New run:

RD1 / P19: Cam Smith - CB - South Carolina
RD2 / P51: Darnell Washington - TE - Georgia
RD3 / P82: Warren McClendon - RT - Georgia
RD5 / P118: Tuli Tuipulotu - DT (5-tech) - USC
RD5 / P119: Dontayvion Wicks - WR - Virginia
RD5 / P150: Mike Morris - DE - Michigan
RD6 / P180: Zack Kuntz - TE - Old Dominion
RD7 / P195: Deuce Vaughn - RB - Kansas State

Goal was to land three starters between Smith at CB, Washington at TE (Hopefully to compliment Engram after he's resigned) and then McClendon at RT if Taylor ends up walking in March with Walker Little potentially still fighting for the RT job, or, maybe even Robinson's job at LT if he shows out strong these next two games (potentially play offs). 

After that? Specialty role players / depth everywhere else. Tuli at the big end position in a 3 - 4. Wicks in a pinch with his size and speed. Morris in a pass rush specialist role off the edge. Kuntz is a project at TE but he's rangy and athletic to work his way in. Tall as hell. Vaughn is a nice gadget type player that can run and catch really well out of the backfield. Fits a bit of that Agnew/Hasty role for us. Can play Special Team's as well.

Would be thrilled with these first two picks.

Cam Smith follows in a long line of quality So. Caro. CBs dating back to Dunta Robinson.  He's very scrappy when it comes to the ball and constantly fights to prevent the catch.  Isn't afraid to run support.

I see Washington as similar in build and athleticism to Jelani Woods.  He could be the true Y and give us more formation flexibility and better run blocking at that spot.  I don't think Arnold offers the blocking/bulk that Washington offers, and Manhertz does not provide the receiving threat that  Washington does.  I would strongly urge we still keep Engram even if we were to draft Washington or any other TE.

I'm a bit higher on Joey Porter Jr. and his tools at CB tbh and that is who I would take if we take a CB in the first round. But Smith is very good in his own right, so would be good with him also. Think at least one of them will fall to us(Though would not be stunned if Porter goes in the top 15 or even top 10 for that matter).

Make no mistake, I like Joey Porter Jr.  Even though Penn State historically has produced lousy DBs, Porter is the best CB to ever come out of Penn State.  Big, physical, has good length and bloodlines.  Had my eye on him just about all season long.

Just completed my first mock on Fanspeak:

Rd.1: O'Cyrus Torrence -  Guard

Rd. 2: Jared Verse- Edge

Rd. 3: Garrett Williams- Nickel

Rd. 4: Mazi Smith- Defensive Tackle

Rd. 4:: Xavier Hutchinson- wide receiver

Rd. 5: Dalton Kincaid- Tight end

I'd be pleased if the Jaguars had a draft like this. Kincaid is the only player who'd likely be gone well before I took him in round 5. This draft enables Walker to move to defensive end replaced at Edge by Verse. Mazi Smith should help replace Robertson-Harris if the team can't afford him and Hutchinson went to Bartram High so he'd be a fan favorite. He'd compete with Tim Jones for Marvin Jones' spot on the roster. Torrence will replace Bartch and significantly help run game as well as pass protection.

Would you draft Torrencce with the idea of moving Scherrf to LG and putting Torrence at RG, or plugging him in at RG?

Do you see him as maybe a swing tackle?  Does he have positional versatility outside of the G positions?

I believe he has only played guard, not tackle. He started at left guard, but has spent most of his time at right guard. Phil Rauscher has done a very good job as offensive line coach and I'm sure he will find the best combination. No doubt, a more versatile lineman like Skoronski would be preferable but he'll be gone before the Jags pick.

I guy like Cooper Beebe?  He played LT last year and was a First team All American at LG this year. Hes also played RG and RT.   Has good size and is a good run blocker and pass blocker.

Beebe definitely would be a possibility as would Andrew Vorhees from USC. The advantage for both is they do have more versatility than Torrance and there's a good chance one will be available in the 2nd round. That would enable them to take a pass rusher with the first pick. I feel like that will be the team's number 1 need going into next season. Jared Verse looked very good last night, but Oklahoma did not have their top linemen like Anton Harrison for this game.

I've cooled on Skoronski when I found he is only 294.  If true, while he may be a scheme fit in terms of athletic ability, I think he's too light and may have difficulty holding up at the point of attack against bigger DTs/NTs.  That's a problem with Fortner.

I like what I have read about the guards in this draft, but haven't seen any clear footage of them just yet.

Fortner is 6'4" 307. Thats a pretty good sized center.  Jason Kelce is the best center in the game and hes 6'3" 295.  You dont see many centers over 310.  With that said I like versatility but id rather an elite guard than a versatile G/T.  You need you backups to be versatile.

