Michael Bennett = steal of the draft

#41

Hopefully it isn't something that he did off the field.

I saw on twitter he had a groin injury that will keep him out of rookie camp. The issue was that and we are very lucky it was so severe. No need to rush him. Just get him healthy and coach him along slowly.

These are the type of late round picks that I'm talking about. Instead of looking for special teams fillers only Caldwell actually identifies guys with starting potential in the later rounds. At worse they would be marginal rotation players.

The best value since Brewster was an UDFA?

I wouldn't expect much from him until next year. This injury will need to be treated gingerly so he won't be hitting camp full speed. We need to expect a slow development year from him due to a lingering groin injury.

By 2016, teams will fear our defense.

How did we go from drafting Scotty McGee in the 6th round to getting Michael Bennett in the 6th round??

Quote:Drafting him kind of makes up for not getting williams
Totally agree

Respect the game.  Play with a sense of urgency. 


1.)  Take care of the ball.  Win the turnover battle.

2.)  It's all about 3rd down.  Win on 3rd down to win the game.

3.) Playmakers make plays.  The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays.

Quote:Walter Football also graded this pick an A+.  Below are their comments:

 

"This is one of the best third-day picks in the 2015 NFL Draft. Michael Bennett could have easily gone in the second or third round, but thanks to some minor injury concerns, Jacksonville is getting a steal at No. 180 overall. Bennett is definitely going to help the Jaguars apply more pressure on the quarterback." 

 
I hope he intoduces himself to Andrew Luck.

Quote:I love what this pick signifies. The roster actually has, arguably, a surplus of guys on the D-Line. You see teams like the Packers constantly losing players in FA, only to plug in a player they drafted in the mid to late rounds a year or two prior. They land a couple high compensatory picks, the young guy turns into a good player, and the wheel keeps turning. A year or two down the road, we may be able to say the same thing.
Draft and develop.

Quote:I think he's got two more years. We are getting perfect fits for that defense and our offense is going into year two with a QB and a lot of young but promising players. We definitely need to get at least 5 wins this year imo, would like to see 6 or 7. It all hinges on Bortles.
 

I agree and also think that if Bradley screws up the games this year and doesn't produce wins then they need to find a different direction at HC.  Caldwell has been bringing in the talent, Bradley has got to do something with it.

Fantastic pick, with two of our three starting caliber DTs having had offseason surgery.

 

Load and rotate the DL, keep the opposition's OL sucking wind.

I'd probably go with Allen Hurns, being that he's still on the team and all.

Although I agree, I don't see how much of what has happened is his fault. Our O-line was absolutely terrible last year, he had Gabbert/Henne up until week 4 last year than went to a rookie QB that was viewed as raw or needed time to develop. All of our WR's were rookies besides Shorts last year that produced basically. With the talent we brought in on defense, we saw just a little glimpse of what we can do, and that's with some holes still being on defense and no premier pass rusher.

 

I don't know, I guess I just don't see how he could have done much better up to this point with what he has been given. I think that these first two years need to be basically tossed out the window. This is the year where we need to start seeing some hope, as I said, 5-7 wins should mean Bortles and co. is starting to show something but still developing, and a lot of our talent are 1st/2nd year players and still improving.

The two are tied at the hip. Even DC admitted to not bringing enough help/having too many young guys last season.

Jesus, imagine this rushing subpackage:

 

Fowler, Marks, Bennett, Odrick

 

Sheesh. Quarterbacks might as well just lay down after the snap.
