Quote:This reminds me of when the Jags just dumped guys like Daryl Smith and Rashean Mathis who still had valuable playing days when the Jags were rebuilding.. I know it's best to look to the future, but don't dump veterans unless his replacement is on the roster. I think the Jags could have avoided some of these cellar years if they had not been so quick to dump everyone when Dave Came in. Even looking back at the Monroe trade, you could have had a decent LT on your line and moved Joeckel to Guard sooner but the need to make guys fit into roles they don't fit in and cut or trade players are a part of the reason the Jaguars have been picking top 5 for a decade

 

Agreed. That's why they need to get a guy in the hopper from this class. The other concern with Paul is durability. He's a heavy hitter and doesn't shy away from throwing his body around out there at times.

 

Every now and then it lands him on the bench with a jacked up arm. Would feel a lot more comfortable with a guy like McMillan or Cunningham being groomed behind him who could also jump right into the defense.
