Lol, or you 2 could be wrong?  The Vikings, Ravens, and Raiders have helped proven that.   I guess the Colts are the smartest team lol

I'm talking about Walker, Dave drafted for need, that was his problem.  That will get one fired every time.  Dave was a bad drafter before he traded Yawn

If Dave was drafting for position or need, don't you think artificially creating the need by letting those players walk didn't provide temptation/extra incentive to do just that?!?  You said there was no link between letting guys like Yan and Ramsey go and poor drafting, and then you say you never draft for need.  The Jaguars created their own needs by getting rid of productive players, then drafted to fill those needs they needlessly created. 

They let CB Jalen Ramsey leave, and followed that decision up by drafting CB CJ Henderson 9th overall, signing Griffin to a free agent deal, then drafting Campbell at the top of the 2md round.

I've already discussed the foolish efforts to replace Yan.

They cut Fournette and wound up spending a first round pick on Etienne.

That's three insstances of cutting or trading productive players that contributed to the last winning team we had, then drafting almost immediately in the first round the following draft to try to fill the vacuum created by those transactions. 

How in the hell can you deny the link between those transactions and the subsequent draft picks?!?
