2012 NFL Draft

[tufsu1]

Only a 4th Round pick to move up 2 spots and get the #1 player at the #1 position of need.
Very solid move.

yeah...compare that to what Cleveland gave up to Minnesota just to move up one spot

I'm perfectly content
exciting pick
he probably would have been there if we waited until #7
but happy nonetheless. like the style, aggressive.

I don't think he would have made it past the Rams.  They traded out after the Jags selected Blackmon.

Im just getting in from the Draft Party at the town center and could not be happier at the moment. Now its time to plug the other holes.

[CityLife]

A lot of the draft "gurus" expected Blackmon to be gone before 7. Giving up a 4th to ensure that we got him is great business imo.

Check out this Sports Science piece on Blackmon from a few months back. He's a beast.

Okay guys who do you pick? RG3 or Luck? I'd take RG3. He can not only throw, but he can scramble, run and block. I seen a clip when he ran down the field and blocked for his receiver to get a TD! You dont get any better than that IMO.

Don't get me started on how bad my Browns crapped the bed tonight. There aren't words to describe how awful this was.

RG3!! I'm a huge fan of mobile QB's.

Loser: Justin Blackmon


Don't you just love the national media and their asinine view of Jacksonville.
This was on Fox Sports "Winners and Losers" in last night's draft.
Fox Sports this is getting very old now. Find someone else to pick on.


Blackmon went fifth overall and he’s a loser? It's hard to believe, but the two-time Biletnikoff Award winner is going to Jacksonville, a place where they hang tarps over upper-deck seating to reduce stadium capacity and avoid non-sellout TV blackouts. New head coach Mike Mularkey wants to bring the aerial assault to Jacksonville, but quarterback Blaine Gabbert struggled mightily in his rookie season and may continue to do so with a moth-eaten offensive line. Blackmon could be in for a rough slog.

I'm quite happy with this selection. I wasn't expecting it, but I'm pleased nonetheless.

[copperfiend]

I honestly don't think they could have made a better pick. I Ihave not talked to one disappointed person this morning. There is some buzz around town today. Can't wait to see him in person at the mini-camp next week.

[comncense]

Avonjax, the real loser is Jarett Dillard. He definitely won't last through training camp and probably will find himself out of the league after he's cut.

I love the pick though. I'd love to see the Jags get Stephen Hill next, but I won't be mad if we go after a DE in the second round.

Me too - it just depends on where the chips fall as far as who's available.

The thing is, he we would have went to a bad team anyways unless a good one traded up for him. The teams with the worst records get the first picks. He would have been on a team with a losing record regardless. However, I am use to people taking a jab at Jacksonville whenever they can. Its expected. Its common. The best thing to do is prove them wrong.

An its killing me how everytime the mention they said " The leagues worst offense." I check and in 2010 The Pathners had "the leauges worst offense." I NEVER recalled them running it in the ground when they mentioned the Panthers. The would mention how bad the team was doing, but they never ran it into the ground like they do us. And we actually have a better record than Carolina with a #32 offense. (5-11 and they were 2-14)

Where are all the bandwagon fuckers?

I better see a report by the end of the day that the team sold something like 32k new season tickets today.
