Another set of bold predictions
1. Seattle will draft Mark Sanchez at #4, derailing the Jaguars best hope of trading out of the eight pick.
2. Michael Crabtree will fall and be available at #8. However, his injury history will make Gene Smith not pull the trigger on him and will also make teams not offer enough to get the Jags to trade out.
3. At approximately 5:16 PM EST, we will hear the words "With the eight selection in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select, Andre Smith, Tackle, Alabama."
4. Some team is going to take a gamble and select Pat White in the 2nd round
5. The offensive line theme will continue in the 2nd round and either Alex Mack or Max Unger will be the pick.
6. Not really a prediction, but just stop and think of this offensive line on opening day
LT: Tra Thomas
LG: Vince Manuwai
C: Brad Meester/2nd round pick(Headline camp battle, anyone?)
RG: Tony Pashos
RT: Andre Smith
7. The number of times we'll hear an ESPN talking head say the Jaguars messed up with trading Marcus Stroud and should have taken BJ Raji.
8. Shack Harris' administration started off with the longest rookie holdout in franchise history. I say Gene Smith will make sure whoever the first round pick is one of the first five signed.
That's it for me, see everyone on draft day

[Editor's note: SilenceCS - Just wanted to make one more bold prediction for the draft. This weekend will be John Henderson's last weekend in teal. He'll be part of a draft-day trade. It was nice knowing you, Henderson...]

I think you could get
a 100 percent on these. None of them are really too outlandish. I think someone might reach for Pat White, as well. Hadn’t thought about it, but it just makes too much sense with a QB crazy league. I don’t know if Gene would pass on Crabtree though. It could be interesting. If he did, I think it would be more as a statement. Either way, I like the Andre Smith pick. Bolster that line in a hurry. Give the Jaguars instant credibility in the running game.
Hmmmmm.......
this is bold. I’m not sold that they will pass on Crabtree due to injuries. Have you seen his interviews, he seems uneducated and has a T.O. like aura to him. If they pass on Crabtree it will be character concerns. I honestly wouldn’t be disappointed with the Andre Smith pick. Remember, it all starts in the trenches.
Thanks for the memories Fred, the #1 back on my roster
THE FIRST SET OF COUNTER -BOLD PREDICTIONS
1. Even if Sanchez is drafted there is a chance one or even two of the premier LTs are available (Monroe, Smith) and a possibility that Raji or Crabtree will still be there. Teams like Sanchez but there are some other players that some teams will think are worth trading up for.
2. Gene Smith could pull the trigger if Crabtree is the BAP. Crabtree’s injury has been overblown and he is still the best WR in the draft.
3. A likely scenario but I think the Jaguars will have the opportunity to trade the pick and not just in the 1st. The 2nd round also.
4. Pat White is a gem of a player. He could very well be the next Bree’s or Garrard or Vick 2.0. He is a very talented player and he should not be overlooked.
5. I think the BAP theme will continue.
6. What’s to think about? Some old guys and a rookie who hasn’t played a single down in the NFL.
7. ESPN has quickly become the most decorated piece of shit network.
8. Gene ain’t Shack but he ain’t God either. If a player wants to hold out he will.
Amen to 7
I hate when games I actually want to watch are on ESPN, because it means I have no choice but to watch ESPN. I never have it on otherwise.

Agree with all points but Crabtree
I like Crabtree as a player but the Jags have some other glaring needs such as DT if Raji and Crabtree are available please Gene go DT because that is more of a need the WR.
As for Pat White he is a diamond in the rough player that could very well be our next QB and getting him in the 2nd means that we will get him for cheap.
As for Gene Vs Shack Gene has already demonstrated that he is way more fit for the position than Shack ever was.
As for the critics on ESPN they wouldn’t know a good team from a hole in the ground i pay them no attention.
Thats my take whats yours

Mo Williams.....
He doesn’t fit in there???
Are you sure??
He's the superbackup
If Mo is depth, the Jags are in great shape.

