Speaker 1: It is Thursday, April twenty nine. This is Jaguars Happy Hour.
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours presented by Duval Motor Company. And now
Speaker 1: a guy who always appreciates a good draft or I
Speaker 1: P A or stout or box of wine j peace,
Speaker 1: especially on a night like tonight, Welcome in. It's Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hour presented by the Duval Motor Company. My name's J. P. Shadrick.
Speaker 1: And boy do we have a program for you today,
Speaker 1: a draft right preview. We'll hear from Jaguar's owners shot Com.
Speaker 1: We just sat down with the Jaguars owner. Will have
Speaker 1: a comment about tonight, the excitement here and yes, the
Speaker 1: breaking reports about Tim Tebow working out as a tight end.
Speaker 1: You'll hear from shot Con at about four fifteen today.
Speaker 1: Also Irvan Meyer about an hour and a half ago
Speaker 1: before his first NFL draft. We'll hear from the head
Speaker 1: coach Fred Taylor, pride to the Jaguars running back. And
Speaker 1: then Brian Sexton schedule to join us in Cleveland at five.
Speaker 1: Jeff Lagerman is in studio with us today. That is
Speaker 1: a lot of show aheadlogs. Good afternoon, Good afternoon. It's
Speaker 1: I hear there's a big event going on a night.
Speaker 1: There's something happening here exactly. It's exciting. And you look,
Speaker 1: the football world is gonna have its eyes upon Jacksonville
Speaker 1: at the big, very beginning of the draft tonight, and
Speaker 1: there's gonna be Jaguar fans everywhere that are gonna be
Speaker 1: just extremely excited and pumped up. And for good reason.
Speaker 1: You know, the there is a generational player that's going
Speaker 1: to be available to be picked first and excited to
Speaker 1: see it happened. I think we all are. This has
Speaker 1: been a long time coming. And you gotta stay tuned
Speaker 1: to hear what Mr Kan said because he's fired up
Speaker 1: about tonight too. He's he's seen so many quarterbacks and
Speaker 1: some not good football teams here over the years, as
Speaker 1: we all have to have this opportunity to be in
Speaker 1: the spotlight, to be in a first overall pick situation
Speaker 1: with the players that are available, that's the perfect storm.
Speaker 1: And you might not see that again ever as an
Speaker 1: owner of a football team. Well, no, possibly not, and
Speaker 1: you hope to never see it again as an owner
Speaker 1: of a football team, because that means you got into
Speaker 1: the position to be drafting first overall again. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's It's exciting for a lot of different
Speaker 1: reasons because the draft has always represented great hope for
Speaker 1: football teams in the NFL, because they've been bad and
Speaker 1: now here's an opportunity to get better as a football team.
Speaker 1: And when you have a generational talent at quarterback, that
Speaker 1: can be transformational for an organization. And it doesn't just
Speaker 1: stop there though the Jaguars have two first, two seconds,
Speaker 1: two fours, two fives. I mean, there is plenty of
Speaker 1: opportunity for this football team to get better besides just
Speaker 1: picking first overall and getting a quarterback. Let's hear from
Speaker 1: head coach urban Meyer. We had a chance to catch
Speaker 1: up with him here at t I A bank Field
Speaker 1: about an hour and a half ago, and that was
Speaker 1: about five and a half hours until the clock starts
Speaker 1: with the Jacksonville Jaguars at number one overall. It's his
Speaker 1: first time in. How's he feeling? Here's Urban Meyer? That
Speaker 1: coach Urban Meyer with us just down the hall from
Speaker 1: the draft room here at t I A bank Field
Speaker 1: for only a few hours away. You're nervous yet, yeah,
Speaker 1: I get nervous about everything. It's a game day type
Speaker 1: feeling around here. Our staff is worked very, very hard.
Speaker 1: This is a transformotional moment for nine oh four and
Speaker 1: for the Jacks. I saw a shot earlier to then.
Speaker 1: I can feel it with him too. Yeah, I bet
Speaker 1: that's coming out of him because he's been here for
Speaker 1: a while trying to get this thing right. This is,
Speaker 1: as you said, it's a big moment for this organization.
Speaker 1: So are you confident in the preparation? Is there any
Speaker 1: stone left unturned? Yeah? We came in even this morning.
