We have fulfilled needs, waited to take WR’s where we thought they were value. But also not been afraid to trade up to get someone they see as a great talent

Mike Thomas Conference call

The following is a transcript of Mike Thomas’ conference call with the Jacksonville Media following his selection in the fourth

round of the 2009 NFL Draft.

(on the last undersized player that was drafted by the Jaguars from the Pac-10, Maurice Jones-Drew, being pretty good. What are your expectations?) "The sky is the limit for me. Obviously I know there are some intangibles that I possess and I know the blessings that the Lord has given me. I’m there to play ball. I have been playing since I was five. I feel like I have a real knack for just making plays. I’m ready, I’m determined. I want to get in the league and stick. I want to get with the Jaguars and stick. I’m real excited. I’m ready to get to work."

(on if this is about where you thought you would get drafted) "It’s a little lower. The draft is crazy and you never really know how it’s going to work out. Obviously I had expectations for myself and I know I worked hard to put myself in the position to get drafted earlier than this. You take your cards and you play them. Things work out how they are going to work out. I don’t have any control over what happened. I’m honored and I think it’s a real blessing."

(on Maurice Jones-Drew coming in here unhappy because he felt like he was downsized because of his size and if you have that same type of feeling) "Definitely. I think it’s going to fuel my fire inside. I’ve always even at Arizona got knocked down for being 5’8, 5-7 or whatever you want to call it, something that is out of my control. I definitely think that is going to spark my fuse and it’s already sparked my fuse. I’m just ready to get going."

(on what you did at the Senior Bowl that caught the Jaguars eye) "I was just being myself, doing what I usually do. Just playing ball and obviously they saw some things in me they liked. To be wanted by a team and I honestly feel like they want me and they are going to try and utilize me as much as possible. I really feel that and I wouldn’t rather be in any other place."

(on if the Jaguars are a perfect fit and to be able to play with Torry Holt) "To come in and have a model like that (Torry Holt), it’s going to be amazing. I’m going to get right under his armpit and soak as much information from him as I can and watch him every day. I hope he takes me in as one of his little brothers, just try to teach me the way. I’m going to be like a little sponge and I couldn’t ask for any more."

(on if you are going to be a little bit of a fresh air for the wide receivers in Jacksonville) "I hope so. I’m just going to come in and be myself and try to get accepted. I’m trying to be accepted into the family. I’m going to be myself and try to have fun and live and learn and everything I need to do."

(on if you returned kicks into college) "I did kickoffs here and there. I did punt returns my last year in college."

(his agent) "Ron Slaven."

(on where he grew up) "I grew up in Dallas, Texas."

(on why you chose Arizona) "The Stoops’ brothers , I was always kind of intrigued with their history. I knew I had a chance to go to Arizona and start right away. It’s the Pac-10, obviously a strong conference. I was just ready to get out of Texas. At the time the Big 12 wasn’t really popping the way it has been the last couple of years. I was ready for a change so I went to the west coast. It worked out good for me there."

(on if anyone in your family plays football) "No. I am the first one, the starter of a legacy. I have one little brother. He plays basketball. He is a little hoops star. He is my height already and he’s eleven years old."

(on if he is 5’8 or 5’7) "I’m 5’8, 5’9 on a good day."

(on if he has missed a game in his career) "I don’t think I have missed a game."

(any injuries) "I had a broken hand toward the last game of the season but that is it."

(on if you are proud to be the Pac-10’s all-time receiver) "Yes. It’s a great little attribute to have on your resume as far as records. I’m pleased to be that guy."

(on what Eben Britton’s is like) "I think the team, coaches and everybody will love Eben. He’s a great guy, a leader. As o-linemen, it starts with them. I think he is everything an o-linemen needs to be and much more."

I'd like another Safety prospect...

… but once we’re down this low I know if you can draft by need. IMHO each guy has to at least have the potential to be a starter and that thins it down quite a bit.

