The only thing trading down gives you is multiple less talented players.


When your record proves you have a roster full of those why do you want more?


In other words, if you feel better drafting two quarterbacks it means you don't have one.

I think I have the same concern as you. Putting it simply, if you pick at three you have a better chance of getting one of the players you want than if you pick at ten.


But, a trade could work out for us in the right circumstances. For instance if you were offered Watkins at three or a trade which bagged you both Beckham and Bridgewater, I think I would go for the trade.

If we drop to around 10~

 

Give me in order of preference: Assuming Clowney,Watkins, Mack are definitely gone....

 

Evans

Matthews/Robinson

Ha-Ha

Dennard

Barr

Manziel

Martin/Lewan

Ebron

I would replace Dennard with Gilbert, Manziel with Bridgewater, and Donald.

 

The Jaguars already have two smaller, quicker DT types in Marks and Hood.  If they need a DT, it would need to be a run plugger like Nix.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Yes and No....

 

Using Madden Type Mindset:

 

If you have 5 holes on your roster...do you take 1 player thats a 95 or do you trade back and get a 90 and another 88 so that you fill two holes with solid players?

 

Real World Mindset:

 

#3 has just as good of a chance to bust as pick #10.....do you get more picks and hedge your bets to get a higher percent chance of hitting or do you throw it all on 1 and hope that it pans out?

 

If you have a near full roster sure go for the bigger risk/bigger potential player but when you have multiple holes I think you still go after the more picks option...

Bridgewater/Manziel are about equal to me so no argument there...

 

I see Dennard as a much better scheme fit than Gilbert.

 

Donald is like #13 on that list so @ 10 we would take someone over him but Hood is still an unknown where Donald had crazy production college and might intrigue some @ 10.
