Jags Draft

[JeffreyS]

I am choosing Floyd I think he is the best receiver.

I just want somebody who catches the ball and doesnt drop it 

[CG7]

if we pick at 7, then Claiborne. If we move back, Floyd.

[I-10east]

I'm like Jeffery and DD on this one, someone who can catch the ball. Blackmon is probably not going to be there, so I picked Floyd who knows, MF might turn out to be the best overall wideout. I think that we are pretty solid at CB with Mathis, Cox, and Ross, and right now a WR is more important than adding another CB. I truly believe in the philosophy of "picking the best player to fill in a weak position that's needed on the team" and not the "best player overall".

Claiborne at 7 if he's there (questionable).  Melvin Ingram if Claiborne's not there at 7 and we can't trade down.  Michael Floyd if Claiborne's not there at 7 but we can trade down a few spots.

I like Floyd over any of those receivers.  Claiborne is slow, Blackmon is already battling concussions.  I'd be happy with any of the three; but let's be honest with ourselves, Gene is going to pick someone we aren't expecting.  Not saying that's a bad thing, just that it's the trend.

YES! when we selected Gabbert last year I almost pied in my pants because I was not expecting that.! You never know what they have up their sleeves for sure.

Claiborne is a shut down corner and you can never have enough cover corners in this league. However, there are very few elite prospects in this draft and it is extremely deep at WR. Ideally, the Jaguars would somehow find a partner to trade down with for some new draft picks. Think about it like this. Trading down to the middle of the first would probably garner an extra 2nd and maybe a 4th. Now look at DraftCountdown's top 100 players (http://www.draftcountdown.com/Rankings/TOP.php) and imagine having 2 second rounds. Now what if the Jags somehow traded down twice? Wouldn't that be a windfall? Maybe 3 2nds?

Hypothetically. In the middle of the first to the end of the 2nd, DraftCountdown has ... Kendall Wright, Reuben Randle, Stephen Hill, Alshon Jeffery, and Mohamed Sanu available.

Now if the Jags had to stand pat at 7, I would not rule out anyone who fits the GM Gene mold. Consistently productive, gives it his all every play (high motor), generally clean character sheet, accolades (team captain/all conference/etc). Keep these in mind, because its a common theme among all Jaguars draft picks under GM Gene.

If I had to pick from that list, I'd take Claiborne, Floyd and then Cox. If I had my choice though, I would trade back.

This draft stinks for WRs, the likes of Jimmy Smith. We had our chances in Free Agency and choked, we went for 2nd best with the hope we could luck out for a 5th, 6th, 7th round WR. Same old Jags. Blackmon is the best WR, but he is just OK, a 6-1 WR, and has questions across the middle.

Cobles could be a pick at DE, everyone wants Ingram, but he is an OLB, and we already have a solid LB core, so what, he plays behind someone? Boring! Bring out a stud 6-6 DE to be a force for years to come.

So I hear that Pot Roast got popped in the eye with a bottle while out at a nightclub last night. He had to have emergency eye surgery today. Hopefully he recovers ok. That definitely would throw a wrench in our draft plans if not.

The WR's in free agency were thin also. This is not a very good year for WR's at all. And trust the Jags need wide receivers but are not crazy. The Browns and few other extremely receiver needy teams backed up off as well because of what those guys were being offered from Washington and others. Nobody is pratically gonna break the bank on one player. ( no one with sense anyways). Alot of those guys got SEVERELY overpaid. Why do you think NOBODY wants Mike Wallace. A team would have to give up a first round pick and he wants to be paid $100 million dollars. nobody in their right might is going to do that, and no one has. Robinson was the only logical and level choice at that point. It is what it is. There are too many teams and not enough wide receivers out there right now. I but Im sure you disagree though LOL

Hey shyt happens. Thats life I guess. As long as he's ready by September, Im really not worrid about it. Now if they said he was found at a buffet slumped over from a heart attack then I would be worried. LMAO ROFL

[Gators312]

Emergency eye surgery doesn't sound good, especially if he loses sight in that eye.  Does he continue to play if blindness threatens?

As for the draft, I agree with trading back and amassing some more picks.  I think Alshon Jeffery will be a great receiver.  He goes and gets the ball.   If they can trade back and get him with additional picks this would be best plan of action.   

If they draft @ 7 I would rather them take Floyd over Claiborne.  Floyd is moving up on some boards and if Blackmon and Floyd are gone, trading out becomes even more important.  Wasting 7 on another Harvey or Groves type is probably what Gene Gene will do, but a guy can hope right?
