If a top 5 prospect falls to us...


Recommended Posts

Considering the top-5 is likely going to be Luck, RGIII, Blackmon, Claiborne, and an OT or two, it's possible. I think Blackmon has a slight chance to drop to us, but very slight. The Jaguars badly need a WR and would almost certainly pick him if nobody else does. Claiborne could conceivably fall and so could Matt Kalil, but it's impossible to say right now.

Drafting either QB is out of the question. If it's one of the OT's or Claiborne, we obviously pull the trigger (if not trade up for it!). If it's Blackmon, that depends on how big the gap is between him and the next guy on the list.

I agree, I would be willing to bet the farm that RG3 doesn't make it past cleveland, and at the very worst case the redskins. And if hell freezes over and he is still there after that, the Jags would be hard pressed to pass on him, and its almost a guarantee that Miami would take him if they had the 8th pick. I read somewhere where they are thinking of picking tannehill in the top 10, you better believe if RG3 is there, they will take 10 seconds to get the card to the commissioner.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