Speaker 1: You know, I just I probably shouldn't watch it durn
Speaker 1: mocked or ass but the the whole idea that you
Speaker 1: get your eyes and your heart sent on a player
Speaker 1: and you might be gone. That's what I gotta because
Speaker 1: I got my heart set on a handful years and uh,
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing I got to prepare myself for.
Speaker 1: And if that player is gone, where do we go?
Speaker 1: But I feel like we've done our work. You got
Speaker 1: a lot going on, and there's some guys in the
Speaker 1: building offseason program, so I'm sure you've been here for
Speaker 1: a little bit today. What is your draft day routine?
Speaker 1: You've never done this before. Do you have a checklist
Speaker 1: that you go through before that clock starts at eight
Speaker 1: o'clock today? No, it's actually new for me. You know,
Speaker 1: I've met with our staff a couple of times and
Speaker 1: we actually are you know, there's a couple of guys
Speaker 1: even trade opportunities and might surface them when watch having
Speaker 1: our staff watch some guys. Um, I got my workout
Speaker 1: and thank God, and then uh, and then get ready
Speaker 1: for a very long evening trade. Uh. Any surprises up
Speaker 1: ther sleeves to night you'd like to give us down?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm not gonna tell you Anything'm not because
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know, but I'm listening and learning
Speaker 1: the collaboration, which I think is in my thirty years
Speaker 1: or especially the last fifteen in college, I've really studied
Speaker 1: how these teams because they all come into the house
Speaker 1: Statard for it would see these great players and when
Speaker 1: you have great collaboration between the coach and the personnel
Speaker 1: office or general manager. And I'm telling you know that
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the last three months being any better
Speaker 1: than Trent, myself and our staff. Final thought when we
Speaker 1: talked to you at eleven thirty tonight, at the end
Speaker 1: of this thing, what would be a successful night for
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. That's going to be successful? Um? You know
Speaker 1: we have a good idea of the number one pick,
Speaker 1: the five is and the one. We've got about four names.
Speaker 1: That depends how the draft goes, but we have them
Speaker 1: vertically ranked that after there will take them. So it
Speaker 1: will be we'll win today. He's gonna make sure we
Speaker 1: win tomorrow to night. It's two more days after today
Speaker 1: to coach. Thanks a lot. Good like you that surban Meyer,
Speaker 1: And it seems pretty relaxed, aboot, I'd say going into
Speaker 1: his first NFL draft, now that was a little while ago.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens at about seven forty five when
Speaker 1: they're closing in. I think I loved his response to
Speaker 1: you when you asked him what would he consider success
Speaker 1: at eleven thirty tonight, and he says, Oh, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be successful. I mean it's just the confidence. I mean
Speaker 1: that's obviously impressive. And when you have an opportunity to
Speaker 1: draft a players such as Trevor Lawrence, I mean, you're you're,
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna have great success on day one without question.
Speaker 1: Because the last time that something an opportunity has come
Speaker 1: about like this, you go back to heck it was
Speaker 1: what back twenty twelve, I think it was when Andrew
Speaker 1: luck was the consensus first overall picks and the draft,
Speaker 1: and there was no mystery to the fact that he
Speaker 1: was going to be that selection. And you go back
Speaker 1: even further back into the NFL history and you look
Speaker 1: back and you think, maybe John Elway. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just it's not very often that you have a player
Speaker 1: who is a clear cut head and shoulders above everybody
Speaker 1: else number one, and and those guys worked out pretty well,
Speaker 1: I'd say, yeah, right, yeah, But but there's when you
Speaker 1: go back to other number one overall quarterbacks, because there's
Speaker 1: been in many and some of them have not been successful.
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to say that Trevor Lawrence won't
Speaker 1: have success, but the ones that were one overall, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of questions about would they be number
Speaker 1: one overall. Heck, there was even a question about Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning or Ryan Leaf who was gonna be number one.
Speaker 1: Incredible now to think about, but that was a true story.
Speaker 1: It is incredible, absolutely because then and seriously, there was
Speaker 1: the media experts, you know, the personnel experts, they were
Speaker 1: split about fifty fifty and boy, uh of the people
Speaker 1: were dead wrong in that instance. Well, either way, tonight,
Speaker 1: Logs will be a night to remember for a long time.
