Sony Michel, Nick Chubb, Darius Leonard, Mike Gesicki, Connor Williams...

Pretty decent amount of directions we could have gone there.

If the Jags drafted another 1st round RB, they would have been flamed by everyone on this board. Plus Michel and Chubb have shown flashes, but Michel is already looking injury prone and Chubb has not shown to be a generational back yet. Neither would have done anything behind the injury offensive line last year.

Goedert, Sutton, Gesicki all showed a few flashes, but all are still huge question marks this year. Goedert is also hurt right now. Gesicki has had a poor camp this year. None would have shown much last year with Bortles.

Leonard was a huge reach at the time of the Draft. Yes in hindsight, he was a great pick, but very few could have predicted that.

I'm not sure how good Williams was last year.

That leaves Hernandez as the only direction that seemed "obvious" choice last year. But how many really thought he would be that good as a guard. Plus it's only 1 season.

Drafting is always about valuing risk/reward. Bryan probably had a larger variance, but I can totally understand why they opted for that chance over a "safer option".
