But you said you trust him to evaluate QBs. I actually think it's quite the opposite. Brunell was average. Garrard was average. Eli is average. Blake is below average.

I think the QB position is by far the hardest position to evaluate in all of sports and there are not many people out there who can say they are good at it. Maybe Andy Reid? Coughlin has never struck me as some QB guy.

How are you not getting this? What guy has Coughlin ever drafted high that went bust? What guy has he ever paid franchise money to that turned out to be garbage?

Is your whole outlook based on him not canning Bortles last year?

I'd have rather him taken Mahomes in 2016, but maybe he felt it was too risky, but at least we haven't seen him take Gabbert followed by Bortles. I think Coughlin can tell when a guy is "not franchise but we can win with him" level pretty well, so if he decides to take Murray then that's good enough for me. I don't think the Jaguars should take him, just that I think Coughlin can tell if a guy won't be good enough to be worthy of a top ten pick.
