45 Days to Go and Mock Drafters Have No Idea Who the Jaguars Want

PrintWell here's a roundup of some mock drafts from around the web and what is clear is that people feel the Jaguars could go many different directions with their 10th overall pick. I looked at 12 different mock drafts and found the names of 9 different prospects drafted by the Jaguars. So have at it Big Cat Country, underneath each of the picks is their explanation for the pick.
Mocking Dan - MockingtheDraft (2/16/10) - DE Derrick Morgan - Georgia Tech
Yes, the Jaguars drafted defensive ends Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves in 2008. However, both have underperformed and are nowhere near the player Morgan can be. The team only had 14 sacks in 2009, a number Morgan could get by himself.)
Pat Kirwan - NFL.com (3/2/10) - S Eric Berry - Tennessee
Berry can play anywhere in the secondary, which means he can match up well on division foes Dallas Clark or Andre Johnson.
Bucky Brooks - NFL.com (2/16/10) - DE Carlos Dunlap - Florida
After registering only 14 sacks, the Jaguars turn to Dunlap to upgrade their non-existent pass rush.
NFLDraftDog.com (2/28/10) - WR Dez Bryant - Oklahoma State
Missing the season shouldn't hurt him, but he is going to miss the combine and his pro day on March 10th due to a tweaked hamstring.
Black & Teal (2/6/10) - LB Rolando McClain - Alabama
McClain can play all three linebacker positions and he would add to an already impressive set of Jaguar Linebackers. McClain would add a solid tackler to the edge of the defense which is currently held by Clint Ingram. Ingram could be gone and having a guy like McClain on the depth chart could prove to be a good decision.
WalterFootball.com (3/3/10) - DE Jason Pierre-Paul - South Florida
It's amazing how much hype Jason Pierre-Paul is getting. He had only one mediocre season (15.5 TFL, 5.5 sacks) in Division 1-A football and showed a lack of interest at times, but he's the second coming of Reggie White because he's 6-5, 270 pounds and runs a 4.64. Forgive me, but I don't subscribe to the Al Davis method of drafting.
Some stupid team will overdraft Pierre-Paul, and it could be the Jaguars. Jacksonville's top need is selling tickets and drawing fan interest. The team's No. 2 need is finding someone who can get to the quarterback. The Jaguars tried the 4-3 and the 3-4 in 2009, but nothing worked. Amazingly, the team finished with just 14 sacks, and no one had more than three. They may think Pierre-Paul can fix this problem.
KFFL.com (3/3/10) - DE Derrick Morgan - Georgia Tech
Can the Jags really spend another high pick on a pass-rushing end? We're not so sure, but JAX's total of 14 sacks last year is pathetic. Dez Bryant a strong possibility.
Daniel Jeremiah - MoveTheSticks.com (3/8/10) - RB Ryan Mathews - Fresno State
Copying the Panthers with a deadly duo at RB
DraftTek.com (3/6/10) - CB Joe Haden - Florida
Rashean Mathis is still a warrior, but has shown some vulnerability - and if you read between the lines of GM Gene Smith, the Jaguars learned from the Saints that coverage is as important as pass-rush in defending Peyton Manning. Joe Haden has the potential to be a "shut-down" CB, and is the best "value" on the board at #10.
Consensus Draft Services (3/8/10) - WR Dez Bryant - Oklahoma State
The Jags desperately need a number one receiver and Bryant is the best one available and gives David Garrard the target he needs.
Pete Prisco - CBSSports.com (3/4/10) - CB Joe Haden - Florida
Even though he didn't run that well at the combine, he is a quality cover player. You can never have enough in a division with Peyton Manning and Matt Schaub.
NewNFLDraft.com (3/8/10) - DT Brian Price - UCLA
I still have the Jags taking price with this pick in the 2010 NFL Mock Draft. I just don’t see them passing on him because he has the most upside out of anyone in this 2010 NFL Mock Draft.

It's the same reason Pierre-Paul is projected as a 1st rounder.
Too much focus on potential and measurables, and not enough on production and dedication.
I'm afraid the tape tells his tale
people keep saying he’s an athletic freak that just isn’t living up to the hype or ability because of his work ethic and etc. But I don’t think so, never did. Yes he’s big. But even the combine assured me of my former assertion about his “athleticism”. He’s just not as athletic as everyone thought. He’s not strong and he’s not fast. Don’t know why he’s even a prospect in the first round.
How is he overrated?
The guy is like 6’6", 290, the best DE on one of the best D lines in the country last year. Guys that big don’t come along everyday.
There’s always a run on pass rushers in the draft b/c there’s always only a few good ones so anything can happen.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
Jarvis Moss and Derrick Harvey were on the best d-line too
And look how their pro careers have turned out so far. Other than Jevon Kearse, there really hasn’t been anybody else whose been a star on the d-line.
The fact that someone
could argue that Cunningham was the better DE at times says something about Dunlap. IMO
I want to see the next round of mocks
I have a feeling that most of them having the Jags pick a DE will change their tune.