Skoronski is my pick, but he will be gone imo by the time it comes to our turn

Won't be surprised if we go with a CB , e.g. ringo

Bored again. Slow day at work. Here's another quick run with us slotted at the 19th pick.

19. Peter Skoronski - OT - Northwestern
50. Emmanuel Forbes - CB - Mississippi State
85. Sam LaPorta - TE - Iowa
120. Zach Harrison - EDGE Rusher - Ohio State
121. Andrew Vorhees - OG - USC

This would be too good to be true. The 1st 6 picks are home-runs! Seriously doubt Skoronski, Vorhees and Mauch will go this late, but I'd sign up for this group right now.

Used FanSpeak this time, it's a lot more current prospect wise, pretty realistic results here:

19: R1 P19 TE Michael Mayer - Notre Dame
51: R2 P20 CB Emmanuel Forbes - Mississippi State
83: R3 P20 DL Gervon Dexter - Florida
122: R4 P20 CB Riley Moss - Iowa
123: R4 P21 C Luke Wypler - Ohio State
155: R5 P20 OT Connor Galvin - Baylor
188: R6 P13 EDGE YaYa Diaby - Louisville
195: R6 P20 WR Dontay Demus Jr. - Maryland
207: R6 P32 DL Karl Brooks - Bowling Green
224: R7 P9 RB Kenny McIntosh - Georgia

Some of these players I had to dig into. While doing so. The two that came up intrigue wise for me are YaYa Diaby and Karl Brooks. Both are highly productive in the sack column and looked pretty good on film from what I saw. They may help backfill some of the depth we're going to lose with Smoot, Key and Robertson-Harris. Wypler from Ohio State is billed at Center but I think he's a solid prospect for Guard. Can help out like Shatley at Center as well. I also really like that Galvin guy out of Baylor. Pretty tall prospect, would be a good work in and back up behind Little at RT if they don't retain Taylor. 

Overall I still like my first four selections here. Mayer was BAP there. Getting him to go along with hopefully a tagged Engram gives this offense even more versatility with an incoming Ridley at WR. Forbes was there where I like him in RD2 for us. Dexter is a mountain and could be a nice NT for this defense. Should eventually spell, if not, replace Fatukasi down the road in this scenario.

Riley Moss is just too good of a nickel CB prospect with a nose for the endzone to not have on this team in RD4. I think with Griffin being cut, Herndon being a liability and only having Campbell and Williams to really rely on going into 2023 we're going to have to double dip at CB IMHO. Landing Forbes gives you a Diggs type gambler at the position and landing Moss gives you a really sound nickel cover man with special team's ability. 

Demus Jr. in RD6? Yes, please. McIntosh is a dual threat there in RD7. I know we can probably pick-up a free agent RB that goes undrafted but I think McIntosh production wise, versatility wise and the fact that he's now played in multiple big title games is a good pick up to have on this team. He'll get plenty of action against TCU. Could do far worse in RD7 IMHO.

Nice draft class. I like doing these simulations since we learn more about prospects like Diaby and Brooks. We have just moved back to spot 24 on FanSpeak due to the victory over the Chargers. I drafted the following group beginning with pick 24:

Round 1: Broderick Jones

Round 2: O'Cyrus Torrence

Round 3: Derrick Hall

Round 4: Sam LaPorta and Tre'devious Hodges-Tomlinson

Round 5: Parker Washington

Round 6: D.J. Johnson and DeWayne McBride


Overall, I'd love to end up with this group. The strength is significantly upgrading the offensive line, although I doubt Jones will be there at pick 24. I would have preferred to take an Edge rusher earlier than round 3 since this will be the number 1 or 2 greatest need following the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Board did not allow me to do this as my philosophy is to take the BAP at positions of need each round.

Would be thrilled walking out of this draft with Jones and Torrence to shore up the offensive line. That's a lot of beef up front man. I like it. LaPorta in RD4 out of Iowa seems like a steal to me. Wasn't overly impressed with LT's nephew against the Bulldogs but his overall year was solid for TCU. Parker Washington is a solid WR prospect as well. Good picks!

Thanks. Our line has been good with pass protection lately, but they leave a lot to be desired in the run game. That's why I couldn't pass on Torrence in round 2. I agree with you about LaPorta and Washington. LaPorta seems to possess similar traits to Evan Engram in that he seems to always get open and is very good after the catch. Having both he and Engram on the field on passing downs would be tough for defenses to deal with. I was surprised Washington decided to enter the draft since he had another year of eligibility. As a Penn State fan I saw a lot of him and he is a very reliable receiver who could replace Marvin Jones.
