I like that dude. No problemo. It's always interesting to hear or mingle thoughts and opinions with other team fans. Can give some different perspective. Can be too easy to get into a narrow closed off echo chamber within only one particular fanbase at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot of you Jags fans everywhere which is cool. Similar to the Raiders forum in terms of level of activity here. Has there been any indication on JAX being interested in Jordan Love or is Minshew your guy going forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't seem to have the heat to really indicate they're not going to let Minshew have a little run. Beyond the usual draft rumblings you hear every year. One thing to note, is that Dave Caldwell who is back in charge now that Coughlin is fired in disgrace...is that in the past, Caldwell has been known to run a pretty darn tight ship. We've had plenty of real "surprise" picks with him. Where even most of the organization themselves didn't know who the guy was gonna be at the top of the draft. So we'll have to see what happens this year, or if some "insiders" have finally got their claws into his staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's murmurs we like Love and Tua, but I don't think that necessarily means we'd take either. I expect us to stay away from QB and go for building up the team around him, but as @Tugboat said, Dave is one of the better GMs as far as keeping it tight lipped with zero idea where we're going. If I was Khan, I wouldn't let Dave take another QB because if we don't hit a win threshold and they're ousted next year you're going to cut off a section of available GMs/HCs if they don't like the young QB you spent a premium pick on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. It's kinda sucky in some ways, to tie a GMs hand like that...and it's part of why i didn't really like going back to Caldwell for this. But it'd be hard to let him take a second shot at a top pick QB like that. And it'd be even harder to bring in top new GM candidates to replace him if they're coming in already tied to the "last guys" QB pick like that. Top GMs always want to ride or die with "their guy" at the most important position. Not a hand-me-down...unless that's the guy they'd have wanted anyway. But that's obviously going to limit the pool of guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of riding with Minshew regardless, but if they really think Love is Mahomes 2.0 or Tua is a franchise guy I'd also like to make sure QB is set whether that's Minshew or not.

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Idk about Love but man if Tua is there at 9 I’d hope we take him. Cant imagine he’d fall that far. Someone will trade up for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda hard to tell if that really means anything. Pretty standard fare for teams to meet with top QBs, in a typical offseason at least. If for nothing else, to build a bit of a book on what makes the guy tick. But also just in being prepared in case they fall to them...You don't want to end up like the Jaguars rube of a GM in that phenomenal "Draft Day" motion picture. But this offseason is weird. So who knows...? Edited April 5, 2020 by Tugboat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
