You all can forget about Watkins (Blackmon out for year)

  • The Jags announced it's unlikely he'll even play.

    They are going Watkins.

    This means it's either Mack, Manziel, or one of the tackles

  • That sucks!!

  • There's a chance Evans and Watkins go at 2 and 3. I really want one of them at 4.

  • Not for sure. I dont' think they will pass on Von Miller 2.0. Remember, their coach is a defensive minded coach who comes from Seattle. And this is a very deep wide receiver class. Heck i can see them trading down to accumulate picks. They have holes everywhere.

  • Only good news is there's some teams who would love to trade up for Mack. Get your franchise QB next year.

  • I still HATE that the Bengals snatched AJ Green with the 4th pick in the 2011 draft. Had he still been on the board instead of Julio Jones, I continue to believe we wouldn't have shipped the #6 to Atlanta.

  • i am not sure if it changes anything for them, with how deep this years draft is @ WR and Watkins presummingly comming off the board @2 Id imagine they will stick to developing the D with a pick of Mack or Clowney and picking up some WR help in the 2nd or 3rd rounds... Jacksonville will draft D @ 3.

  • Although a lot of news has been otherwise I still don't think it's out of the question for them to go QB if they like someone at 3.

  • There's a chance Evans and Watkins go at 2 and 3. I really want one of them at 4.

    I agree completely

    You are 100% correct about that.

  • Lol....yeah....sure.

  • I think the Jags are the team that pulls the trigger on Manziel. If they don't show something this year heads are going to roll, so they are desperate.

  • News like this might make our front office consider Watkins/Evans even more now. I mean, Gordon could slip up just like. I hope he doesn't, and I think he won't, but it helps to be prepared.

  • I don't think it raises or lowers the chance of the Jags taking him or someone else, simply because they already knew this for a while. The issue however is that I think there is a 50/50 chance that the Rams take Watkins, and still a 50/50 chance the Jags take him as well. The Rams other choice being Robertson and the Jags other choice or course being Mack. However I am also becoming more and more confident that even if Watkins and Mack are gone, and considering that fact that I do not believe we will take an OT at #4, we will also not be taking Manziel. I think at that point we have three choices. We take Evans, we take a surprise pick (I think it's Aaron Donald DL from Pitt), or we except a trade back offer with what ever team gives us a trade offer while also being the closest to offer to our selection (Example we would take an offer from the Bucs over the Vikings or the Lions).

    But the one thing I am serious about is us possibly taking someone that no one has been talking about. I keep hearing that the Browns have a surprise selection in mind. That COULD be Evans considering most don't think he should go that high, but if your taking our offensive needs out of the consideration, I think it is Donald, who is being talked about as one of the most dominate 3 technique DT to come out in the past decade.

    I think Evans wouldn't be a bad pick! Seems like most people on this board agree (I'm not necessarily one of them) taking one of the two top QB's in this draft is a bad idea at number 4. Is it worth it then to trade UP to #2 and make sure you get one of the sure things (Watkins) in the draft? Mel Kiper thinks there are, what was it 4 elite players in this draft? I think there are two. JC and Watkins.

  • Maybe the Jags realize that adding another prima donna reciever to their roster isn't going to help them, just as it won't help the Browns.

  • IIRC Donald is one hundred and ten percent a 4-3 DT. If that's the case, why the he'll sould we draft him if Pettine is runing a 3-4 hybrid scheme? Makes absolutely no sense.

  • There's a chance Evans and Watkins go at 2 and 3. I really want one of them at 4.

    I can see Watkins going @ #2 to the Rams- but there's no way Evans is going to get picked that high. Interesting scouting tidbit about Evans- he's always played the right side- only.

    Where do you get the prima donna from? Haven't heard that one yet about Sammy.

    What exactly is that based off of? Been watching that dude play for three years..... Never seen it.....

  • Gawwwdd, the Jags suck.
