:D typo on my part.

Definitely not at 10. Early 2nd round? Sure.
And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

That's better... I was gonna say, you've REALLY been snowed, b/c you are normally more reasonable on topics-Jaguars than that....  But from what I'm hearing he will probably get taken late 1st or very early 2nd.  There's no way to get an early 2nd rounder because they're held by teams above us in the 1st, and we can't trade down with them.

Profootballtalk (which I generally loathe but am looking at today) says: 

No one knows where Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will be drafted. But the people around Tebow are dropping some strong hints that some team has already told them that Tebow is their man.

Tebow's father, Bob Tebow, claims his son is going in the first 15 picks. And Tebow's agent, Jimmy Sexton, told ESPN.com that he has a very good idea where Tebow will be drafted, and hints that it's higher than most people think.

"I don't know if it's gonna shock the world because I always thought he was going to do well," Sexton said. "But we pretty much know. We have a pretty good idea what's going to happen."

Of course, it's impossible for any player to know for sure where he's going to go until he hears his name called at Radio City Music Hall. Not even Sam Bradford knows for sure where he's going to go.

But the Tebow camp says they have a good idea. And they sound like they're pleased with where they think they're going.

The unfortunate thing about drafting Tebow at all, is that this fan base will insist that he start after David Garrard's first interception or the offense doesn't score in their first possession of the season.  If Jack and David are able to win and keep the hounds off, they would still want Tebow to start at QB.  When Tebow gets his shot and fails, then it is the offensive coordinator/receivers/offensive line/Roar member/hot dog vendor's fault that he didn't do well.  
And do you really think that he is going to sell season tickets?  90% of the fans clamoring for drafting Tebow don't even go to Gainesville for Gator games!  UF had to return over 5,000 unsold tickets from the Sugar Bowl even though it was Tebow's last game.  These people like to watch Tebow on TV and even if the game is blacked out, they would rather wait until Monday night to watch the rerun on-line than buy a ticket.
If the Jaguars do draft him, please wait until the 2nd round if we can pick up a 2nd round pick!

If Tebow gets drafted he will definatly need a year or two, to adjust to the NFL style and to polish and learn. No matter who gets him.

Id rather see him learn here in the Jags then anywhere else. Plus as said before, his milkshake brings all the Gators to the yard, and the Jags couldnt hurt with that extra revenue.

Jags, Come for the Tebow. Stay for the Jags.

I'm hoping for a good outcome for the Jags. I'm not really knowledgable enough to go any further than that.

I do get that Tebow might not fit as a prototypical NFL QB, but I hope the best for him too. All the TT talk has
been tiring, but he is a hometown kid, a phenomenally accomplished college athlete, and a heckuva fine young man as well.

Whatever happens, I'd like to see the Tebow worship and hate subside.

Have you tried National Football Post?  It's about as current on news and rumors as ProFootballTalk without most of the loathesome elements, e.g. reflexive shots at Jacksonville.

Ok, why is he having a news conference at 6pm?

If he is doing it to toot his own horn, then you're going to have a lot more annoyed people because you think you're all that and a side of grits.
