Since everyone else is making their list on what they would like to see happen in free agancy and the draft, here is my wish list:
In Free Agency: I know this is a real wish list, but we have to spend money ala the new owners/players contract, so here goes
1. Carl Nicks- we need an O-lineman bad, and this stud is out there, and we need him, all the Nfl anylists say we have the least amount of talent on the oline in the NFL, well this would help, and most mocks have us picking up a center in the draft so this is a bonus
2. Reggie Wayne- Yeah I know, he is old, and with our history of picking up washed up players, this pick could seem terrible, but Wayne is still crafty, has some speed left, and catches almost anything thrown his way, and his experience, would help us against the colts once Peyton is back, and he could mentor the young draft picks WE HAD BETTER pick up in this draft
3. Pierre Garcon- he is quick talented, and CATCHES the ball, and to steal yet another weapon from indy would quite honestly, make me giddy
In the Draft: This list I have compiled based on looking at MANY mock drafts:
1.Morris Claiborne or Robert Griffin whichever is left on the board when we are up, Claiborne seems to be the one most have us picking, and he would help in so many ways, but honestly as bad as our drafts have turned out recently, I would love to see Griffen picked here, even if Blaine steps up in year 2, we could still use griffin as a WR, and send him deep to open up lanes for other people(MJD< Thomas, and our new "other" Wr's) and we would also be able to use him, in "special" situations like 3rd and short, or 4th and short etc(wildcat etc), and lets face it we need a "splash" in this years draft, to gain momentum, for ticket sales, and just for some buzz around OUR TEAM
2. Alshon Jeffery- I like blackmon better, but most drafts have him going to the Rams right now, and floyd being gone by the second round, so this leaves Jeffery, who isnt bad, but we need to revamp our whole Wr corps, and Jeffery would help, he has good size, and decent speed, and seems strong enough to create seperation(our one huge problem is undersized, weaker wr's) I know Sanu is another option at this point in the draft, but I wasnt impressed by his hands in the bowl game, Kendall Wright would also be nice at this spot if availaible, but again in the bowl game, he didnt impress(everyone else was scoring, why not him? he had one, but with his supposed talent?)
3. Michael Brewster- this one is a reach, as he probably wont be there, but he is a gene pick, and a top center in the draft, so? another possible option is Vlachos from Bama, WE need a replacement for Meester(who I love, but is getting old, and we need a top notch replacemnt for him at some point-now)
4. Ty Hilton- is amazing, and would also improve our special teams, this one should be a no brainer
5. Eric Page (wr, university of toledo) This guy I have watched on tv for four years, and he just makes plays, he is much like hilton, and has good run after the catch skills, and just is a star, and as I have noted before, university of toledo wr's are good in the NFL, Lance Moore, Stephen williams etc, page could also make our special teams a whole lot better, and again we need to revamp our wr corps from top to bottom-speed seperation, and yds after catch
6. Killen Moore- If we dont get griffin, we need another young backup qb to push gabbert, and lukes brother seems better then luke(sorry luke but its my opinion)
UFDA's We need to bring in some running backs and some DE's to shore up our already great running game, and our pass rush, I like what we have but we can find a gem, and honestly Karim should be gone, and Lane should find himself out of a job next year too(he is always out of position, I like his heart, but heart dont= sacks)
Anyways thats my take on things< I enjoy reading other peoples wish lists on here, so I figured I would do one myself- Gene you had better start picking some div 1 talent, this year instead of "hoping" div 2 or 3 players "pan out" we need a stellar draft, and a great FA, lets get it done, and get back to playing JAGUAR FOOTBALL, AND MAKE THE "ANALYSTS"EAT THEIR WORDS!!!
GO JAGUARS, AND THANKS TO MR KHAN, FOR HIS LOYALTY TO THE JACKSONVILLE FANS
