Stigma (3/20/2008)
I have no inside information on what the Jags plan to do in the draft to address the Safety position.
My guess is that Gerald Sensabaugh will start at Free Safety for the Jags.
It is possible they could do just about anything and no one, not even the front office personnell know what that something might be, so your guess is as good as anyone else's.Sensabaugh start at FREE Safety? I thought we had a guy named Reggie Nelson playing FS? What did you mean by this Stigma? Sorry, your majesty, for my most egregious error! |

I'm bored, so here is how I see us going with our picks. I'm not considering trades/etc. because I don't feel like looking up the value charts.
1. Philip Merling, DE, Clemson - He seems to be dropping in the first round now that news of a sports hernia injury repairing surgery happened a few weeks ago. He has very long arms, nice size, and good time speed. He is a very good pass rusher and has very good pursuit. He's questionable against the run and probably won't overpower any OT's, but he's an edge rusher. I believe Williams, Otah, Clady, and Cherilus will all be gone by our pick. Not to mention Cherilus projects out to be a better RT than LT.
2. Heath Benedict, OT, Newberry - Benedict is a small school guy who the Jaguars actually worked out last year because they thought he was going to enter the draft. Of course, it turns out he did not. I expect the Jaguars to have just as much interest in him, and he is climbing draft boards. Another possible target could be Sam Baker of USC, but I feel he will be gone by this selection. He could play any position on the line, is very powerful, and very athletic for his size. However, he is very raw and will need some work. He was a top tier recruit who transferred out of Tennessee due to academics.
3. Tyrelle Johnson, FS/SS, Arkansas St. - We know how the Jaguars like the pluck small school players with big upside, and Johnson is just that. He is a tremendous athlete who runs very well (4.45 40) and has the physicality to come up and support the run. He has adequate size to play either S position, as we know the Jaguars need depth there. I think everyone's favorite pick Barret will be gone by this pick, and I don't think he's worth spending a 2nd round pick on.
3. DeMario Pressly, DT, NC State - With the loss of Marcus Stroud, you can expect the Jaguars to bring in a young player to compete at the DT position and battle Jimmy Kennedy. Pressly is coming out of whats been a DL factory in NC State that produced players like Mario Williams, Manny Lawson, John McCargo, and Tank Tyler. Pressly is a distuptive DT who gets into the backfield. He suffered through some nagging injuries in his career, but he has a lot of upside and would fit well into the Jaguars DT rotation.
4. Darrelle Robertson, DE, Georgia Tech - Robertson is an undersized athletic DE who is explosive off the edge. He also offer vesatility in the aspect that he could drop back and is athletic enough to play in coverage, much like what was done with Bobby McCray at times last season. He is a pegged as a 3-4 OLB, however I think he could be a productive off-the-bench DE in a 4-3 scheme.
5. Paul Smith, QB, Tulsa - Even with paying Lemon nearly $3M a season, I expect the Jaguars to make a run at a late round QB. Instead of going the easy route and saying they will draft and IR Dennis Dixon out of Oregon in the 5th round, I chose a QB who the Jaguars have shown interest in who could be a 2-3 year developmental guy. Smith was very productive at Tulsa in a pass firts offense that move to a hurry up in 2007, which he posted his best ever season throwing nearly 50 touchdowns and completing 60% of his passes. He's a bit on the shorter side at just under 6'2", but he has the ability to move around in the pocket.
5. Albert Young, RB, Iowa - This is my official homer pick, as I was a big fan of Albert Young. He suffered through nagging injuries in his junior and senior seasons at Iowa, however when he was healthy he was a monster. He was on the preseason Heisman watch list before the start of the 2006 season after running for 1,300 yards for 5.4 YPC in 12 games in 2005. He is not overly fast, but he run with power, has some elusiveness and is a threat catching the ball out of the back field. He also has kick and punt return experience and ability.
5. Jeremy Geathers, DE/OLB, UNLV - I don't know a ton about Geathers, other than the Jaguars went to his pro-day and worked him out. He's another tweener type guy who's a pass rusher in a 4-3 or a stand up backer in a 3-4. Not to mention I'm just throwing a random spot here because I don't think there is anyway the Jaguars use all of these draft picks.
Heath Benedict is dead. |

I thought you had a new brilliant scheme for the secondary or something.

| | With so many people talking about the Jags need to move up or down in Rd 1 rather than stay where they are at Pick 26, here is my latest mock draft with some trades. TRADE: Jags trade Picks 26 (Rd 1) and 58 (Rd 2) to Miami for Picks 32 (Rd 2), 57 (Rd 2) and 100 (Rd 4). Dolphins move up to take Quentin Groves or Gosder Cherilus. Rd 2(32): Calais Campbell - DE - Miami - 6'8" 290 lbs 5.04/40 Jags move down and still get their DE. Campbell is a bit of a project but he offers a nice upside as the future LDE. Rd 2(57): Anthony Collins - OLT - Kansas - 6'5" 317 lbs 5.54/40 Jags draft a player that they will develop as an OLT behind Khalif Barnes. If the Jags choose to let Barnes go in 2009, then Collins will be pencilled in as the starter at that spot. Rd 3(71): Red Bryant - DT - Texas A&M - 6'4" 318 lbs 5.00/40 Jags draft a space eater to fit into the DT rotation and partially replace Marcus Stroud. Rd 3(89): Phillip Wheeler - OLB - Ga. Tech 6'2" 248 lbs 4.76/40 Jags project Phillip Wheeler will be used as a hybrid DPR/OLB that may team with Brian Smith, where both players line up on the weak side in a zone blitz scheme. Wheeler had 19 career sacks at Ga. Tech and is considered the best Blitz LB in the draft. He can also play the three LB spots as well as rush the passer. Rd 4(100): Dexter Jackson - PR - App. St. - 5'10" 182 lbs 4.33/40 Jackson will be brought in to compete for the Punt Returner spot and quite possibly Dennis Northcutt roster spot. Rd 4(125): Jack Ikegwuonu - CB - Wisconsin - 5'11" 194 lbs 4.44/40 Ikegwuonu has some baggage but is a very talented CB that suffered an ACL injury training for the Combine. He will be placed on IR for 2008 saving a roster spot for 2008. Rd 5(143): Dennis Dixon - QB - Oregon - 6'3" 195 lbs 4.58/40 Jags draft the future backup QB who will sit out of the 2008 season while rehabbing from an ACL injury. Rd 5(158): Gary Barnidge - TE - Louisville - 6'6" 243 lbs 4.61/40 Jags draft their 3rd string TE who is a very good recieving target. He is also a local product from the Middleburg area of Clay County, Florida. TRADE: Jags trade Pick 159 (Rd 5) to Vikings for Picks 182 (Rd 6) and 209 (Rd 7) Rd 6(182): Marcel Reece - FB - Washington - 6'0" 231 lbs 4.42/40 Jags draft an H-Back FB that offers an inviting recieving target out of the backfield. Rd 7(209): Chris Horton - SS - UCLA - 6'0" 212 lbs 4.54/40 Jags draft a backup SS to compete with Gerald Sensabaugh. |

It's too bad I didn't have the foresight to know he'd die of a heart condition back in Mid-March, huh?
