If a CB is our first pick, then it's Brandon Flowers to play nickel.

Apparently Jack Del Rio has said Williams will not move to safety.

Like I've been saying all off season....

I could see us taking a DB, in Kenny Philips. I'd almost rather have Philips than Jackson/Campbell/Groves etc. in Round 1.




Del Rio was right!

If we take a corner I will not be happy.  We HAVE to take a big man with the first pick, I don't care if its O-line or D-line, but there should be at least one or two quality big men on the board when we pick.  If there was a bonafide SS available that would be one thing, but there is not even one in this draft with a first round grade.  Go BIG early!

What if its Cromartie Jr who drops and the Jaguars manage to get him at #26.

I understand the need to "go BIG early!" but in the late first round that's not always the best option. Typically that phrase refers to picks in the top half of round one.

[b]needs based drafting...

Is how you screw up your draft and put your team in a bad position for years to come...see Byron, Reggie and MJ, granted Reggie has played better as of late.

 

The thing that I keep thinking about is that if the team had gone with what was rumored to be their BAP (and I strongly emphasize rumor since there is no way to know), Terrell Suggs, how the next few years would have played out provided the team generated similar records. Take a look at this and understand that this is the epitome of hindsight being perfect:

2003 - Terrell Suggs, DE.

2004 - Ben Roethlisberger, QB.

2005 - Heath Miller, TE.

Those three players alone would provide for one (dirty word) of a team core to build around for the next 7-8 seasons.

Man I hate thinking about what if's.

 

I thought about this same scenerio a few times over the past couple years. It's plain as day in hindsight, and that's just it. I know you can't ask anyone to have "hindsight," but for some reason the best GMs just seem to have it. Big Ben gets hated on our board quite a bit, but part of it I think is jealousy that we didn't get him. He's a very underrated, mobile QB with an accurate deep arm. And Heath Miller is simply a beast. I do think Marcedes has a great future in store for him, and I'm confident he'll impress this year, but Miller was impressing everyone out of the gate.

Then again, over the past four decades how many teams have said they wish they could draft as well as the Steelers?

Actually, Del Rio has been his normal self wherein he's careful not to say anything. Regarding BW's suspected move to S, all Del Rio said is "not necessarily." By no means does that rule out the possibility. With that said, I still view BW as our NB with Sensabaugh reclaiming his starting SS position.

Also, in regards to what CB the Jaguars might target, be sure to consider the new rule that force outs will no longer be called. You want a physical corner who can literally carry receivers out of bounds.

Del Rio said he was happy with Williams and his play at CB.  He implied that Williams would not move to S, but did not confirm that he would not be tried at the S position.  Based on what he said, like many others, I thought it unlikely that Williams goes to S.  However, the only way the Jags draft a CB is if Williams moves to S.

It is possible the Jags will have to choose among Phillips, Balmer, Groves, and whatever OT, LB, WR, CB, RB, etc.  If Merling is gone, then I hope we take Phillips-providing we stay at 26.