Dumbest shit I ever heard. Then watch Morgan gets 2 sacks in two years and is instantly labelled bust. Where is the patience?
Kirwan has an interesting pick but does anyone think Berry will fall to 10?
Dunlap would be a huge reach.
Not taking a WR unless he is the second coming of Andre or Calvin Johnson. Dez isn’t even Mike Thomas.
B&T makes a reasonable pick. McClain would be the anchor in our LBers corps and provide much needed support and leadership.
WalterFootball is ignorant as shit.
KFFL.com thinks like many others we draft for need.
I don’t even know who Ryan Matthews is and have never seen him in any top 10s.
Joe Haden needs a killer pash rush to make up for his lack of speed. Probably would be better as a safety.
I like the Brian Price pick. 3rd best DL men.
Yeah, what didn't get posted on Walter Football, was the 2 paragraph rant after that about how the Jags need to take Tebow or they should just go ahead and pack their stuff up and send it to LA
by Jonathan Loesche on Mar 8, 2010 11:30 PM EST up reply actions
Oh, he has you guys taking Tebow in round 3...
He says that no way you guys leave the draft without Tebow…even if you have to trade.
Walterfotball
is sart to be a joke. That guy trashed the Jags because the pasrush; now we sign Kampman-bad move (because Steelers and Colts do rebuiilding via draft; yeah that’s why Steelers signed 4 or 5 guys in the last 48 hours….)
In the Hungarian site I writing; the site cannot be linked because to quote our editors “we also wrote sometimes stupid thing; at least we are not proud later how stupid we were…”

Matthews wont be there
in the second round. Had he played in the SEC, he would be in the top ten of a lot more Mocks. Crazy thing is, he’s got all the measurables and abilities and techniques and etc and he has all the production you could ever ask for and he’s had that production against the best of defenses. But he plays in the MAC, so he can’t be any good. IMO, he’s easily the second best RB after Spiller.
Well he plays in the WAC
I do agree there’s a bias there, but the WAC plays more spread offenses. WRs and CBs get a good showing out of there.
Me? I’ve never been sold on Mathews, but that’s because I don’t see him as a fit for the Texans offense. Outside of that, I think he should be a 2nd round pick (I’m not that impressed with the “top tier of RBs” aside from Spiller), but I’m willing to bet that San Diego takes him at the tail end of round one.
However, at pick 10? That’s a stretch. Trade back if that’s the case. You may as well pick up some more picks…for to grab Tebow (sorry, couldn’t resist, heh).
I agree
even on Tebow

I agree, who the hell are they to be impatient? They obviously don’t see that Harvey has improved a great deal, and has played his side pretty damn well.
As for Berry, many mocks have the teams before us going crazy picking OTs (with sound reasoning), so it’s actually not as remote as it seems. This would be a godsend.
except personality...

i see a trade back
and brandon graham or earl thomas maybe. that is if berry doesnt mriaclously fall to us. Heres another question. now that we have kampman do u draft Clausen if hes there?
Kampman
doesn’t factor into the draft, whatsoever. In either case, I don’t draft any QB in the top 10 unless his name is Bradford. I don’t know that Bradford will be better than Claussen, but I think I know what Claussen is and I don’t think he’s worth a top ten pick.
If we could trade pick even like 4 spots I would soooo draft Graham or Price or earl Thomas.
Funny how people seem to get
the BAP philosophy until the Jags sign a big free agent and then they can’t seem to understand why it shouldn’t effect who gets drafted.
I would think that the fate of Reggie Heyward, should he not find a new home prior to the draft, would be more tied to who we land in the draft then the draft will be tied to any FA signings.
I would do that
Kampmen frees us up a bit and allows the mockers to fret about mocking our pick.

Yes
If Clausen is the top rated player on their board when they pick. Clausen has a lot of upside, and is a talent that is seemingly overlooked for some reason.
Trade back...
I don’t think there’s any player that really rates a top 10 pick..most of the good players will be gone…unless someone falls like a Eric Berry. I can’t see the jags picking up Dez Bryant based on character issues on most of the mocks don’t make any sense. If the jags can trade back that would the best.

