[csx]

Fournette appears to have been the proverbial smoke screen

I believe this is complete and utter bull s hit.  If Fournette would've been there at 8, he would've been the pick.  You don't let a dude like him fall, and take Christian f ucking McCaffrey instead.  

lol

If we really wanted McCaffrey and Samuels, then what would've happened if we didn't land one or both? Not so much a criticism but I'm curious whether we would've stuck with what we wanted evolution-wise with other similar players or gone a different direction.

Agreed.

Even though I said it to @stirs the pot, I believe wholeheartedly we have the better player between jaguars and us.

I think we've got a better foundation in place.  I think the Jaguars are screwed.  Blake Bortles is worldly bad.  Just awful.  Dude regressed to T ebow status last year.

Interesting point. Idk but we will never know. We were going to evolve I believe anyways and we had the draft picks to move around for the necessary actions.

Kamara would have been one of our picks imo. I wouldn't have liked it either. He's nowhere near as complete as CMC.

When someone like that says something like that it makes it even more plausible. When you read this place long enough the patterns become quite obvious.

I would not write off Bortles. He should rebound imo. But we shall see. He might be a glorified Tbow after all.

Oh lord. We dodged a HUGE bullet there.

I'm not sure.  With their atrocious offensive line, they've got a lot of issues.

Bortles is Gabbert version 2.0. The Jags sure do know how to pick 'em.

Even the sites owner wrote a whole column about how Fournette is clearly the better player.  Just stop dude.

O line makes or breaks most QBs. His soph yr, he was killing it no doubt.
