In other words, the Redskins were the most pathetic team this year

Okay, somebody in the Big East has made this necessary. "BC" in my nickname references the icon. I AM NOT A BOSTON COLLEGE FAN.

by VoiceOfBC on Jan 1, 2012 7:50 PM EST reply actions  

I think it is relatively safe to assume

all the really good players we have been wanting will be gone by the 7th pick. I think the favorite as of this moment for the Jaguars selection is probably Jon Martin or Dre Kirkpatrick

If you think all the good players will be gone by 7, think of what teams are thinking at picks 20+

We have a top 10 pick, they will draft someone great, or trade back.

At pick 7 it might not be Claiborne or a specific player you had in mind, but there is great talent at 7. Ie: Adrian Peterson 7th overall.

Agreed.

First off, we need to see how the picks ahead of us go. Also, who knows what players will rise/fall between now and draft day.
Very excited for the offseason free agent action and draft!

i disagree

There seems to be a lack of elite talent in this draft. Yes, there are some very good players that can be had in the first round, but there are not a lot of elite players.

by Dwalk1217 on Jan 1, 2012 8:07 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree about the lack of elite talent.

After Barkley and Te’o went back this is a shallow draft for elite talent. Slipping from 4th to 7th really sux.

elite: Luck, Barkley, Kalil, Claiborne, Richardson. Te’o.

It is however deep in WRs and CBs. I say we take two of each at some stage. Best player available at 7 spot and 39.

I can really see this year being an underwhelming draft for us

Gene will most likely continue his drafting trend, which means most of us will be unenthused with his choices. If he doesn’t hit this year with the higher draft picks, he will be out soon. This is his year to add depth since he has high picks in every round.

by Dwalk1217 on Jan 1, 2012 8:11 PM EST reply actions  

I agree, time to hit on some picks. I’m not kidding.

I’m tired of mediocre talent picks, some have been alright but still. Especially on offense, I’m tired of the opposing defenses not being threatened what so ever by our roster. I really don’t care, Blackmon, Floyd, Jeffery, Wright. Add a WR who can make a play.

we are going to get at least one big star WR in FA so don’t worry. Taking a WR in the first would be a bad idea considering how deep this draft is. OL is the way to go to get the best bang for your buck.

The only person I can see people trading up for is Landry Jones

if he impresses at the combine. If that even happens, he will go to Washington or Miami anyways. We are stuck at 7 most likely so start scouting guys like Coples, Maritn, and Reiff. If Blackmon falls to 7 then we could take him, but I am not a fan of a first round WR.

Easily

Production-wise there wasn’t a big difference between him and Bradford. He has the size and arm strength you want in a QB and generally if you want one, you have to go get one so I could see someone talking themselves into trading up to take him, not saying he would be worth it but I can see it happening.

Here's a cant miss pick: Luke Kuechly

He is an absolute beast, the best LB in the country, by a mile. The only problem is we don’t really need a LB. I would still love Kuechly, but if not him then Riley Reiff from Iowa.

Agreed

but I would honestly only take him if we get lucky in FA and pick up two WRs and a starting caliber OL or DE. It would be a perfect Gee pick and it is not like Poz and Session are always healthy.

What I said was he is a sure thing, if he comes out. If we pick him at 7, I'm fine with that.

All I know is, he is a beast who led the nation in tackles 2 years in a row, won the Butkus Award (top LB) and Lombardi Award (Top Lineman/LB), and in 3 seasons has 532 tackles.

That's what I think...

I realize Session is guaranteed money, but if Keuchly were drafted and beat him out, isnt the purpose of the draft to get better? Draft the best players and whoever is the best plays.
I also agree, however, that offense has to be addressed – seriously addressed, in the offseason. Not sure Keuchly will be, or should be, our pick…I’m just saying he’s one of the elite talents available in this draft.

Fidelis Ad Mortem

by JPQ! on Jan 2, 2012 11:35 AM EST up reply actions  

Either way

Sessions wasn’t on the field too much when he was healthy. Our scheme focuses a lot more on the nickel than a standard 4-3 set. I’m all for BAP, but unless we’re looking at a scheme change or a future replacement for Darryl Smith, an OLB really wouldn’t be very valuable to us in the 1st round.

by Mr.Awesome on Jan 2, 2012 1:01 PM EST up reply actions  

never gonna happen

he would be a backup or start over sessions which would waste that 40 mil he signed for

by montanajagsfan on Jan 1, 2012 10:42 PM EST up reply actions  

Ok

The offense needs playmakers. With the the 7th pick I do not see the Wide Reciever we need, right now. Using the BAP system TRich is probably number one assuming Luck, Kalil, Blackmon, Claiborne, RGIII are gone. The Skins are a wildcard and I think could reach for Landry Jones if he comes out. So players under consideration would likely be Richardson who would be another playmaker albeit not a reciever, Reiff OT, Kirkpatrick CB, Martin OT, and maybe Floyd or Jeffrey with good postseasons. OT is a possibility with Whimpers bad play, as is CB with Mathis gettinh older. I think Richardson would be a safe choice although not a need and would generate excitment. I hope though that Blackmon could fall or Floyd/Jeffrey proves they are better than Richardson because I see the need for a WR.

I think the Jags should get either Dwayne Bowe or Vincent Jackson in FA…

If the Jags can get either one in FA and pick up Blackman in the draft, that will get the Jags passing offense in the teens…keeping the defense and MJD more fresh and more players off IR

Are there too many receiver-needy teams

for Blackmon to fall to 7? I think he is benefitting from the hype-machine right now. Any chance he free falls like Blaine did?

