On the other hand, I disagree about Hurst. So what, the guy will be 25. If anything, that is a positive considering the Jaguars need a guy who can start and contribute immediately. He shouldn't need the time to develop that some of the other tight ends like Goedert and Gesicki will need..

Doesn't work like that unfortunately. Regardless of age and college experience TEs tend to take longer to develop and contribute in the NFL.  

For instance a 27 year old rookie TE isn't going to suddenly be able to contribute more than a 21 year old based on his age.  

The main reason Hurst would be able to contribute more early than let's say, Gesicki, would be due to his willingness and ability to block.
