Talent in the secondary

by keeftan on Aug 8, 2009 2:32 PM EDT

Going into the season, this team has an abundance of talent in the secondary at DB. Mathis a 2nd round pick, Nelson a 1st round pick, Alexander a 2nd round pick, Cox a 3rd pick, Brian Williams a 3rd rounder I believe from the Vikes and Considine a 4th rounder from the Eagles and bringing back Marlon Mcree too. Throw in all the other DB's we have acquired from other team's practice squad's, Kenard Cox via the Packers, Tyron Brackenridge via the Chiefs and now Carey from the Brown's (all though he won't contribute if at all until next year it seams). Ketchman really likes Kenard as he has publicly stated on JTW and in his column's. I really like the way things are shaping up in training camp thus far. Smith has done an incredible job bringing in plenty of talent to challenge the veterans this season. Should be fun to see how it all plays out. The Jaguars should be able to field an above average secondary with what they've got currently on the roster. What are your thoughts on the DB's so far?

I really like everything I'm hearing

But other than Mathis and Brian Williams I’m not completely sure how any of them will perform.
I haven’t seen Kennard or Derek Cox. I don’t know how Considine or Nelson will fit in this system. I haven’t seen Gerald Alexander play either. So there are a lot of unkowns. And draft positions don’t really sooth me. It means very little to me.

Regardless of where the player was picked

This secondary should be able to compete at a high level. Smith did a good job of bringing in the most available talent he could. I’m not saying we’ll be at the top in passing defense, but I fully expect our numbers to improve in that category. If they don’t, then I’ll be very disappointed in the Coaching staff. They should be able to get something out of all this talent this season.
