Quote:Skuta at best is our 7th guy. Which is why I didn't really factor him in. He'll likely be replaced by a rookie in this draft class. If you are drafting the 6th guy in a four-man rotation, that is no longer a need. Yes, Calais will be 31 (or 32?).

 

But on paper, there's many teams in the NFL who would love our top 5 of Yannick/Fowler/Malik/Calais/Abry with Day as the 6th guy in the rotation. Those teams have a "need" at DL. 

 

We do not.
Defensive lineman that can get after the QB is an elite position.  Unless you have the most dominant and deep line in the league, you shouldn't ever pass on that unless there's another elite position you have a much bigger need at with a comparably graded prospect.  Fowler could put up a dud next year and be a bust, Yannick could have a sophomore slump, Calais could be a bust signing, Day may not develop, etc.  There's so many unknowns and that guy we draft could potentially go from being our "6th guy" to a top 3 guy on our line.  I mean, you're not drafting a guy 4th overall and expect him to be the bottom of the depth chart, right?

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
