Fitterer 'we need really good - solid, football players - we don't need numbers of players'

Fitterers response when asked if they're looking to move up. This is basically Gettleman saying a dime is better than two nickels. You have to look at CJ as your third rounder in this draft

If we come away with 'only' the best OT in the draft + CJ - then we should all be elated

Henderson will be 24 in September .. very young, not a bust .. T10 pick very recently.

To be honest I think were about done as far as the draft is concerned and that shouldn't be a disappointment to any fan

Henderson is a Jags bust until he does something of note in a Panthers uni. That's just the reality of the use of that pick. As for whether or not we move back in for a QB if we do you are going to have to swallow your pride and move on and support the guy.

We have a fairly filled out roster besides QB and DE.  We are taking a QB today or tomorrow, 100%.  
 

OT, QB, CB (CJ) and a DE later in the draft would be very solid.  Free agency pretty much addressed everything else.  

I still see DT as a need. The guy we picked up from WAS...is he a true DT? 

I wouldnt be mad at a KR/PR, maybe a linebacker (Littleton will suffice if he gets back to his form from a couple years ago). Also wouldnt be mad at Robinson Jr. @ rb. Or another WR if we have cutting Shi in our plans. 

We just need players bro

CJ looked like ass last year.  Too early to tell if he's a bust, but the arrow is definitely pointing in that direction.

The team that drafted him cast him off after one season. He might not be a bust….but he is red flag.

The team that drafted him is also well versed in being wrong more times than not. 
 

I think it’s incredibly early to write off CJ. He will have half a year in snows system and a full offseason. He will have no excuses going into this season; but to label him a bust prior to seeing what he can do for us this year is premature.

Can probably count on one hand the number of first round picks (top 10) cast off after one season though.  It’s a giant red flag.  Jags or not.

      This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