As weird as this sounds,
and I said this before the offseason started, but the top ten is only about 7-8 deep, then there is a bit of a drop in talent. You got Berry, Bradford(needs to be/stay healthy), McCoy, Suh, Okung, Price, Dan Williams(I only question his heart), Earl Thomas(Needs to be able to tackle better)
Walterfootball change the pick
Now it’s Dez Bryant… Congratuation idiot; you proved don’t know nothing about us or football…..
His reason is “because he is the BAP”… In a draftboard where Dan Williams; Joe Haden; Rolando McClain and CJ Spiller is still in(Gene Smith would lick his chops in this scenario)and the Jags proved last year when they can choose from a lineman and a WR they go for the lineman…

This is a great article
Truth is any of these picks will only help us. Other than OT there isn’t a position on the entire team we don’t need to get better at (and we probably need depth at OT too). I would be happy with any of the picks, especially Berry!
I love the title too. Do the mock drafters EVER know who the Jaguars will pick? Half of them probably don’t know where Jacksonville is located. They can’t even agree on who the Rams will pick first.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
My pick for the Jags
Ok. So, if the Jags stay at the #10 spot (which Gene has said he’d like to trade down), I see them taking someone like Haden or McClain. I believe Berry would be gone by 10, but if he’s there, defiantly take him. If the Jags trade down, I see them taking Spiller or maybe Haden if he drops. As far as a DE as a 1st round pick, I wouldn’t say we wouldn’t take one, but we can have more options since we have Kampman now.
Im just as in the dark as the mocker's.........
After Kampman, and Reggie supposedly leaving, I think we will go LB, S, or QB with our first rounder(DE if he is BAP). By the way, is anyone else gonna be in the tele-conference with Gene tonight?

What about Offensive Linemen........
Do we not need to think about giving David a bit more time, and opening a few more holes for MJD? I like getting AK, but what about the O-Line?
or we should go after
that guard the Indy let go, how about that?
Sorry, but I am not up to speed......
Who did Indy let go? I have no problem acquiring players through other means than the draft!

So they got rid of a player based on the opinion of another player?
Was Lilja a regular starter for them? Did he play that bad in the Super Bowl, or are they just getting rid of him so they can make room for new talent?
Polian is there GM or the equivalent of that
so he didn’t like Lilja anymore. lilja was a regular starter. I thought he was okay but definitely not as bad as Polian says. I think they’ll want new talent now.

Obviously Walter wasn't listening to the Dude's story
As much as I like coming to this site and reading the good stories and intelligent banter that goes back and forth, I just wanted to add to the dislike and comment on the dumbness of Walter’s mock draft. See like every year I simply search for “updated 20XX nfl mock draft” and every year he comes up. This year he had us taking Timmy until like last month. enough hate.
I don’t care who we draft, cause regardless of who it is he will be the BAP and contribute early. Personally would like McClain or if Berry is gone Mays. I don’t feel the brass would pull the trigger on Kampman if the docs didn’t give their ok, but don’t rush to pay a under-qualified DE.
All I can say is the draft needs to hurry up, cause it will mean we are that much closer to the season starting!
yeah Walter is a dumba$$.......
you can tell he doesnt actually put effort into his site……….he just writes to have some sort of substance. Or…… he just has some crazy way of reasoning. But 7/10 times, he is wrong.

V. I. LENIN
Bibbee, I know we have discussed this but did anyone else see the video from the presser Kampman did? or ESPN’s take on what was said
good stuff
Also, why hasn’t the fact that our D-fense will get to work with a D-Coordinator that has been here for more than a year not been touched on? As much as I am not pleased with Reggie N’s progress or Harvey needing to do more with pass rush, but neither has worked with someone for more than one year. I see good things coming and with Cullen talking about how he wanted Harvey is also something to get excited about.
The coaches
The coaches have been saying all the right things for the last month or two. We just need to hope that what they say translates to the field.

Yeah I get all that....
and I can’t say I’m not freaking ESTATIC with the developments thus far in the offseason, BUT I gotta see the production from those UF guys Nelson and Harvey. This is the put up or shut up year from them. I really think Harvey has his best year BY FAR with Kampman on the other side, but he’s gotta do it. All the stud rookies from last year need to take the next step and the younger (now veterans) need to be PLAYERS for us to be as good, or at least competitive, as we should be.
But you’re right though… Consistency in the coaching coordinators – what a concept for JDR! Tryin somethin new this year….
Eric Berry
What if… What if.. Okay. I know it’s just wishful thinking… but do you guys remember last year when nobody thought it remotely possible for Eugene Monroe to fall to us? And yet he did? Well, if Eric Berry falls to us… and we pick him… I will cry like a little girl at an Nsync concert.
Spiller or Berry. Those are the two guys I want to see in teal the most.
i actually think there is a great chance..........
Of Berry or Haden falling to us……..if Seattle takes Clausen with their early pick. Every one is knocking Haden for not running fast at the combine though.

Yeah, I like Haden too. I just wanna know if he runs a faster time at his pro day.
Bring it down a couple tenths of a second, and I’d be straight. His coverage skills are ridiculous.
I would be rushed to Memorial with a heart attack
if Eric Berry fell to 10th. I can’t see that at all. He is arguably one of the 3 best players in the draft. I would LOVE IT……. but I can’t see it happening. No way the Land of Cleve lets him pass. It would be cool if it did, but again… not likely.