Another transcript from gene about the 3rd round

on Terrance Knighton) "Terrance is a guy that we feel very strong about. Thought there was a chance that we would lose him late last night or early today. He’s 6-032. He’s 317 pounds. He ran sub-five flat; he’s a 4.9 guy. Actually, in high school in played wide receiver and tight end and defensive end. He was All-State player as a skill athlete; he was a basketball player. He went to Temple after Milford Prep (Academy) and each year got better. Al Golden is the head football coach there. He took that job when he left the University of Virginia. Again, he spoke very highly of Terrance. Actually a guy I played college football with is on that staff and everybody there endorsed this player. Certainly when you look at the tackle position in the draft, we thought that he was probably the one guy left that has the ability to be an eventual starter. He’s got ready-made size. The arrow’s up on his development. He did play in the Texas versus the nation game. He was at the Combine. We just, again, knew he would go late two, early three at the latest if we had some good fortune. And we had another player come to us and we stayed with our board and we felt like we got value and got a good young player up front defensively."

(can he start this year?) "I would never say any of our players are going to come in here day one and start. I trust our coaching staff, and every player on this roster has an opportunity to come in and compete to be our starter. We felt like this guy would definitely strengthen the group that we have at the tackle position."

(on Derek Cox) "The next player we brought in on a visit, we did a lot of work on this guy. The last player that I actually evaluated out of there myself was Darren Sharper when he came out of William and Mary. Like I said, we brought him in on one of our 30 visits. He’s an outstanding individual. Terrance is a one-time team-elected captain; this guy is a two-time team-elected captain. Coach (Jimmye) Laycock has been there 29 years, and it’s rare that they have two-time captains, but this guy in the spring was 6-012, he was 190 pounds. He ran 4.39. He had two punt returns out of 12 opportunities that he returned for touchdowns. We do feel he’s a guy who can come in and compete at the corner position, give us special team value, outstanding character. We were hoping in the third round that he would be there and certainly it fell that way. So again, to get the two players going into the second day for value, we made the move with New England and basically we gave up the (round) two pick next year and to close it, a seven (round pick) this year to secure the second of two players that we did target going in today based on our board."

(why did you trade away your second round pick for next year?) "You get a guy a year early, a guy that you feel is a second-round talent. That’s why you do it. Certainly when you’re given a pick for next year you have to feel that this guy has second-round type talent. So from that standpoint we felt very comfortable with it. We get a player a year early and again a player that has done it on the field and he’s done it off the field."

(if you believe Cox has second-round value, why do you think he was glossed over?) "I know you guys don’t study the amount of tape as the scouts, and we felt very comfortable with a) Terrance and b) with him because of the fact we thought late second, early third there were players that our staff, coaching and player personnel, really liked, we did a lot of work on, and we’re very happy to have both of them."

(trading for Cox was a gutsy move. What happened to cause you to do something this bold?) "I think you’re looking at two tackles, a defensive lineman and a corner, all of them are at premium positions. Obviously the first one is quarterback but it’s a position, I think, that I know us and I think you tell out in the open market and certainly in the draft that people covet if you have a strong affection for a player. So we’ll trust our eyes. Obviously, Terrance and Derek have an opportunity to come in here and compete, to help us win games, and I feel very confident in their abilities."

(who was the area scout that evaluated Cox?) "We have a number of people that do them. We typically, on guys that we draft, we have multiple evaluations. In the northeast it’s Chris Prescott."

(so this is Chris’ guy?) "It’s our guy. You’ve got to understand now, when you have a player that we select, it’s not Gene Smith’s guy. It’s not one scout’s guy. It’s a staff evaluation because we put a lot of eyes on a lot of guys. So I just want you to understand that he is the regional scout, but we have many evaluations done on players."

(you’re crazy about Cox, right?) "We feel that we got the two guys that we felt very strong about on our board as a staff, as well as the two tackles yesterday."