Speaker 1: I think folks that are here tonight, certainly, if it
Speaker 1: goes the right way, over the next five ten years
Speaker 1: at that position, we'll remember where they were on a
Speaker 1: night like this. And it feels like a lot of
Speaker 1: ways with the new coaching staff in with the ability
Speaker 1: to pick the number one overall in the in the
Speaker 1: quarterback that's available, it's almost stay before this and after
Speaker 1: this scenario for this organization as a whole. Tonight's really
Speaker 1: the night for that well it is and and instantly,
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence will be the most iconic Jaguars figure in history.
Speaker 1: In Jaguars history, Uh, I mean Mark Burnell, Tony Boselli,
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor, they all fall by the wayside instantly from
Speaker 1: day one. When Trevor Lawrence is drafted number one overall
Speaker 1: by the Jacksonville Jaguars tonight, he will be the most
Speaker 1: popular Jaguars player in history. And it won't even be close.
Speaker 1: And so I mean it's it's gonna be certainly changing
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways for the franchise, for the city,
Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence himself, and uh, and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: exciting to watch the journey that is going to be
Speaker 1: starting tonight for this franchise and for Trevor Lawrence. Because
Speaker 1: make a mistake about it, you're when you say that
Speaker 1: this moment we'll define this franchise going forward, and we'll
Speaker 1: be the defining moment for this franchise in its history.
Speaker 1: Thank But no mistake about it. It is going to
Speaker 1: define this franchise and it's gonna define it in a
Speaker 1: in a big way. Whether that turns out to be
Speaker 1: fantastic and Trevor Lawrence leaves this team to Super Bowls
Speaker 1: and is at the Helm for fifteen years, or whether
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, it's gonna be a defining moment.
Speaker 1: Here's a just off the cuff here. We We had
Speaker 1: a conversation on a podcast the other day on the
Speaker 1: Official Jaguars Podcast Network on Apple, iTunes, Spotify or wherever
Speaker 1: you download your podcast by the way, about what Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence's floor would be in the NFL. We know he
Speaker 1: could be the great Hall of Fame quarterback and do
Speaker 1: all these things when championships and all that, but at
Speaker 1: his lowest, what is a comparison in the league. And
Speaker 1: we kind of came up with the If he's Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: he's got an m v P, he's been to a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, he's had a long career. If that's the
Speaker 1: floor for Trevor Lawrence, that's a pretty darn good floor
Speaker 1: to half. Sure it is, Sure it is, but but
Speaker 1: you want to be you want to better. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. But I'm totally with you that uh,
Speaker 1: And that would probably be I think a fair comparison
Speaker 1: of where his floor maybe if you talk to some
Speaker 1: of the experts that have been that have been studying
Speaker 1: that position forever. And the big question is is where
Speaker 1: is the ceiling? And obviously the ceiling is gonna be
Speaker 1: determined doing large part to what happens around Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: How good are all the other draft picks from How
Speaker 1: good do these draft picks that have happened in the
Speaker 1: last couple of years developed for this franchise. How good
Speaker 1: is urban Meyer and his staff at developing these young
Speaker 1: prospects that they are going to be adding to this
Speaker 1: football team this year and in the future years. How
Speaker 1: good is Trent Balky and his staff that continuing to
Speaker 1: supplement a roster with talent that is constantly changing year
Speaker 1: after year, because it's a cycle that where you lose players,
Speaker 1: you have to continue to add players and to add
Speaker 1: more players than you lose to continue to get better.
Speaker 1: You know. So there is a lot of factors that
Speaker 1: are going to go into determine in that ceiling. But
Speaker 1: you feel like you have a chance because you have
Speaker 1: a generational talent coming in the door. Because you know,
Speaker 1: Urban talked about he was dead on the money when
Speaker 1: he talked about football being a quarterback sport instead of
Speaker 1: just the NFL's a quarterback league. And I've always said
Speaker 1: that you should draft a quarterback every year. And I
Speaker 1: still believe that even if you draft Trevor Lawrence, you
Speaker 1: continue to try to find another quarterback. I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to say that you find one to replace Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: but that's how how important if you stumble upon one.
Speaker 1: The you gotta have a backup to that's one thing.
