I don't remember that at all. I also don't believe Haskins is overrated. In fact, I started the season with Haskins not even on my radar and he impressed me more and more every week. Trubisky only started for one year and he has been very impressive this season, to my complete surprise. Starting only one season in college is not a complete deterrent to drafting a guy. 

Haskins has very good arm strength. maybe not as strong as a guy like Drew Lock who has a cannon, but Haskins is better than average. I guess you could argue that Grier, Lock or Herbert could be better prospects, but IMO, you'd be dead wrong. Unlike you, I don't have faith Tom will bring in a new GM at all, much less the right one. In fact, other than a new OC, I think everything will be status quo for next year. I don't think we'll trade up and I believe we will overdraft the wrong QB and be in the same situation we are in currently, five years from now. Seriously, what makes you think anything will change? Blind faith?

Unfortunately, I agree with most of your predictions. Caldwell will be back despite his terrible track record with high draft picks. How can we expect him to find the right quarterback when he drafted Bortles and passed on Watson and Mahomes to select Fournette. Coughlin may have been mostly responsible for the Fournette pick, but Caldwell was still the G.M. Yesterday's win means it is likely that the Jags will not necessarily have their choice of selecting their highest rated quarterback. 

I just hope that this team will finally get lucky by ending up with the guy who inevitably takes them back to the playoffs. Between Herbert, Haskins, Lock and Grier NOBODY knows for sure which q.b. will end up as the best of the group. Lock has the best arm, Grier has the "it" factor and grit which Coughlin loves, Haskins has the best combination of overall traits desired in an NFL q.b. and Herbert has the highest ceiling. The Jaguars will need to not only get their evaluations of these guys correct, but also be lucky that "THEIR" guy is still on the board when they pick. None of these guys appear to be Andrew Luck, but who knew for sure how great Mahomes would turn out? The same can be said for eventual hall of famers Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Tom Brady. Will this be the draft when the Jaguars finally strike gold at the most important position after 3 huge whiffs (Byron, Blaine and Blake) in their short history? At least none of the top 4 prospects do not have a first name beginning with the letter "B."
