I would be quite happy with this draft, though I am not a huge fan of Long.

Is this what you predict they will do, or what you would do?

What I predict we will do. I am a fan of long though. He's like a more athletic version of Pat Freiermuth. You get the size and you get the hands like Freiermuth, but you also get speed, which is something Freiermuth lacks.

The Jets should be deliriously happy if they landed Spencer brown in the 4th. I would be pissed because we passed him up and didn't trade up to get him in the 3rd.

So if they did exactly as you predict, what would you think of the draft as a Jaguars fan?  What wouldn't you like?  What would you do instead?

It's a decent draft, but not exactly what I would do. I love the first round. We are woefully understaffed at edge pass rusher right now. If we have even one injury, we're screwed. Collins gives us at least a good three man rotation and I believe he would easily beat out Chaisson as a starter by the end of the season. 

It's round 2 where I start disagreeing. I'd take Dyami Brown at #33 and Liam Eichenberg at #45. Brown is a dynamic receiver and having him on the field with D.J. Chark would be a great combination. Eichenberg is a plug and play LT in my opinion. I have him rated higher than Cosmi. 

I love the Hunter Long pick. He gives you everything you want in a TE. I believe he will end up being the 2nd best TE out of this class. I'm good with this one.

I really like Gainwell in the 4th. He has great hands and very good speed. He'd be a solid compliment to Robinson, but there is no way I'd take him over Spencer Brown. Brown would be my pick at #107. He would easily beat out Taylor for the RT position. I like Ben Cleveland. It's not a stand out pick, but he's a good player and can play OG or Center. 

Round 5 is where I am underwhelmed. I really like Darden, but I would have already drafted a WR in Dyami Brown, so I would probably select RB Jaret Patterson. I like his speed and elusiveness, despite his small size. He averaged 16 yards a catch in 2019, so he's explosive with the ball in his hands. A really good compliment to Robinson. Britt is probably my highest rated player on the board, so that pick is fine. 

With the final pick I really am not a fan of Bradley-King. I would take a CB here. IMO, you can't have too many good corners. I like Rachad Wildgoose of Wisconsin.

Question: Why no replacement RT for Baltimore? Was there a specific rationale for it, or did it just work out that way?

#131 I have them taking Alaric Jackson. He played LT at Iowa, but I project him as a RT in the NFL.

I don't see D-Line as a need at all after free agency. We are loaded on the D-Line now with Malcolm Brown, Doug Costin, DaVon Hamilton, Roy Robertson-Harris, Dawuane Smoot and Jihad Ward.

That's not a loaded dline. Its improved but most of those guys are just good rotational and depth guys.  We need a star on that dline and we still need to get better

My mistake.  Obviously I overlooked that.

That would be a decent get for them.

I agree with flgatorsjags here.

We have guys to fill the D-Line positions, but I don't necessarily see them winning many trench battles.  I don't see a true dominator in that group.  Though I prefer an offensive lean to this draft, we could stand to upgrade the DL at least once in this draft.

Yeah there's a distinction between deep and loaded. We have a lot of functional bodies, but we could still use some talent infusion.

I will say that Davon Hamilton has a chance to be a really good player in this scheme, whether you put him at DE or NT.

I don't see D-Line as a need at all after free agency. We are loaded on the D-Line now with Malcolm Brown, Doug Costin, DaVon Hamilton, Roy Robertson-Harris, Dawuane Smoot and Jihad Ward.

That's not a loaded dline. Its improved but most of those guys are just good rotational and depth guys.  We need a star on that dline and we still need to get better

I absolutely, 100% couldn't disagree more. Let's look at the current 3-4 base teams and look at their D-Lines. 

NE- Lawrence Guy, Davon Godchaux, Henry Anderson

Ari- J.J. Watt, Rashard Lawrence, Zach Allen

Balt- Derek Wolfe, Brandon Williams, Calais Campbell

Chi- Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman, Bilal Nichols

Den- Dre'Mont Jones, Mike Purcell, Shelby Harris

GB- Dean Lowry, Kenny Clark, Kingsley Keke

Hou- Vincent Taylor, Maliek Collins, Charles Omenihu

LAR- Michael Hoecht, Sebastian Joseph Day, Aaron Donald

Mia- Christian Wilkins, Zach Sieler, Raekwon Davis

NYG- Dexter Lawrence, Danny Shelton, Leonard Williams

Pitt- Stephon Tuitt, Tyson Alualu, Cameron Heyward

TB- Ndamukong Suh, Vita Vea, William Gholston

Tenn- Jeffrey Simmons, Teair Tart, Denico Autry


I'm not seeing a lot of star players. I see J.J. Watt, Akiem Hicks, Aaron Donald, Leonard Williams, Stephon Tuitt and Ndamukong Suh. Baltimore and Green Bay are seemingly always in the playoffs and they don't have a star D-Lineman. Denico Autry was a very good pass rusher for Indy, but he is changing systems and who knows what he will be in a 3-4 scheme? Calais Campbell was a star in a 4-3 scheme, but since moving to a 3-4 he had his lowest sack total since his rookie year. The pass rush is generated via the OLB's and the DE's and NT are there to stop the run. We have excellent run stoppers up front now. Brown is tremendous. I'm supper excited to see DaVon Hamilton in a 3-4 and we spent a lot of money on Robertson Harris. Add to that all the depth we have with Smoot, Costin and Ward and I see a very good rotation that is as good as any on this list. We can succeed with what we have now. There is no reason to believe otherwise.

3-4 defenses really aren't designed for the linemen to put up big sack numbers.  Typically, the DL are unselfish, and are tasked with occupying blockers so the LBs can make the plays.