I think you are right about us taking Andre Smith..
but I’m hoping it’s Raji. We have addressed the o line and can pick someone up in the 2nd or 3rd round, perhaps a center, for depth. Our defensive line, especislly the middle, needs some beef.
#1 prediction
I was just reading about how the Seahawks we’re claiming they will pick a tackle at 4. It was on the ESPN rumor thing so can’t put too much into it. But they brought it up because the Chiefs want to trade down and they can’t do it unless there’s a major threat of Sanchez getting picked by Seattle.
So theoretically, if Sanchez gets past the Seahawks we have a great chance of someone trading us picks because they know we will pick him if he’s still on the board at 8. Between Seattle and us, none of those teams are taking Sanchez.
Man I hope we can trade down. For Wayne Weaver’s sake at the very least ($$$)!
I'm not so sure
Andre Smith is going to be there at eight for the Jags to select. He could go as high as number two to St. Louis or number six to Cincinnati.
If you ever run into a Titans fan just say "Mike Jones! WHO?!? Mike Jones! WHO?!? Mike Jones!"
Now let's see(my take on John's list):
1: I think with Sanchez off the board, jaguars will still can trade down(Denver-Raji-anyone?)
2: I agree, The Jaguars will not pick a WR with eight (some kind of “bold” prediction by me)
3. Andre Smith will be off the board when the Jaguars pick!
4. Strong possibilty
5: If Unger or mack is there, and the jaguars can’t trade down, the possibilty for drafting one of them is BIG!
6: I cannot make predictions just yet!
7: Mel Kiper have another stupid scenario for the jags, if they not picking like he thought. But do not pay attention to him. Reason: Jason Taylor-how that trade was helped the Redskins, huh?….
8: Hope it will happen. If the jaguars can trade down from 8th I say it is almost a lock, at 8th, can be difficult…
+1 Collins’s take. I hope that’s not happen, only if the Jaguars can receive something big for him(1st-2nd rounder, or a player in his caliber-not in his position, but anywhere!), otherwise, I don’t like the idea.

Clevland passing on Crabtree
Rumor has been going around that Cleavland is going to pass on Crabtree
by jesusjagfan2009 on Apr 24, 2009 10:03 AM EDT up reply actions
Then Al Davis
will catch him. And who will be Cleveland’s pick by the way?
by Zoltan from Budapest on Apr 24, 2009 10:39 AM EDT up reply actions
not sure
haven’t heard much on who they are looking at maybe Maclin if he is avail because with the chance of Edwards being traded out they need a WR
by jesusjagfan2009 on Apr 24, 2009 1:10 PM EDT up reply actions
Agree with Zolton
We actually have about 3 different trade down sceneros. Sanchez, Either Monroe or Raji. We all know that Denver, Washigtion and the Jets want Sanchez so if he is on the board that will gurantee us a bidding war for our spot which Denver would be a good partner because we would only drop 4 spots. With Monroe or smith our partner would most likley be Bufflalo becaue they need a LT bad with the departure of Jason peters to Phily, With Raji in comes denver again or maybe a far fetch guess to say possibly Tennessee or Indy because they need a DT bad and Denver wants Raji before Green Bay gets him
Time will tell thats my take whats yours
by jesusjagfan2009 on Apr 24, 2009 1:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Unger good pick
I would be happy if we drafted Unger. please no WR at 8
by jesusjagfan2009 on Apr 24, 2009 1:09 PM EDT up reply actions
I think if Raji
is aviable, then we might get a trade offer from teams, to name it Denver.
By the way Terry McDonough said this about Raji:
“I think [Raji] has cleaned himself up in teams’ eyes over this last week where people feel more comfortable with him,” said McDonough, referring to the publicity given the initial false combine reports.
What that could mean? The Jaguars are also changed their mind about him? Or it means if he is aviable, there is a good trade possibility?

I don't get
the love fest with Andre Smith. To me, he’s a fat guy that plays football, not an athlete. Did Tony Boselli ever look like that? I don’t think so.
If Smith is taken
how difficult would it be for Pashos to move over to RG? I honestly do not know how the different the two skill sets are.
