At 6'1" 227# he's honestly built a lot more like a RB than a typical WR. He ran a 4.58 40 at the Combine which is pretty decent for his size but what was a bit eye opening is that he didn't do any other drills (other than the bench - 17 reps). You would've liked to have seen that 40 time paired with some decent agility numbers and leaps showing explosion. For him to show up and run a 4.58 and not do anything else kinda tells you that his straight line speed was his best measurable trait and it turned out to only be marginal.

 

Idk, I'm not gonna read too much into it, although I would tend to agree with you, but there are some guys that just know how to move when they step on the field, regardless of their measurables.  And again, judging from his production so far in the pros and looking at the tape, he shows plenty short-area explosiveness to make plays.

Sure would feel better if I thought THEY knew what kind of football team they are trying to build here.

Sometimes I still get the feeling that Fit is the "in on every deal" kind of guy that other GMs abuse.

Getting picks in return for guys like Dennis Daley and Greg Little doesn't feel like "abuse" to me.

As far as what we're building, this particular deal probably started with Ben McAdoo. He was with the Jaguars for Shenault's rookie season.

Most likely, McAdoo believes they can use him in some fashion.

I have to disagree.  We damn sure didn't get abused on the Baker or Gilmore trades.  Depending on how he plays this year, we probably won the Henderson trade as well.  I don't count Darnold on Fitt because it apparently was pushed for mostly by Rhule and has been very different from the other trades we know were sought out and initiated by Fitt and the FO, in terms of compensation contrasted with the actual player's value.  And finally, I think if you look at the roster Fitt has built, it is quite possi ly the deepest/most talented roster from top to bottom we have ever fielded...  so he is killing it, imo.  The issue is Rhule.  Imagine what a Belichick, Andy Reid, Tomlin, Bruce Arians, Harbaugh, or Vrabel could do with this roster...  which is why if Rhule finds a way to lose with it, he needs to go and go early and give McAdoo or Wilks a shot at becoming the guy.

Has anyone mentioned he might be "our" Deebo yet? Who is "our" Kyle Shanahan to coach him up then? 🤔

Hey you're right.  I never really noticed.  Kyle Shanahan was 10-22 his first two seasons, before he found his QB.  I'll bet 9ers fans were calling for his head.   Thanks for pointing out the parallel frankie.🤔

You can't be serious with a Rhule/Shanahan comparison based solely on record.

Of course not, but I didn't make the comparison. Frankie did. 

In the end, if Shananhan only had losing seasons, he wouldn't be so revered.

The only thing to change the narrative on Rhule is wins.

Lets hope we  get a lot more this year.

NFL. com confirms

The Jaguars traded Shenault to the Carolina Panthers on Monday in exchange for a 2023 seventh-round draft pick and a 2024 sixth-round selection, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported.

I think that's a nice trade. I'm starting to like Jax. They can keep trading us their top picks for late rounders all day.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