As for you assessment of the players on those teams, I would say Lawrence Guy is very good.  Also, while Cincy is not running a 3-4, they got DJ Reader last year from Houston.  Reader is outstanding.  Furthermore, the Rams managed to keep Michael Brockers.  Brockers is a good 3-4 DL.

It's funny you listed Tuitt but not Heyward, a guy who has been one of the best dlinman since entering the league.  Not to mention you left off a number of studs who is better than anything we have on the dline.   You are the only person on this board that thinks we are loaded on the dline.  I want a game changer up front if we are able to land one and as does Meyer unless you just think he is lying everytime he puts a emphasis on having a great dline.  You said this draft is what you think the Jags will do and then you said you passed Barmore multiple times because you think our dline is loaded.  I dont think Baalke and Meyer thinks our dline is loaded, if they felt that we wouldn't of tried to land Alualu.  Even if we were able to get Alu I still think they would of tried to upgrade the dline in the draft

Exactly, so why do we need a pass rushing difference maker on the D-Line? I think we are more than capable of being a good defensive team with a D-Line of Hamilton, Brown and Robertson-Harris. I totally believe we need to focus on getting another OLB. Right now, we just have Allen and Chaisson with virtually nothing behind them. Allen is coming off injury and Chaisson was a huge disappointment in 2020. I don't see a pass rushing difference maker on the D-Line in this draft anyway.

To me, Guy's name says it all. He's just a guy. He's never had more than 4.5 sacks in a year. He's not a pass rushing difference maker. Reader was a NT and he has never had over 2.5 sacks. flgatorsandjags was specifically sighting that we needed a pass rusher on the D-Line, so that is what I was focusing on for current NFL 3-4 teams. Brockers was too inconsistent to call him a pass rushing difference maker. He went from 4.5 sacks in 2017 to 1 in 2018 to 3 in 2019 to 5 in 2020. Not to mention that he had the benefit of playing opposite the best defensive player in the NFL, Aaron Darnold.

You dont know how to judge a players affectivness.  You just look at a sack number.  I want a 3-4 end that is a game changer like a Richard Seymore or a Cameron Heyward.  Since those guys didn't put up double digit stats you don't think those guys were game changer at times?    I feel Barmore has that potential, Barmore can push the pocket, can cause disruption in the passing game, and is good against the run.  Can do it all, none of our guys on the dline has the potential Barmore has

Barmore had 3 sacks and 3 FFs last year so if you just want to look at the sack number there you go. Not to mention when we are in 4-3 sets Barmore will play the 3 tech where he might shine even more.

Heyward is very good, but he is 31 and coming off his worst season as a pass rusher since 2016 and he has the benefit of playing opposite Tuitt. If you want to add him to the list of great 3-4 pass rushers, go ahead. It still doesn't change my argument. I don't think anyone I left out that is better than what we have. I really like DaVon Hamilton and think he's not being talked about enough. I am expecting a big year from him. Brown is a great run stuffer and we paid Robertson-Smith starter money in free agency. I also believe a scheme switch will greatly benefit Smoot and Costin in particular and Ward is experienced in the system we will run and had 3.0 sacks in 2020 as a part time player with the Ravens. We don't need a difference maker on the D-Line. The Ravens and Packers are in the playoffs almost every year and they generate their pass rush via the OLB position. 

When I say we are loaded at D-Line, I mean we have a lot of depth and we have no glaring weaknesses. I am confident going into the season that we have greatly upgraded the position. I'm way more concerned about the OLB spot. We essentially have Allen and Chaisson and no one else. Allen is coming off injury and Chaisson was a disappointment in 2020. We need at least 3 rotational players who can get to the QB. This is a weakness. 

You are placing way too much emphasis on Barmore. I don't think there is a difference making 3-4 D-Lineman in this draft. I believe you are way over-estimating how good he will be. Have you seen the recent rumors that he doesn't take too well to coaching and that they had some issues with him at Alabama? It was brought up on the draft rumors section of the board by irontrooper83. I read the same article and if it was true, I'd totally take Barmore off my board. If he refuses to be coached, he's not going to be a benefit to the team drafting him. You can't have one guy blowing his assignments, because he refuses to be coached. 

As far as buying into what Meyer and Baalke have been saying about the D-Line, I don't know who is lying and who is telling the truth this time of year. There are so many smokescreens, who knows what is true? I just know that if they follow the BAP model as I see it, this is how I believe they will draft.

You are probably the biggest needs drafter on this board.  I'm good with getting a 3-4 OLB as well if he is a better player than Barmore. I just don't think there will be a better defensive player on the board if Barmore is there at 25

Because a 3-4 DL can make a difference in ways aside from sacks.  A dominant run defender who can occupy blocks means more free guys to go get the ball carrier.  This means more long yardage situations which leads to more sacks and turnovers and better field position. 

Guy sounds like he has a generic name, but every time I see him, he does something that impresses me.  Way more than renaldo Wynn or Tyson alualu or Taven Bryan ever did.  It doesn't matter to me whether NTs register many sacks, as long as they clog the middle.  Joel Steed and Ted Washington never notched many sacks, but they were key to the Steelers' and Bills' stingy defenses.

Now if you run a 3-4 and can get a DL who can generate a good pass rush (Leonard Marshall, Bruce Smith, Neil Smith, Howie Long, J.J. Watt), then you have the potential to have a special defense because it's one additional matchup advantage.  But not having a big pass rusher from a 3-4 DL doesn't mean he's not winning any matchups or helping your defense.
