a major player for the Jags at 4. 

 

We definitely need a DE, but we have lucked out in FA and we probably are going to miss out on the top pass rusher in the draft. We will address both positions no doubt, but I think running back is just as big of a need than DE.