(do you think Cox has starter ability? Could he push Brian Williams back to safety?) "It gives us some position versatility, for sure. Obviously if we take any player in the first or second round, and I think you made a good point because I do believe that; we feel he has starter ability. So at some point, do we think they’ll be eventual starters? Yes. We’re going to trust our eyes on the tape and they’re two players we feel very good about. It’s amazing, I have more questions about our two thirds than maybe I did about the first two but that’s ok because they’re players on the second day of the draft. Although they were a little bit under the radar, they weren’t from a player personnel standpoint."

(do you think you got caught up in him being a work out wonder?) "No, not at all."

(he did it on the field, right?) "Yes."

(is he a big-time punt returner?) "No, I wouldn’t say a big-time punt returner. He had 12 returns; he had two of them for touchdowns. Can he do it? Yes. We feel he can play special teams in other areas as well. We liked him as a corner and I feel very confident in his abilities. I think when you look at it, too, like in the draft, what people typically do around the league is futures are one round higher but you’ve got to make sure when you make a move like that, you feel confident he can play to that level. And we do. And again, to get the two tackles, come back and the defensive tackle was still there and then the corner that we liked, he was the guy. I’m very happy. I really am."

(so you felt there was no way Cox was going to last to the next round?) "No. It was very difficult to get any of the picks in front of us. I worked last night. Terry (McDonough) worked last night after the draft. We felt very good, not just about both of these players but a number of other players, and they came right off in front of us."

(were these players the best on your value board at the time you picked them?) "Yeah, we feel very good about them."

(Cox was the 106th rated cornerback) "Judge him when he gets here. All I can tell you is I respect what you do. You’re not sitting there watching all the tape and we’ll trust our eyes on this one and see what Derek becomes. Because again, we’re very happy and I knew I would have more questions so I think that’s fair."

(does Cox have potential to return kickoffs, too?) "He may be able to. Again, he’s had limited history but on limited history he’s had very good success. We like his history at corner the best. An outstanding individual and then on top of it everything postseason, from a workout standpoint, validated what we saw on film. And so he wasn’t a combine invite. We brought him in on a visit and that was even better And then like I said, we had a lot of exposure to Terrance as well and we felt very good about his upside, too."

(was Knighton at the combine?) "Knighton, yes. Cox, no."

(Cox did a pro day at school, right?) "Yes."

(do you have him at 6-0 or 6-1?) "He’s 6-012."

(why wasn’t Knighton invited to the combine?) "That’s a good question. There are like 30 guys every year that get drafted that aren’t invited. "

(but not usually third round prospects) "There was one taken yesterday, actually in the second round."

(who was that?) "The Raiders took him, out of Ohio."

(why is it notable that they’re team captains?) "Since I became the director of college scouting, it’s an emphasis that I put on, and it’s team-elected captain. To me that’s very important, what their peers think of them. I think that tells a lot about how they conduct business, and certainly when someone is a two-time (captain), I think it speaks volumes. I really do but it starts with the talent and then it obviously goes to character, it goes to medical. I appreciate all the questions because they’re very good ones."

(in other words, if Cox played at Ohio State, he’d be a first round pick?) "You never know."

(did he fall because he attended William and Mary?) "It could be. I have a lot of respect for that program, though. The last time I was there it was Darren Sharper for me. The head coach has been there a long time. We have good contacts on that staff. We feel like we have good information on him. We have plenty of tape to evaluate. I don’t know what the future holds for any of our players. There are so many variables that play into their success, but I feel very confident in these two."

(did he go up against any big-time receivers?) "They play Virginia Tech. They played North Carolina State this year. We looked at both years. We try to get the best people they play against. Richmond won the national championship; he had a punt return in that game. You could go through this season and last season and I think you’ll see a player that continued to get better, a player with good play history and a player that just happens to be from William and Mary. I know when Rashean (Mathis) was drafted I got the same questions, ‘You drafted a guy because he’s from Jacksonville.’ We drafted a good player that just happens to be from Jacksonville. He chose Bethune-Cookman. This gentleman chose William and Mary, and so I’m not going to hold that against him on draft day. We scout the player and not the school."

