2nd Jaguars Final Draft Summary at SBN's MockingtheDraft.com
After a tedious 7th round mock draft performed at MockingtheDraft.com, it is over at least for now. After a lot of hard mocking, I and Socalstites did our mock for the Jaguars.
Representatives for each team came from other SBN blogs and where fans of their teams. I offer thanks to AngelsColts and JP 23, Colt and Dolphin fans respectively. More over the Jump.
Trades:
- Jaguars trade their 4th round pick for the Panthers 4th and 7th.
(Featuring: Scouting Analysis from Lindy's Sports Pro Football Draft: Trench Warfare Draft book, scouting links, and my own reasoning in italics)
1st round pick- CJ Spiller, RB, Clemson
"Blessed with elite speed, superior elusiveness and return skills (NCAA record seven career kick return touchdowns), Spiller's production and versatility is sure to earn high first-round consideration. Teams will worry about his ability to hold up due to his size, but he didn't miss a game in four seasons at Clemson. CJ Spiller is the best offensive asset in this draft." He creates nightmare matchups and will exceed well in a 2 RB Tandem with the dynamic MJD. I'd expect many 2 RB sets. For more info, click here
3rd round pick- Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
"Tebow's statistics were inflated by Meyer's scheme. He'll need to improve an elongated release (including his low drop point), overall accuracy and feel in the pocket just to remain at quarterback in the NFL. If he can improve his overall his overall mechanics, Tebow has the intangibles every team is looking at quarterback." Tebow is the most controversial player we ever had a chance to draft. In the 3rd round, you can afford to scale back the negatives of an irregular playing style and seize on the benefits, which are discussed enough. For more info, click here
4th round pick- Pat Angerer, MLB, Iowa
"Angerer lacks great size, but his motor, fluidity, awareness in zone coverage and hustle to the ball should intrigue teams looking for a weak-side -- or undersized, active middle -- linebacker in the mid-to-late rounds." Pat Angerer adds much needed competition to the Jack's LB corps, which is something he has always wanted. Hopefully Russell Allen and Pat Angerer will add a spirit to a lifeless middle of the Defense. For more info, click here
5th round pick- Myron Rolle, S, FSU/Oxford
"As if to remind scouts that he remained eligible for the draft following a year at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Rolle elected to participate in the 2010 Senior Bowl. How scouts view his performance there and in workouts before the draft will go a long way determining his draft placement." Myron Rolle is a smart DB, some say being a "Thinker" slows you down on the field, but I'd also point out not being a "Thinker" can be as bad, just watch our fan favorite Reggie Nelson not think. Rolle is a high character player with a chip on his shoulder, something Gene Smith likes. For more info, click here
6th round pick- Jeff Byers, OC, USC
"Byers has started at left guard for three straight years while capably filling in at center, but the sixth-year player has a thick injury history teams will closely review. Byers versatility, intelligence, competitive nature and underrated athleticism give him a chance to have a long NFL career in the pivot." Byers is a capable lineman, the only questionable thing is durability. I think he can contribute and be an asset in the interior line. For more info, click here
7th round pick- George Johnson, DE, Rutgers
"He doesn't have the stats of a first- or second-round pick. but Johnson was asked to sacrifice numbers in head coach Greg Schiano's defense by twisting inside and dropping into coverage. If given the chance to let loose at the next level as either a 4-3 defensive end or 3-4 Linebacker, he could surprise as a mid- to late- round bargain. If you looking to find a gem, here's one. He comes from a small school, (Rutgers), and was forced to struggle in a complex defense that like it said made DE's cover and twist inside. A regular 4-3 defense like we had could best utilize George. For more info, click here

My personal Grade for this draft:
B, the same grade as last time. We got more offensive power (CJ Spiller, Tim Tebow), though I have some second thoughts on passing over Rolando Mcclain. We filled some needs and got BAP value. Of course, we got our share of small school talent. All of these guys have character and talent, and should fit according to Gene Smith, in which We Trust.
Thoughts, or Grades?

This is a good draft bold phraseBESIDES*bold phrase* C.J. Spiller, MJD finally orved himself worthy of being a 3 down back, and now he has to share runs. Rashad Jennings isnt that bad and can be our backup, and you should of drafted BAP/need the best available player for one of our needs or somewhere where we don’t need a replacement.
Okay,
CJ Spiller can be argued as the BAP. You don’t BAP for need, you BAP. That’s the Jaguars philosophy. CJ Spiller can be used as a 2nd RB in a 2 RB system. The benefits of this would be having MJD performing well when he gets into his 30s because he doesn’t have to be the LT. Rashad Jennings is a good backup, but i don’t know if we’d trust him, at a starting or bigger contributor role yet.

I believe that you believe you picked the BAPs,
but you’d have a hard time convincing me Spiller was the BAP over Thomas and that Tebow was the BAP over……anyone.

Tebow was good value in the third
I don’t know why you could argue against getting Tebow in the third. Earl Thomas is under-sized, and I don’t like him at 10th.

I wouldn't use the #10 pick on Darren Sproles.
And so I wouldn’t use it on Spiller. And until I see him be truly special for like 3 straight years in the NFL, I’m just not being convinced otherwise. That’s just me though. Wasn’t criticizing your draft – just disagreeing with it.

True
But I think it’s a mistake to pass on somebody because they remind you of someone who isn’t that great.
No, I would not have used the #10 pick on Chris Johnson if I could have gotten him when the Titans did.
Remember that immediately after that draft, people were saying Johnson was a reach even at the slot he did go. So I would have taken another player with that #10 pick, and targeted Johnson later in the draft with a lower pick. Even trading up from the 2nd round into the bottom of the 1st round would have been better than reaching for Johnson at #10.
In other words, I would not be getting the full value of the #10 pick if I could get the same player later, and that is how I feel about Spiller. He’s not Johnson, he’s not extremely special, and I could get the same player later in the draft.

You could be right about Spiller
His stock could be rising because of success of smaller, versatile backs like Johnson and MJD. There isn’t a guarantee that he will be great. I actually believe that the Jags are in a tough spot this year, because they are too high to draft just anybody, and too low to grab a top player. I hope they trade down and get more picks.
I agree with Spiller over Thomas
I think Thomas is good, but a bit overrated and for some reason I can’t help comparing him to Reggie Nelson in that he sometimes substitutes athleticism for good technique especially when tackling.
I reeeaaaalllly want Spiller on this team. Just read the full CBS report on him and tell me you wouldn’t want him wearing teal on Sundays!
Tebow… still not so sure. I wouldn’t be especially angry with the pick but I wouldn’t be happy either. I don’t think he’s the future of the franchise at the QB position so I just can’t justify the 3rd round pick. I could be wrong though
Thomas
Is miles above Reggie in instincts. This whole Reggie tackling thing is what is overrated. Ed Reed misses more tackles than Nelson, Bob Sanders flies around so fast sometimes ball carriers bounce off of him. Reggie has blown in coverage lately, but everyone is just nit picking at him now.

I think he really can't tackle
I hate bringing up over used examples but you’re never going to tackle Dallas Clark if you try stripping him while running.

Lots of sugar
not a lot of substance. Very imaginable draft though. I hope we have more Derek’s and Knighton’s though.
Well,
thats what happens when you let fans draft for their teams