Speaker 1: But you can get rid of a guy and and
Speaker 1: get a lot of return for you know. And and
Speaker 1: here's the thing I mean, and when I say you
Speaker 1: never stopped looking for the quarterback, even if you always
Speaker 1: trying to find even a good backup. Look what Rob
Speaker 1: Johnson was able to Garner for this Franchi whole idea.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a fourth round pick out of Southern
Speaker 1: cow He's buddies with Tony Boselli on that football team,
Speaker 1: and and all of a sudden he comes in here
Speaker 1: and he has a couple of good starts. He looks
Speaker 1: at the part, and all of a sudden, the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills give up the farm, which is a first round pick,
Speaker 1: the ninth overall pick, which turns into Fred Taylor Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame caliber player. You know. So that just goes
Speaker 1: to show you that you can't stop looking for that
Speaker 1: position because it's a premium position. Buddies with Tony Boselli
Speaker 1: would have been the red flag, right, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know everywhere they were a little different there, they
Speaker 1: were kind of ran in different circles a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know. That's good. So plenty ahead on Jaguars Happy.
Speaker 1: I will return with Jaguars owner shot Con moments ago,
Speaker 1: he sat down with us here in studio, and his
Speaker 1: excitement level for tonight and for the future of the

Speaker 1: hear from Jaguars owner shot Con. It's an important day
Speaker 1: certainly for the Jaguars organization, arguably the most important in
Speaker 1: franchise history. And Mr Khan sat down with us just
Speaker 1: a few moments ago. Jaguars owners Shot Con joining us
Speaker 1: on Draft night twenty twenty one, A long, long, long
Speaker 1: time coming, but a franchise changing moment tonight, a rare
Speaker 1: opportunity Mr Khan with a number one overall pick. The
Speaker 1: excitement level in this city has been has been increasing
Speaker 1: as the weeks have gone on, and now here we
Speaker 1: are on a night that you might not see again
Speaker 1: as the owner of the football team. Absolutely, I think
Speaker 1: you know, I'm super pumped. I mean, it's that's one
Speaker 1: of those moments. As you know, Jack's fan, it's wonderful
Speaker 1: to be alive. And uh, I've been looking forward did
Speaker 1: the day and obviously looking forward at the season. So
Speaker 1: it's got to be exciting too because you get the
Speaker 1: share of the moment with the fans. You know, we're
Speaker 1: getting back to a little bit of normalcy and we're
Speaker 1: gonna have fans here to help celebrate with this football team. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I think we've missed the fans and I think, uh
Speaker 1: that is absolutely you know, the big part of football,
Speaker 1: besides winning is the environment, the fans, the energy. Jacksonville
Speaker 1: has been all over the media the last week or so,
Speaker 1: national media and everything. They're in spotlight and the city
Speaker 1: and the organization. It deserves that. It's been a long
Speaker 1: time coming. Absolutely, I think, uh, we've got to enjoy
Speaker 1: the moment, uh and take a deep breath and really
Speaker 1: enjoy it and uh um so I think nothing should
Speaker 1: get in the way of that. One of the one
Speaker 1: of the great moments is being on the clock with
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, and I always find an interest and
Speaker 1: how teams kind of have a different pace or a
Speaker 1: tempo as far as when they turn the pick in.
Speaker 1: Will you enjoy the full time of being on the
Speaker 1: clock knowing we can turn this in and nobody else
Speaker 1: has to be in front of us to determine where
Speaker 1: we're at. Yeah, I think you go through obviously a
Speaker 1: miserable season to get the first pick. But then certainly,
Speaker 1: I mean there is a huge advantage obviously this year
Speaker 1: with all the agony and so you know, there's been
Speaker 1: a lot of heavy lifting over the last few months
Speaker 1: with the Trent his staff, coach or on his staff,
Speaker 1: and but you know, we feel we're in a great
Speaker 1: place now shotgun with US Jaguars owner on Draft night one.
Speaker 1: It's the number one pick in a year where there
Speaker 1: are some big time quarterback prospects. We all know the
Speaker 1: history around here at the quarterback position. Certainly under the
Speaker 1: time you've on the football team, you know it well.
Speaker 1: So many changes over the years here, and it's hard
Speaker 1: to find sustainability when there's especially that position so much change.
