I'd argue that's the real meat of this draft at RB too. Sorta 50-100 range. Personally, i don't really care much for Swift or Akers. I'd have Taylor comfortably in that range, along with Moss instead. But that 2nd/3rd round range feels like the place where these RBs are going to variously get scooped up. Before kinda dropping off a noticeable tier it seems. Talked about Taylor's issue with fumbles and his wear and tear at Wisconsin along with age being an issue for us. Personally, give me CEH or Akers. At that point I'd be cool with Swift, but he's probably my last one on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see why the jags should consider thomas as just a guard. To me he seems as a better tackle prospect then cam I'd imagine viewing Thomas as more of a Guard, probably has to do with how often he seems to end up working with a blocking TE outside him vs certain types of rushers. He's better working against inside counters than speed around the edge, and more of a bulldozer in the run game than a guy with those elite movement skills on an island. Better tackle prospect than Cam? Probably...yeah. But Cam was also a 2nd round pick, and also hasn't been good enough. So that's not necessarily where you set the bar. I mean...if they're drafting a LT prospect in the first place...it's more or less fundamentally an admission that Cam isn't really a LT. So "better than not good enough" doesn't mean a lot.

I'm not sure how much i care about the whole "wear and tear" thing in this day and age though. Like...odds are good that you won't be seeing most of these RBs with their original team beyond their rookie contract these days anyway. So as long as there's enough tread left on the tires to manage that, i don't necessarily think it matters much. I think Taylor's probably got enough left in him to make it through that rookie deal fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly they are a dime a dozen but we never find them that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Buzz Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Again, these guys aren't gospel, so take it for what it's worth. Imagine this hinges on Simmons/Brown and co. not being there if this is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worried about the wear and tear because like you said they probably wont get an extension or at least a long term one at least but this team cant afford to turn the ball over more. its like drafting a WR with iffy hands. We cant be dropping passes to convert 2nd and 8 because 3rd and 8 feels like a punt formation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I dont love going down to 16(prefer a pick or 2 earlier to be safe) between: 2-3 QBs 3 WRs 4 OTs Young Brown Simmons Okudah-Henderson I feel like 16 is beyond the breaking point.

Burrow, Tua, Young, Simmons, Brown, Okudah, Thomas, Wills, Wirfs, Henderson, Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs, Kinlaw, Becton. Think there's a slight dropoff after that, but not far, to guys like Kristian Fulton, Justin Jefferson, etc. The likelihood of there being zero out of the box picks in the top 15 would surprise me though.

DuvalsKing Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 This is why if the Minshew thing fails it’s just not going to be we’ll just draft a QB next yr I can easily see the Jags winning 5-6 games and easily picking back in the 5-10 territory next yr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i guess I’m playing it safe but there probably is a head scratcher or 2 that i didnt list effectively making 16 still valuable on my scale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
