Harvey and Groves, two top notch pass rushers from this class is good enough to hold our caps on. It was the primary need and exactly what we needed to try and supplant the Colts and Patriots...now we go into camp and see what we needed to.[/quote]

Someone needs to crown me.

For day two I'm hoping the Jags package Matt Jones and a 5th to move into the 3rd round and draft DaJuan Morgan.. Then move down with their other 5th and draft a QB to develop, like Dennis Dixon or Paul Smith. With the other pick acquired in the trade down I would like to see them draft the BAP, which I hope is an offensive lineman.

Depends on who we like.

If a good runningback is available, we take him.

The same goes for a good linebacker, receiver, QB, DT, corner, safety, or offensive lineman.

Tight end and defensive end are probably the only positions exempt from consideration.

[quote][b]rfc17 (4/26/2008)[/b][hr]my philosophy is you go after need, to a degree, early in the draft where everyone has relatively the same ability. and late in the draft you go after the BAP... the guys that slipped through the cracks for whatever various reason.

so id say we just sit back and see who falls to us in the 5th and take the best players. anyone we get there is going to be depth only. no one who will make any kind of significant impact on the team. a backup safety may be the biggest "need" left but even then I dont think its all that important. if in a pinch, we could get some guy off the waiver wire(like a lamont thompson or sammy knight) who would probably be just as effective for one season as any guy we grab in the 5th.[/quote]

Your philosophy is pretty much what the Jaguars do: go for need early, and take BAP when the scouts become relied upon more.

I think the shock and awe was today. Tomorrow's the smoldering embers.

for the Jags to just sit with the 2 5th rounders?

or more wheeling-n-dealing and trade up? trade down? trade Matt to a team for a 4th or 5th round?
trade more of next year's picks? (aww shoot, we traded away our 7th next year! :( *sarcasm* :P )

things are rather interesting :)