Speaker 1: It feels like there's an opportunity now to stop that change.
Speaker 1: You agree, absolutely, I think, Uh, you know, I did
Speaker 1: the math. We've had eight starting quarterbacks in nine years. So, um,
Speaker 1: it's obviously it's difficult to win when you don't have
Speaker 1: stability at that key position. How important has it been
Speaker 1: twofold one, your involvement from last year being more involved
Speaker 1: and then also this year with the hiring of Urban
Speaker 1: and making sure that you're trying to get an environment
Speaker 1: that is conducive to success for a young quarterback to
Speaker 1: come in. Yeah, and I think you know, I've I've
Speaker 1: shared that a little over you know, a year ago. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's your owner. I think, always on a
Speaker 1: knife sedge. I mean, you don't want to abdicate, you
Speaker 1: don't want to micromanage. Where is that balance? But you
Speaker 1: know a little over a year ago, I, um, you know,
Speaker 1: got much more engaged because you know, three years ago
Speaker 1: I thought we'd turn things around with the championship game
Speaker 1: and even the season after that, you know, we got
Speaker 1: off to three and one start and then boom, you know,
Speaker 1: disaster struck so um and um, so really getting the
Speaker 1: team ready, the young team that wants to play for Jacksonville. Um,
Speaker 1: that was really uh, you know our goal last year.
Speaker 1: And then how the season turned out, it was like, um,
Speaker 1: you know, the gods of football had smiled in the Jaguars. Um.
Speaker 1: Not only we had the first pick, but all the
Speaker 1: other attributes that go with it, the draft picks, the
Speaker 1: salary cap and really a good young team. So I
Speaker 1: felt we had the first pick in the draft, but
Speaker 1: we also had the first pick in the coaches search.
Speaker 1: And um, the amount of people at the end of
Speaker 1: the season that it reached out to me, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: with interest in the job really was certainly I haven't
Speaker 1: experienced that, you know. UM, So I felt this was
Speaker 1: absolutely vital to get that right. We've had high picks before,
Speaker 1: I think both of you know that, and we have
Speaker 1: little or nothing to show for it, frankly. Um, so
Speaker 1: the picks are only as good as really the personnel
Speaker 1: folks and the coaching staff that's leading it. So getting
Speaker 1: the coaching um, the search and selecting really the leader,
Speaker 1: to me, that was really vital before you even got
Speaker 1: into it. And um, and you know, I took really
Speaker 1: full advantage by talking to a whole plethora of candidates.
Speaker 1: And when it was all said and done, I mean,
Speaker 1: a winner like Urban, you know, is what we need.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm just super pumped and enthusiastic about it.
Speaker 1: Shotgoun with a Jaguars owner and to that. To that end,
Speaker 1: it feels like most times when he speaks publicly, he'll
Speaker 1: tell you what he doesn't know in the NFL. It's
Speaker 1: not like he's coming in and saying, oh, I know football,
Speaker 1: I know the league. He's been pretty forthright and what
Speaker 1: he needs to learn and needs help with in the
Speaker 1: NFL that Trent Pak he's helping him out a lot,
Speaker 1: certainly in this pre draft process. I think for me,
Speaker 1: that's been one of the most impressive things. For a
Speaker 1: guy who's had so much success. You would think he
Speaker 1: would come in and, you know, know everything, But he's
Speaker 1: been pretty forthright, are you. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: a surprise or not. You might know him a little
Speaker 1: more intimately than most so far, but I think that's
Speaker 1: been an impressive part for Urban so far. Yeah. I'm
Speaker 1: not surprised, okay, because the reason you know, I've known
Speaker 1: Urban you know obviously before the higher as socially and
Speaker 1: then uh, you know last year when we knew where
Speaker 1: we're going to have the pick, you know, I wanted
Speaker 1: to find out we need you know the quarterback class.
Speaker 1: And um, I had spoken to him a couple of
Speaker 1: times what he thought and uh, um so um, I
Speaker 1: mean he's had the success because a he's smart. Um,
Speaker 1: he always has an open mind, he's listens, is transparent.
