Still, most consider that a HUGE reach, and while what you guys gave up wasn't too bad to move up to eighth overall, it was probably a lot to give up for Harvey. The Jags are largely being looked at as one of the teams that panicked, but if you have to have your guy... but if he was "the guy", why did they move up AGAIN to pick up Groves??? Looks similar to what the Titans did some odd years ago with Schobel, Laboy, and Odom, only difference being that the Titans actually traded down, but all were still high picks. De by committee. Don't worry. You're not the only team being looked at as potential draft day boneheads. With WR being the most glaring need on the roster, the Titans select... Chris Johnson, RB. Once the Saints moved up to take Ellis ahead of the Bengals, Harvey was the Bengal's guy, period. That has been reported by both NFLN and ESPN as well as numerous websites. Since Ellis was picked at #7 and the Bengals were going to pick Harvey at #9, where else should we have picked him? Given the facts, how is picking him at #8 a reach, exactly? to play the devils advocate, what if that had been a reach for the Bengals? the Bengals could have wanted to draft ME with that pick and obviously that would have been a reach. but if the Jags jumped them and took me first, wouldnt it still be a reach? cuz obviously im not worthy of a being the 8th pick in the NFL draft right? NE might have nabbed him.. If not, he was a lock to go to Carolina. John Fox had a man-crush on him. Maybe he would have, maybe he wouldn't. Either way, he shouldn't have been a top ten pick. He didn't so good his junior year and had a terrible combine as well. Not saying that he's a bad player, just that he probably wasn't worth a top ten pick. As I said, if he was "the guy", you guys wouldn't have had to move up to take Groves as well. That said, both of them could end up being tremendous players. I don't think that trading up for Q. Groves was so much about the Jags not thinking Harvey was the man. Obviously Harvey was the man as we gave up half our draft for him. Trading up for Q was more about obtaining a 1st round talent at the end of the second round and Pittsburgh was probably going to take him with the next pick.

Chris Johnson, RB.I read in the paper today that they plan on moving Johnson to play WR, not RB. Is that true? Have you heard any interviews where Fisher said this might be the case? I hadn't heard that. With the entire class of receivers in front of you, it wouldn't make much sense either. I could, however, easily see him getting ample playing time in the slot. He did play WR some in college, and is said to be an excellent route runner. I agree he will probably play some slot reciever, and actually was very productive at that position. He does run very good routes, has great hands, and is a matchup nightmare for linebackers and safeties. I didn't like seeing him go to the Titans because I think he has the chance to be an immediate impact player.

Shouldn't like it because I assume you like Garrard more.. and the tacks are the enemy. haha.

Yeah he is now a part of the enemy, but I still want him to be successful, just no one else on that sorry team. Hopefully he will be a star but want to leave when his contract runs out and come to a contender like say Jacksonville.

This guy doesn't think so. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8079910/Handing-out-draft-grades-for-AFC-teams "There is no question that coach Jack Del Rio believes his team is right on the verge of beating the Colts and Patriots in the AFC, and that's why he boldly traded into the top of the round for Florida DE Derrick Harvey, who is a natural pass rusher and was rated at a top 10 player by the majority of teams. " Anyway, who knows? None of these rookies have played a down yet.
