| | I was bored and looking at the draft tracker. I noticed the Seahawks picks. They stood out because they drafted a few players that were mentioned often as possible picks for the Jags. I would almost rather have their draft. Almost. Check it out: 1. Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC- Big, fast, highly productive, every down DE. Had 30.5 career sacks. Could have filled pass rush need well. 2. John Carlson, TE, Notre Dame- big TE with good hands and good blocking skills. Would have been an upgrade over aging, injured Wrighster. 4. Red Bryant, DT, Texas A & M- big, run-stuffing DE who would have added nicely to the DT rotation with the Jags. He is similar in size to the departed Stroud and was mentioned often as a possible draft pick for the Jags. 5. Owen Schmitt, FB, West Virginia- 6'2", 250 with a nasty streak. Could have been a special teams demon and a more than capable replacement for Greg Jones in the event of injury. If Fred or MJD were hurt, this would allow Greg Jones to move to RB and the FB position would not miss a beat. 6. Tyler Schmitt, LS, San Diego St- yeah we don't really need a long-snapper, but they say this guy is really good at it and he could have been a more athletic, cheaper replacement for Zelenka. 7. Justin Forsett, RB, California- many people took notice of this guy during the Senior Bowl. He is undersized, but could have been a capable 3rd RB. 7. Brandon Coutu, K, Georgia- this guy is good. Maybe better than Scobee. We would not have drafted a kicker of course. This pick would have been a CB or Safety. I guess Harvey and Groves will be better than Jackson, but who knows. Anybody else think these players would have fit in nicely for the Jags?

| I think our first two picks outweigh theirs by a large margin. The rest is possibles with potential upside. I don't think we needed very many projects (maybe a DT or OL) This was a draft where we addressed a need and got a couple fillers. Hopefully this will be the year.

| The only guy I wouldve really wanted out of their draft would be Red Bryant.

VY is already a top 5 QB in this league. He just wins games. And no need for Fred Taylor or MJD we have Chris Henry... he will be better then both of them after this year. Just like Vince Young was last year. BOOK IT. |

| Long snapper and kicker, what a draft class.
And is Wighster really "aging" at 27 this past month?

Wrighster is a medical reject who cannot be depended on to contribute the course of a full season. He's always getting hurt.
I'd rather just go with Angulo, Smolko or Adam Bishop in addition to Marcedes/ Estandia at this point. Even Estandia is a "?" at this point, due to his shoulder.
Next year's draft needs to find another TE prospect (preferably one who is known for his blocking ability) as well as SS, and probably DT, OT.
TMD's Jags draft: as of 3/ 11/08
1)DE Calais Campbell 2) RB Ray Rice 3a) DT Frank Okam 3b) trade to Mia for DE Jason Taylor 4) C Cody Wallace 5a) CB Terrence Wheatley 5b) WR William Franklin 5c) SS Caleb Campbell
Follow this & we'll be playing in Tampa next February

| A herniated disk in 2004 and a torn ACL last year makes a "medical reject" now?

He's had other nagging injuries as well. Don't sit there and act as if Wrighster hasn't been injury prone. I could have sworn Wrighster had a shoulder issue at some point during his Jags career as well, along with ankle issues at some point too.
It's not like Wrighster is all that great that looking for a better option who can remain healthy should be out of the question.
I don't think we missed him much at all even with Angulo & Smolko in there.
Wrighster's not worth the $$$ or the nuiscence of having to endure all the injuries he seems to sustain.

Where do all of these injurys come in?
I never said he was Tony Gonzalez. But, hey, it's the TMD Happy Fun Slander Game.

| | Lawrence Jackson was my selection for the Jags first pick for a while. My reason being that trading up for Harvey will put him in the spotlight. If it works out, Ok, but me being the ultra conservative I am I think Jackson would have been an adequate pick at pick 26. If he went bust at pick 26 it wouldn't have been as bad as if Harvey goes bust after trading up to pick 8 for him. I'd also assume they could have gotten Jackson cheaper than Harvey. McCray was like the only Jag who's been in double digit sacks for how long? I think Jackson would maybe have been adequate to replace McCray, who really didn't play much last season and the Jags were still 11-5. And I believe Jackson had more sacks than Harvey last season and throughout his entire NC |