Speaker 1: And then you know, football is not a democracy. I mean,
Speaker 1: somebody has to decide. And when all that stuff's on
Speaker 1: the table, you know, and the obvious conclusion isn't there,
Speaker 1: then you know we're counting on him to decide. And
Speaker 1: there's a lot of decisions to be made over the
Speaker 1: next couple of days and a lot of talk about
Speaker 1: the first overall pick. But you've got two ones, You've
Speaker 1: got two twos, two fours, two fives. I mean, what
Speaker 1: a great opportunity to improve your football team. Absolutely yeah,
Speaker 1: and um and I think, uh, but that is going
Speaker 1: to be a reflection of Urban his staff obviously, and
Speaker 1: Trent and his staff, you know, so we're counting on them,
Speaker 1: uh to really get that right. And one of the
Speaker 1: things to follow up on that, I've heard you made
Speaker 1: a comment before about how the mental aspect sometimes wasn't
Speaker 1: maybe made as important, and going forward, the mental aspect
Speaker 1: of the players that are going to be coming into
Speaker 1: the program, maybe more emphasis put on that aspect of it.
Speaker 1: I thought that was very impressive, because sometimes it's not
Speaker 1: just about talent and physical ability. Yeah, I think, uh,
Speaker 1: it's you know, talent, the mental makeup, the desire to
Speaker 1: play here. I think, uh, that is really the desire
Speaker 1: to work hard. Uh. Those are all attributes which make
Speaker 1: a successful team. I mean you can be uh, you know,
Speaker 1: an elite athlete and but not be the perfect teammate
Speaker 1: shot con with us. There was some breaking news today
Speaker 1: social media reports. Adam Schefter one of those that said
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow recently reached out to the Jaguars and requested
Speaker 1: to try out at the tight end position. That's big news, obviously,
Speaker 1: a big name here in Jacksonville, big name in the
Speaker 1: NFL that's been out of the league for a little while.
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about that workout, JP, I
Speaker 1: mean I can tell you that we've worked him out.
Speaker 1: It's a football decision at that point, right, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: if he's good enough to play, then he can probably
Speaker 1: come play. I think that's gonna be up to Trent
Speaker 1: and Urban to you know, make the decision whenever the
Speaker 1: time he's right for them. Fair enough, Well, we appreciate
Speaker 1: your time and enjoy the night, because it is gonna
Speaker 1: be truly an exciting night for Jaguar fans everywhere. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be an epic meet. And how happy you at all?
Speaker 1: I am ready to go, So it's gonna be fabulous.
Speaker 1: Jaguar's owners shot con joining us just moments ago, and yeah,
Speaker 1: he's fired up, to say the least about everything that
Speaker 1: goes into tonight. Pumped. I mean he's he's pumped up
Speaker 1: and then rightly so. And uh, you know the one
Speaker 1: thing I think there is reason four of the excitement
Speaker 1: because this football team has a lot of opportunity to
Speaker 1: get better, and not just tonight. I mean you got
Speaker 1: two first round picks tonight, but the number of picks
Speaker 1: that you have amassed in the first four rounds, which
Speaker 1: I always call the critical rounds, because you should be
Speaker 1: drafting if not immediate starters, then eventual starters through the
Speaker 1: first four rounds. Rounds five and six and beyond become
Speaker 1: essentially a stroke of luck. But the first four rounds
Speaker 1: you should be able to make your football team better
Speaker 1: than This team has a lot of opportunities, so many
Speaker 1: ten picks going into the draft will see how many
Speaker 1: players they get out of those ten picks. After Saturday
Speaker 1: is done, we have plenty ahead On Jaguars Happy Hour.

Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Our presented by the Duval Motor Company,
Speaker 1: j P. Shadrick, Jeff Logman Our thanks to Jaguar's owner
Speaker 1: shot Con for joining us earlier today, Head coach Urban Meyer.
Speaker 1: You can catch the archives of those coming up a
Speaker 1: little bit later on the team's site. And a busy
Speaker 1: show continues. You know, we haven't really touched on the
Speaker 1: Tebow stuff much. It's the big blow up on social
Speaker 1: media today that all these reports that Tebow is either
Speaker 1: asked for or worked out for the Jaguars as a
Speaker 1: tight end. So that has blown Twitter already. On a
Speaker 1: crazy night on Draft night anyway, on NFL Twitter, you
Speaker 1: throw that name in the mix and here we go.
