So you are satisfied with this roster after 7 years of Caldwell at the helm?

He was at the helm for 4 years and the roster was good in 2017, his worst first round pick (fournette) was likely not his choice. He actually makes decent trades lately, I think he has improved in that regard. The current state of the roster is because of the talent Coughlin ran off. If we didn’t have all our actual pro-bowl level players on other teams we would be better. The fact that Caldwell has drafted multiple pro-bowl level players and found many starting level players actually makes me think he is good. We couldn’t get any receivers for years before Caldwell. 

The only real knock on Caldwell is Bortles and maybe tackles.  We tried for too long with him and he just wasn’t the guy. Caldwell hasn’t found a franchise quarterback yet and I think that’s valid. But we also haven’t had the best development for our QBs. If Caldwell gets the 1st overall and gets a clear cut QB to pick I think the opinion of him will change.

On Marrone, I don’t think he’s the best coach, but he’s not as bad as we look right now. It’s not that I think he couldn’t be improved on, it’s just I don’t think the jags can get that guy. Would belichek come to the jags? Probably not. Would shanahan? I doubt it. We get the B-tier. I think our only hope is to promote a guy and hope he translate. Jay Gruden is probably as close to known commodity as we can get