These mock drafts are fun!
But aren’t we all going to be surprised.
It’s going to be interesting to see how a team builds when it adheres to BAP.
What killed us before was we drafted the best available player at the position we thought we needed. There’s no doubt in my mind that Williams, Jones and perhaps others weren’t the highest rated on the board, but the highest rated at their position.
That has changed. I doubt anyone had the Jags picking Monroe and Britten last year.
It’s difficult to predict whom the Jags will pick because so much depends on who has already been drafted.
I’m looking forward to GM Gene’s #10 pick or how he uses the picks he gets in trade.
Eric Berry
anyone else hoping Berry somehow falls to us this year like Monroe did last year?
Berry is going
to be a beast, but yeah I don’t think he’ll fall to us, Monroe was luck enough, I don’t think it happens again
Brian Price
If we go with Price, what does that mean for Knighton or Henderson?
You know,
There’s a reason why these guys write about which guys to pick, instead of actually picking them.
That being said, one’s GM could be Davis or Millen, too.

DT Price...
I don’t think he would b the BAP at pick #10…top 10 are premium picks (QB, CB, LT & DE)…so that will prolly lead to Hayden or Morgan…I’ll take Hayden.
Remember last year when Mathis missed all those games…the Jags consquentially lost most of those games and didn’t make the playoffs…

If Haden or Berry are somehow there at #10, the Jaguars should take them.
I do want to correct one piece of your logic. Henderson was the 9th pick of his draft, and Stroud was the 13th. So DTs can go that high, and it worked out pretty well for the Jaguars.

And it looks
As if two of the top three picks are going to be DTs. Great defensive tackles are a premium
If hip hop is dead, then it happened the day that Dilla died.
-Akrobatik
Pass rushers,
where ever they come from, are premium players. And Price is a premium pass rusher. Not doubt about it.
DT being Premium
I would say that DT, DL in general, is a premium position, considering that 2 of the top rated players in Suh and McCoy are both DT. Also, look who has been getting some big $ the last two years- Haynesworth with the Redskins and Peppers with the Bears..
This can help...
gene said
* I want more speed on defense. I don’t care what position they play, just find guys that can run and I’ll find ways to use them.
* Get me a safety that can hit. Forget about that obsession of the past for playmakers. Just get me a guy in the back that’ll hit and my coaches will turn him into a playmaker. First things first and being physical is the first thing.
* I know this isn’t a center draft and we kind of missed our chance last year, but we need to find a guy that can be developed at that position while we still have Brad Meester.
* Get me a pounder. Put that last on your list, but if one should present itself at the top of your board when it’s your turn to pick, don’t be shy. He doesn’t have to have wiggle; all he needs to be able to do is pound in short-yardage situations, like that guy Miami has..

Thanks…
For the correction…HADEN (lol).
The premium position I listed are “the rule of thumb” picks in the NFL. So, there certainly ARE exceptions. Big John is one followed by players like Adrian Peterson. It happens. Do you actually think Price is a top 10 pick? I don’t even think he’s a top 20 pick. But hey, that’s my opinion.
Now, if the Jags traded back and selected him at #29, it would be justified and not be a reach.

yes, this draft is packed full of Defense. There are a bunch of possibilities the Jags could go, and no I don’t think anyone that will be available will be worth a #10 pick. But in order to trade down, there has to be another party interested. What if they low ball us, and don’t really offer the equivalent. Then you have to pick at #10, so it’s BAP (needs to be D-line, then everyone behind them will look better).
Isn’t there a rule stating that if the time expires on your pick then the next team gets to go, how long till you can make your pick? What if we just said, “Hey, Denver…You can over pay a guy. HAHAHAHAHA”
How can you say
that nobody at #10 will be worth the #10 pick ? I can guarantee that at least 1 team in front of us will pick strictly for need and reach for a player that Gene has ranked out of the top 10. And there will certainly be BAP drafters that just have a different draft board than Gene does.
I’d expect, and of course we’ll never know this, but I’d expect that we probably get to pick a player than Gene has rated around 6-8.
Yeah someone
will reach in front of us, but so what if team reaches for player 8 and then team 8 picks the best player. Then it’s just like 1 picking 1 and 2 picking 2 and so forth. Last year the Raiders totally reached, but you really can’t count on that happening again. I think it would take at least 2 players to fall past they should for us to get a top ten worthy pick; because I think there is a bit of a drop off after 8 to the next player.
I thought it's already been decided by the minority of season ticket holders?
Tim Tebow.
On a different note.
Joe Haden seems like a better fit for yall. Two shutdown corners as starters. Man. Y’alls defense will turn into a beast!
Being in the AFC South means having to deal with Peyton Manning and the up and coming Matt Schaub. Having Mathis and Haden playing corner makes it difficult for those two.