Speaker 1: It'll last till about eight o'clock and when the draft starts,
Speaker 1: the people will forget about that because, Uh, for me,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a non it's a non story as
Speaker 1: it relates to this football team, because but I mean
Speaker 1: it is a story because it's Tim Tebow. I mean
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow is a former first round pick quarterback. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's not because Tim Tebow is more than
Speaker 1: that here, I mean, I mean Tim Tim Tebow has
Speaker 1: been an iconic figure for a lot of different reasons,
Speaker 1: for not only his career at Florida, but also his
Speaker 1: career is a quarterback in the National Football League, for
Speaker 1: his minor league baseball career, for his faith and in
Speaker 1: service to this community. And so for many reasons, he
Speaker 1: has a very popular figure. And uh, and is it
Speaker 1: a story that he is trying out for tight end?
Speaker 1: I just remember when when he was coming out, they
Speaker 1: were talking about his best position would be tight end, right,
Speaker 1: and he was resistant to doin that. Come full circle,
Speaker 1: you know, now he's working out of the tight end again.
Speaker 1: You know. Anyway, this is this is a night about
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. This is not a night about Tim Tebow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all that stuff can come at some point if he
Speaker 1: signs and and and all of a sudden he's on
Speaker 1: the ninety man and here we go and he's working
Speaker 1: out at O T A S then that can change
Speaker 1: that narrative. But tonight is the first round of the
Speaker 1: NFL Draft and there are two first round picks for
Speaker 1: this football team, and we caught up with another first
Speaker 1: round pick for this football team from back You know him,
Speaker 1: you love him, Fred Taylor, prior to the Jaguars running
Speaker 1: back our Coast on Jaguars postgame Radio. We got his
Speaker 1: thoughts about the number one overall pick and what is
Speaker 1: ahead for this organization and a good visit earlier this week.
Speaker 1: You know, to have the number one pick, you have
Speaker 1: a talent like Trevor Lawrence. You know, just the potential
Speaker 1: that uh that that surrounds him. You know, it's huge
Speaker 1: and not just on the field, off the field, and
Speaker 1: I think the Jacksonville community will embrace that. I think
Speaker 1: he'll embrace the Jacksonville community. Um, he recently was married,
Speaker 1: so you know, he's a guy who's here. You know,
Speaker 1: everything on the outside is taking care of. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure his sole focus is gonna go on football and
Speaker 1: making the Jaguars better. I'm again I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: see him get out there and perform. The Jaguars have
Speaker 1: have haven't found their niche at that position. You know,
Speaker 1: and I can easily say in my opinion that Mark
Speaker 1: Brunel by far has been the best quarterback in the
Speaker 1: franchise's history. And uh, Mark was solid. You know, I
Speaker 1: love Mark, but we've over the years tried to find
Speaker 1: a guy to replace Mark, a guy that will be
Speaker 1: there as long as Mark and uh do the things
Speaker 1: that Mark did. Hopefully Trevor is the guy. Hopefully we
Speaker 1: won't have to worry about, you know, another first round
Speaker 1: quarterback for at least the next fifteen years, right, Um,
Speaker 1: that would be a blessing for the Jaguar. Fred Taylor
Speaker 1: with us there is another first round pick. Though overall
Speaker 1: it's a little tougher to handicap, if you will, because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that can happen, and the
Speaker 1: Jags did a lot of work in free agency to
Speaker 1: give them some flexibility at that overall pick as well.
Speaker 1: And they've got the thirty third pick the first to
Speaker 1: the second round and another in the second round, so
Speaker 1: there's a lot of equity there late first into the
Speaker 1: second where it could be a sweet spot where you're
Speaker 1: finding a few different guys. Urban said it the other day, though, Fred,
Speaker 1: he you know, he wants people, especially those first four
Speaker 1: picks to be able to come in and contribute right away.
Speaker 1: What do you want to see at in the first round.
Speaker 1: You know it's again you said it's a lot of
Speaker 1: draft eck we there. Uh, they can do a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff. You know, they can take if they wanted
Speaker 1: two couple one of those second round picks with and
Speaker 1: move up or the second you know one early you know,
Speaker 1: the second second round picking pick and maybe like a
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth round pick and move up higher, you know,
Speaker 1: into the teams. Um, so they can really get creative.