Based on Drafttek teams needs

1 Indianapolis :Needs nothing we gave it to them. QB Luck
2 St. Louis Needs OT.CB.DT.LB..WR Select OT Kalil
3 Minnesota Needs CB.SS.LT.OG.WR Select CB: Claiborne
4 Cleveland Needs RB. WR.RT select:WR Blackmon
5 Tampa Bay Needs LB. CB.RB. select LB Kuechly
6 Washington Needs: QB. RT.CB select: QB.RGIII
7 Jacksonville Needs: HC. QB.WR.. CB.WR. OT.TE

Leaving us with the rest. I’d be okay with CB Kirkpatrick, OG DeCastro or LB Zach Brown
maybe Rieff as a guard or RT only.

Second round get the likes of WR Kendall Wright, Dwight Jones Alshon Jeffries or QB Ryan Tannehill who may be elevated ala Gabbert

DraftTek is a great tool

And they do their research based on guys who individually follow each team, rather than look at needs and fill gaps. They’re reasoning behind us drafting Matt Barkley in the first last time is because they know of Gene’s proclaimed BAP philosophy.

That being said, DraftTek often under/over value some guys, some times. I have followed the draft with their final CMD the last two years, and they have a very high amount of success, especially finding guys that will fall (DaQuan Bowers, for example).

There’s no way RGIII or Jeffrey would make it to the second round, and yes, this does make it lose credibility. I highly suggest that you follow them for a little while, though, so you can see for yourself that these guys are the exceptions, not the norm.

I also like that there is some media out there willing to do Mock’s with a little balls. Who predicted the fall of Clausen? Not the MSM.

In my opinion

and that’s all it is, opinion, Gabbert will develop next year into what we were hoping he would be this year. I believe 2013 will be his better year. Project with alot of upside. At least he appears to see the field better than the last one. Also, I don’t see the Jags drafting a HC with the first pick. I am sure they will hire one before the draft (tongue in cheek, before I get berated). It will be WR, CB, Offensive line. That is hopefully.

by Nolan Sackett on Jan 2, 2012 8:50 AM EST up reply actions  

@Mullayo

Wouldn’t you rather, say sign Carl Nicks, a 26 y/o premium Guard than use number 7 overall on a guard. OLB would be a luxury pick for us….when healthy, sessions is barely on the field as our scheme is more nickle-based. Kirkpatrick….maybe, but he’s no Claiborne.

What I’d really like to see is Reiff. He’ll be the second/third tackle taken, so his cost will be appropriate for a RT, there’s nothing available in FA, there’s not a lot of depth at tackle this year, and most of all, I think he’s going to be a great RT who may even push Monroe for LT down the line.

Monroe-Nicks-?-?-Reiff; with ? being settled between Nwarni, Meester, Rackley, Spitz and Britten. That’s a lot of young, great to elite talent at 3 spots, and a couple young and veteran guys that are at least solid at the other 2. We could survive off that line for years, or draft a center high in the following years and make the line elite. Let’s get that aspect of the offense taken care of, so we can focus on our receivers in the rest of a very deep class.

by Mr.Awesome on Jan 2, 2012 1:21 PM EST up reply actions  

I like Nicks but wouldn't he be more expensive than the younger De Castro?

Eric Galko at Optimum Scouting says DeCastro is the best guard prospect he’s ever scouted, someone else says he’s the best he’s graded since Maurkice Pouncey, maybe we could trade down a few spots

I have doubts about Rieff he’s a converted tightend and may have some gaps in his technique. He’s nasty though which is something I think our o- line needs it’s personality is very passive.
And a legit RT also gives our line more flexibility so yeah I’d take him at 7.

What could of happened; did.

by Mullayo on Jan 2, 2012 8:16 PM EST up reply actions  

Nicks is definitely going to be expensive.

The saints will make him a decent offer, but they wont be able to afford him because of their other expensive guard – can’t justify spending OT money on TWO guards, lol. But a team could afford to spend it on one…and so could we.

Let’s say De Castro comes right in and is just as good as Nicks. We save on some change for a little while, but just like Nicks he’s going to want the big bucks as soon as he can get it. In the meantime, we have spent a 1st round pick on a talent who will likely not be as good a Nicks until the following season, even if he’s a fantastic prospect.

Plus, if you’re going to throw a lot of money at a FA, why not make it a 26 year old All-Pro talent for a position you’d probably not draft in the first round under any circumstances anyways.

I see Decastro going to a team that thinks they have the luxury of taking a possible future all-pro at Guard in the 1st round. Or maybe the Bengals since they have to 1st rounders.

As his trigger finger, not as Vic described it, exactly. Rank em’, list ‘em, pick ’em may be true, but if you’re only ranking and listing the guys you scouted…the guys who are comprised 75% of need positions, it can give a very confusing result of BAP.

I think Gene scouts certain positions all the way to the colorado school of mines…to find the very best at each position and rank them against each other to help facilitate the best by position. Then, he and his scouts have a list of other players that have caught their attention throughout the year. Gene himself said in one of Vic’s last articles that the position matters in his consideration of Value, and why shouldn’t it?

Ever notice we like to draft a lot of guys at the same position? I think this is why. That’s why we grab guys that are either exact needs or guy that belong to a deep class. I think Gene is good at figuring this stuff out, and knows he could be passing up other guys in the mean time.

Here’s how I think this is different from needs based drafting.
It’s pretty safe to assume he’s scouted WRs, CBs, OL and DL (I think OL and DL will always be scouted by him, btw). Come each of our picks, I think the logic is that there will be a guy from one of these positions at each of our picks, so that no matter where we pick we should have a BAP need selection. Punter is another need and a much smaller group of guys, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a punter, as well.
