I was watching late night sportscenter this morning trying to see who won the game last night and just generally catch the highlights.  (I am 9 hours ahead of EST)

One of the segments was game predictions by o bookie (I guess that is what he does) named Cousin Sal.  He was talking about who to take this weekend and this guy made every other talking head sound like they knew what they were talking about.

He told the fans to pick Jacksonville because Carolina's defense was a mess and Cam didn't have anyone to throw to.  Maybe the latter is an acceptable comment but to say our defense is a mess just blew my mind.

A mess? Really

He was picking against the spread (I think he had it -4) not necessarily saying the Jaguars would win. Honestly he was on fire last year with his picks and rarely missed.

The one key thing he mentioned was that the Panthers were something like 1-7 as road favorites (I can't remember the exact number). That definitely comes into play when betting spreads which is all it was about. I could see the Jags keeping it within 4 and so do a lot of other people because the line has moved to -3.

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))

      I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
