Current Draft Position & Potential Prospects

T Law to IR. Jags def going #1.  Will be interesting to see if they take Hunter or trade down 1-2 spots so New York or Oakland can take a QB. May get a bidding war between those two.

I don't think the Jaguars end up as the #1 pick, even without Lawrence. 

Without looking at every team's schedule the rest of the way, I have to think they might have the easiest remaining schedule.

Titans x2, Jets, Raiders, and Colts are their remaining 5 games, who have a combined 17 wins between them, if you count the Titans wins twice, lol.

Even without Lawrence, there is a very real chance they find a way to win one or two of those games and drop from the #1 pick in the end.

Yea I see them winning one or two games if you watched Mac J when he came in last week, he was like 75% comp rate he played a solid game I’d expect him to play his heart out you never know when you’re getting another chance and this is his chance to shine and I personally hope he plays like a all pro any game to close out the season.

JAX plays TEN, OAK & NYJ and agree - Jones, as mid as he is, was able to move the ball decently in that offense.  They could easily land a win.

Has Lawrence really degraded that badly? He’s got all the tools to be a stud QB.

He is a decent QB and out for the year. He just hasn’t lived up to the hype. With that contract they gave him he’s pretty much impossible to move on from for the next 2 years. I was saying they could have a nice bidding war on their hands if they stay at #1.

He doesn't have the tools. People fell for the hype in college. 

 

He has the looks not the game.

Idk. I just saw a video of Mason graham eating. And I got to thinking about a defensive line with him and Derrick Brown in the middle. And how dangerous that would be. 

Instantly helps our run defense. Interior pressure kills even the best qbs

Mason is an animal.  Throws people around and a very good pass rusher up the middle.  I’d love him personally

I absolutely love Mason’s game. However from a strategy perspective, I believe that we can solve the D-line issues in free agency cheaper than we can a #1 WR.

If T-mac is there you take him, if not you go Graham or Carter

If he can be a diet coke version of suh or Donald im all for it. Pair him with brown and pressure up the middle kills.

Important question- Did he use his hands or utensils??

Why I think the Jags may not be picking in the top 5: 

They could run the table--but I do not know how you play these teams without 2-3 wins.  If LV wins, it hurts their chances--I think the split with Tennessee, and beat the Jets at home--

Regardless, who knows?  Bad teams are unpredictable. 

I see the first round of the draft going this way:

1.  NY Giants (Saints and Colts are winnable games on schedule-but the Giants will be underdogs in both; predicted finish is 2-15)

2. Patriots  (not winning another game--they have 4 to play; I am guessing 3-14 and they have a pretty weak SOS)

3.The Browns have 1 winnable game--@ Bengals, and the Cats will be favored.  I predict that Winston is going to Winston--final record---3-14.  SOS is weaker right now than Vegas

4. Raiders (Saints and Jags on schedule---A win would take Vegas out of the Ward/Sanders race.  I think they could win 1; probably finish 3-14

5. Panthers could surprise some folks--here is why:  They play Dallas at home and that is a possible win. They end the season at Tampa Bay--and then the last game of the season against the team that may have the division wrapped up---Atlanta.  If so, they will play their subs, but it seems Tampa won't go away. Atlanta and Tampa Bay are currently 6-6, but the Falcons will probably lose to Minnesota and Washington, ending 9-8.  Tampa has an easier schedule down the stretch, with probable wins against the Raiders, Cowboys, Panthers, and Saints.  I think they win 3 or 4 of these, and that would prevent Atlanta from resting starters. Predicted finish:  4-13 because I think the Panthers will win one because they are improving, but Dallas is their best hope for a win (at home).  It is possible that they do not win a game, but we are playing too well not to get a W in five chances.

6. NY Jets (Jax only winnable game left, but with Rogers, they could upset someone.  probable 4-13)

7. Titans have 3-4 winnable games left on the schedule; expect 2 wins)  probably finish 5-12 or so.

8. Jags have nothing but winnable games left--Titans x 2, Jets, Colts, and Raiders-Jax could run the table, but they won't.  With Mac Jones, they could actually get a boost.    Expect them to finish 5-12.

TEAMS with 4 WINS

• Bengals the are the first 4-win team but they have 3 winnable games--they will finish 6-11 by winning 2 of 3 vs. Cleveland, Dallas, and Tennessee.
• The Saints (4 wins) have the Giants and Raiders left.  They win at least 5, probably finish 6-11
• The Bears have 4 wins and with SF, Minn, Seattle, Green Bay, and Detroit left, they may be headed for an 11-game losing streak to end the season.  Yikes.  Predicted finish, 4-13

THE DRAMA: 

1. NY Giants--Ward, QB Miami

2. New England (TRADE with LV Raiders)--Expect the phone to be ringing with Vegas on the line and they will throw a ton at the lucky Pats, making it impossible for them to say "no".  The Pats have needs at Edge, WR, OL, and CB--so they will want picks. However, if they trade, they probably lose Travis Hunter, so the price will be steep, and the Raiders will pay it to bring in a brash star to be the QB of the future.

3.  Cleveland --With both QBs off the board, the Browns take the best player in the draft, Travis Hunter, CB/WR.

4.  New England (from Raiders)--Hard to say, but they will be focused on Edge, CB, WR, and maybe OL.  I am guessing they take the position that will be gone by round 2.  A. Carter, DE/Edge

5.  Carolina:  With the top WR in the draft on the board, along with Graham, the top DT, I do not see an edge or WR worth this pick.  I think they trade or they take Graham DT or McMillan WR.  We need a #1 WR, and we are getting DT Brown back, so the choice is a toss up.  If it were me, I would 1) trade back 5-10 spots and get both Edge and WR, 2) Graham, DT (can you imagine how awesome our front would be with Graham and Brown?) 3) McMillan WR.   My pick is Graham, DT, Michigan.  I think an edge like Boston College's Donovan Ezeirukau (80 tackles, 17 sacks) or a WR I really like--Elic Ayomanor from Stanford.   My sleeper pick is Mike Green (edge, Marshall).  Since Ayomanor is not a #1, I would take Exeirukau (BC Edge) 

That is how I see it now--but we should be picking around #5, and we know 3 players that are going off the board 1-3--Hunter, Ward, and Sanders.

Love Graham, but you have to continue to build around Bryce if the plan is going to work. Spent a lot in free agency on OL this year to give him time. Added a promising young TE, and WRs with potential. Also, may have created a dynamic running back core. Finish the job and get T-Mac if he is there. Young will flourish and the team will make sense and we’ll have a path for the future.
