Quote:Exactly the point you don't pass on the elite player because he would be rotational to start...


I just think Barnett as a DE will have a bigger impact than Adams as a SS.

 

That is my view on Barnett. Plus with how college and NFL game has become more pass happy, I feel above average SS and FS will be easier to find. In the long run it is harder to get the edge rusher, and if he pans out that position will be more valuable. 

 

The other issue with Drafting the "elite SS" or "elite DT" even though we have veterans is that you could easily end up with the same situation that happened with Poz and Myles Jack instead of the Odrick being washed up situation. Then everyone would be screaming about how we wasted a 1st round pick, etc. Not saying you don't pick the position because of veterans, but you can easily have major holes and "wasted talent" on the bench. which is a luxury the Jags don't have.
