*** Official Jaguars Thread - Team Putting #DTWD to The Test *** (1 Viewer)

I like Fournette as a player, but he isn't exactly going to help the Jags.  Offense is going to suck unless Bortles suddenly finds football jesus.

Robinson is a steal in the second though.

Nah, will be more balanced. Just what the doctor ordered.

 
Jags last 2 picks are a WR with domestic violence issues and a small school weak side LB.  

Dubya tee efffff. No interior lineman. No TE. No corner. 

Meanwhile Colts walk away with Marlon Mack to take a Luck dump off to the house.

 
I have a problem with the Westbrook pick. Not a fan of his off the field antics. He's not a good guy. Would have much rather seen a DB, TE, G/C.

I like the Blair Brown pick though.

 
Im surprised they didnt take Dorian Johnson instead of Westbrook. Run mauling guard seemed like the perfect fit for them. Then he goes a couple picks later.

 
I'd love for the Jags to trade back in for Bucky Hodges. I'm really surprised he's still around. Upside TE could add another dimension to this team.

I don't like this pick either.  I just can't help but have thoughts that we've got another Justin Blackmon.

Well not as bad as Mike Glennon getting $15M.

I just don't understand the logic with picking the option up. If he rebounds and becomes what they obviously think he can be, then they can just franchise him next year.

I was scratching my head, too, until I read that he can be cut before the next NFL year starts, and the Jags won't be on the hook for the option. Knowing that, it made a bit more sense to me.

I believe this is true as long as he doesn't get hurt. Let's say he tears his ACL during the 2017 season. I believe that makes his contract guaranteed for 2018.

Or they can get this 5th year out of him and hold that FT option for the following year.  How much do you think the Redskins would love to step Cousins' FT status back a year?

And yes, this 5th year is only guaranteed for injury.

 
Given they didn't draft a QB this year, I think it was a smart move to exercise the 5th year option.  I'm not crazy about him getting paid $18M, but if you don't have Bortles for his 5th year, then you're down to Chad Henne if he's still under contract, a rookie QB, or a free agent.  The 5th year option at $18M will be cheaper than the franchise tag.  How much is Kirk Cousins getting under the franchise tag this year?

 
Time to cut Malik Jackson before he gets suspended for substance abuse?  The Jaguars are not winning the Super Bowl this season.  Love his optimism though.

 
How is the Jags oline? Are they decent at run blocking?

I was just reading the quote about Marrone wanting to run the ball EVERY play. Fournette is obviously a very talented player. Just hope he can get some holes.
