One thing is clear - We aren't getting the #1 pick

#61

Well at least the Texans traded their pick to the Fins and they won’t be drafting a QB.

Jets would beat the Jags, as they at least can play some defense

Gregg would steal our playbook, laugh himself silly, and return it with a suggested batch of better plays

Whether we get the #1 pick doesn't matter Trevor is not coming here. Would you? His dad and him will pull an Elway and look for a better spot that has an O line and a proven defense. That is what he has done all his career so far. There also will be enough interest in him to do it. So we might as well get that out of our heads.

That's actually a good idea. Draft him and then trade him for next year's first and a second/fifth.

Our oline isn't that bad and a lot of weapons on offenses.  Minshew is 5th in passing yards.  Its the defense holding this team back

There's been like 3 players in the last 3 decades to pull the "I'm not playing there" type crap. Bo, Eli, and Elway...

I doubt Trevor is going to be that kind of dude.

That being said... I think there are QBs with just as much talent coming out so I'm not mad if we "miss out" on Lawrence.
If we're drafting a QB in the first, it isn't Lawrence or nobody.... And I doubt he refuses to play for whoever drafts him #1 overall.

If anything he can see who is picking #1 (likely the Jets or Giants, imo) and decide to return to college instead of being a little [BLEEP]


Also... most teams picking #1, don't have a proven OL, or defense, or QB. They're usually pretty bad overall.

I agree.  Especially if we clean house and start fresh.  Trevor (or any other top prospect) would get a feel of starting something new and exciting here.
This is a results-oriented business.  There are no trophies or titles given for "moral victories" or for "winning the draft".  Our record with DC is 37-86.  6-10 is our 2nd best season in 8 years of Caldwell leadership.  These are the FACTS.

The Jags have been playing poorly this year, but there are currently ten teams with only one win. And the Jets are still winless and currently losing to Miami by multiple scores. The Jags are bad, but we have a lot of teams with really bad records this year. I am interested in seeing how everything shakes out regarding the top picks in this draft. According to this tweet, even with factoring another loss today, as of right now the Jags would be picking #5 in the draft. (Though things could change, especially as the Jags enter the tougher part of their schedule).

Hello darkness my old friend, I have come to post here again. Because there is no vision softly creeping... and the vision that was planted in my brain..
Still remains
The sound of silence. 

In restless seasons I post alone
Pointless seasons carved in stones
Near the halo of another draft night
To commercial they will cut on our pick alright
While my eyes were shone more jaguars draft picks without hope, the board will gasp and say nope
The sound of silence

In the stands I saw maybe ten thousand not much more
People sitted without cheering
People watching without seeing
Calling plays that fruitless bore
little yards and no score
The sound of silence

And the people on these boards write
They will cry and they will fight
Owner, staff and much much more
Won't care no more
The sound of silence
Birth of the Franchise - November 30, 1993
Death of the Franchise - November 29, 2011

Fans deserve better. Thanks for all the good times too many are in the past.

Wow.  I'm not sure if I am more "impressed" or "creeped out" by your lyrical post.   Laughing

Jags won't win another game.  Thank God for no pre-season games... it gave us our one win in COVID Week 1.

We will have the worst season in franchise history and go 1-15

Gentleman's bet... The Jets will win at least 2 games this year and finish with a better record than us.

Sewell would be a great player for us, but if we are Top 5 with a new GM... I'm guessing it's one of the QB's

We are not talented on offense. We have the 24th ranked offense in the League. And that stat is inflated because we are are always playing from behind and getting garbage yards against defenses playing us soft in the 2nd half of games.  Same applies for Minshew's stats.  He's not a Top 20 QB.  At this point, I don't even see him being a Fitzpatrick type guy.  He's a solid back up.
