Ridley, when he's on the field at least, he's been a pretty competent receiver. He probably would have had a monster year with Kyle Pitts out there looking like the 2nd coming of Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates had he stuck it out.

His mental issues must be severe. I wouldn't risk it. This team is in far worse shape than Atlanta is in right now. Telvin Smith had his issues a few years ago. Really don't think it's a good fit or idea. This team is going to have to get creative in free agency and they should honestly start shopping that No. 1 or No. 2 overall pick now to see if anybody wants to bite on opening night.

I totally agree about shopping that 1st pick once Sunday's game is over. As much as I like Hutchinson, the Jaguars need to fill many needs and acquiring multiple picks would be my preference. As has been mentioned, great pass rushers are a prized commodity. Several teams picking in the top 10 are in dire need of edge rushers including the Jets and Giants- both possess two first round picks. The Eagles are also in need of pass rushers and have three 1st rounders, but their earliest pick looks to be in the 12-15 range. It would be preferable to stay in the top 10 if a trade down is made so the Jags could land a potentially great receiver or offensive lineman. If they aren't given a 2nd first rounder, I'd expect at least a high 2nd and 3rd - at the least. That would give them 6 picks in the top 70-75 enabling them to significantly improve several position groups. I'll be very disappointed if they fail to do this since the current team is so devoid of talent.
