Defensive end would be a huge Mistake if the Jags stay at #1

Regardless of position, the first pick this year would receive a similar deal. Assuming you draft Neal and put him initially at RT, how does paying him about $9.2m compare to the top earning 10 RTs in the league (below). Last year, Walker Little signed a 4 year deal averaging $1.9m. From a financial standpoint, paying a starting LT/RT a combined $11.1m per year would be considered a bargain on most teams' cap, and paying a top RT (which I assume he would be for a top 3 pick in the draft) is reasonable for the RT position. On a side note....Wirfs, the previous 13th selection, makes an average of $4.1m. I don't think taking the positionally flexible Neal with the first pick would be bad for Trevor's health (or passing game) or financially unreasonable, even if he initially plays RT. I am more an advocate for taking one of the DEs, but an OT would be OK. I don't like Neal, period. I think he's gonna be an average RT at best. If there was someone like Ryan Ramczyk in this draft, I'd be pounding the table for him. I wanted to draft Ramczyk in the 2017 NFL Draft instead of Leonard Fournette, but was told that was too high to select Ramczyk. You shouldn't just select a player #1 overall, because you have a huge need at that spot. The quality has to be there and this is a poor draft for OT's. Always take the BAP and this year, that is edge rusher. |