(what is Cox’s weight?) "188 is his verified weight."

(was there any hesitation or pause in trading for Cox?) "Certainly if you have guys at the bottom end of two or anywhere in the second round, but if a guy slides to the bottom end of two, we didn’t know if that would happen last night. They were still on the board. We got a chance to get them at the top end of three. Some of the guys in the second round that we had were gone by the time we were picking. So you just stay with the board. There is, I think, an opportunity to garner value early the second day. If you trust your grades, that’s the big thing, and we felt like we stayed with our board."

On another Note. 3rd round grade S Derek Pegues of Miss State is available. He played SS and can play both as well as corner. He played FS well at Senior Bowl

FS Keith Fitzhugh of Miss State is also available. He hits well but will likely go undrafted. We do need depth.

Damn ESPN

Why did they have to have that pale, anemic looking Jags fan in the balcony on tv…

That's why I was confused...

I am retarded, or did ESPN have Zach Miller as TE? Or did I see the name and jumped on TE?

Originally recruited to the Nebraska Cornhuskers as on option QB, but when Head Coach Frank Solich left, so did Miller. He started for 3 years at QB, and finished as UNO’s all time leading scorer. He was invited to the Cactus Bowl (Division II All Star Game), but he was asked to show up as a TE. He only had a week of practice (after a month of preparation) and ended the game with 5 catches for 115 yards. He was not invited to the Scouting Combine so scouts were very interested to see what kind of numbers he could put up at his Pro Day. He did not disappoint and ran a 4.53 40 yard dash, and had a 37 1/2" vertical.

11. Zach Miller, Nebraska-Omaha 6’4" 233 – Zach Miller, make room for another Zach Miller. The 2009 draft version of Miller is an option QB who is ultraathletic and flashed great potential in a one week audition as a TE at the Cactus Bowl, an all-star game for small school players. He could be the Matt Jones of pass catching H-Back/TEs.

Sounds like a project player

Sounds like this guy is a version of Heath Miller, just needs a lot of coaching up.

Hmmm...

Scouts compare him to another Nebraska product with a similar build and athleticism — Jay Novacek, who played his high school ball in Gothenburg. Miller is from Wahoo.

It was Matt's rookie year

Then they realized Matt doesn’t run, pass or catch well so they stopped

oh yeah...

but they haven’t gone back to it since then.

ON ZACH MILLER

03/13/09 – Nebraska-Omaha Pro day: This workout was done indoors on FieldTurf. Twenty teams, including Jaguars tight ends coach Mike Tice, who orchestrated the work out, were present. The one notable prospect was TE Zach Miller (6-4, 233 pounds). He ran a 4.53 and 4.54 in the 40, had a 37 1/2-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot, 4-inch broad jump, a 4.22 short shuttle and a 7.06 three-cone drill. He was unable to lift because he tore a tendon in his hand, but he still excelled in the positional drills catching the football. He reminds me of a Jay Novacek, Dallas Clark-type player. – Gil Brandt, NFL.com

NFL.com commentary

Miller was a quarterback and transitioned into a tight end. He ran unbelievably fast at his pro day. He’s another developmental project, but guys who can run that fast are worth the pick. He’s big, fast and athletic.

4.22 short shuttle for his size?

His measurables are outrageously awesome. I wanna see more on this kid. A TE that runs a 4.5. I’ll take it.

Character and Chemisrty

Folks, this is a completely new football team, replete with players of character. Look at who we got rid of (Jones, Williams, Barnes, Porter, Florence, etc.) … look at the free agents we signed (Thomas, Considine, Holt) … and look at the guys we’ve picked the past two days: smart guys, character guys, hard workers, team captains. This has all morphed into a watershed moment for this franchise. You can take issue with a pick here and there (I certainly question giving up next year’s 2), but you cannot question the positive direction of this team and its chemistry. Congratulations to everyone responsible for making it happen.