Speaker 1: But to answer your question, just that that slide itself,
Speaker 1: I think I'm thinking, uh, offensive line O T or
Speaker 1: DT for the most part, maybe even safety. I remember, uh,
Speaker 1: now it's been let's ce j P about twenty three
Speaker 1: years the Jaguars. I remember having two first round picks,
Speaker 1: the ninth in the twenty is and uh, they landed
Speaker 1: myself and Donovan Darius. You know, we ended up being
Speaker 1: two pretty good players making an immediate impact, you know
Speaker 1: in year one, and hopefully, uh, they can do the
Speaker 1: same with the first two picks. So I'm thinking ot DT.
Speaker 1: I I think the defensive tackle out of Alabama, Uh,
Speaker 1: he can come in and contribute right now or more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he can come in and play right now. I think
Speaker 1: as high motor, he can get after the passer, he
Speaker 1: can play run against the run. And uh, he can
Speaker 1: come in and play now because we just don't have
Speaker 1: you know that that position completely just solidified. I think
Speaker 1: you come in and play now. Uh. And then in
Speaker 1: the second I think you're still going you look at
Speaker 1: receiver dB something like that tighten tight end, Yes, tight end.
Speaker 1: They're still looking for a pass catching tight end option there.
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor with us final thought here, Fred, you know,
Speaker 1: as a first round draft pick, you you know what
Speaker 1: it's like to have to sit there during the first
Speaker 1: draft to draft and wait to hear your name called.
Speaker 1: You know, were you expecting to go as high as
Speaker 1: you dead? What were your feelings, what was your draft
Speaker 1: day situation around you? What are your memories of that
Speaker 1: day leading up to it? You know, I was projected
Speaker 1: first round, but I was smart enough not to go
Speaker 1: to New York. I was like, no, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: be that guy. You know, because you just don't know,
Speaker 1: Like I can't imagine, especially watching the draft, what these
Speaker 1: players are doing in the green room. You know, they're
Speaker 1: sitting back there and they're hearing I'm projected to go
Speaker 1: top ten and all of a sudden, top ten is done,
Speaker 1: now fifteen is done in twenties like and you're just
Speaker 1: sitting there. That's an awful feeling. I can think of
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, you know, a guy who's terrorizing the NFL.
Speaker 1: Why did he slip so far? My most vivid memory
Speaker 1: on draft day is the phone ring, you know, the
Speaker 1: phone ringing me telling everybody you know, be quiet, be quiet,
Speaker 1: you know, and uh just saying a nine oh four
Speaker 1: area ago. And I learned quickly, um that Jacksonville potentially
Speaker 1: could be my home. Uh after this phone car I
Speaker 1: picked up and uh, hey, young man, I can't I
Speaker 1: might my tc impersonation sucks. But uh, you say you're
Speaker 1: ready to be a Jaguar. I'm like, yeah, of course, Coach.
Speaker 1: Of course. He's like, well, we're gonna take you here
Speaker 1: with the ninth pick. Congratulations. We'll see you in a
Speaker 1: couple of hours. A couple hours, what do you mean
Speaker 1: a couple of hours? So I had to fly to
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and didn't own a suit. Uh Skip Richardson, who's
Speaker 1: still Team security to this day. Uh, Skip took me
Speaker 1: to the men's warehouse right there on the Arlington Expressway,
Speaker 1: just our off Regency. We got a blazer, a nice
Speaker 1: little black Mark shirt and uh some black pants, and
Speaker 1: I went in, I did my press conference. The rest
Speaker 1: is history. But that day is certainly a dream come
Speaker 1: true for the draft picks. Uh. And again, it doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter where you start, right, you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: mattered that you're still standing in the smoke when it
Speaker 1: smoke clear here, as as step from Diggs just recently
Speaker 1: said on our podcast. But I salute those guys, man,
Speaker 1: and I congratulated all of them for their hard work
Speaker 1: leading up to the draft, what they've done in college.
Speaker 1: But this is the reset. It's a new beginning and
Speaker 1: they have to dig in all over again. You have
Speaker 1: to prove yourself all over again. And hopefully Trevor can
Speaker 1: come in and do the same, and hopefully the other guys,
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't want to put all the
Speaker 1: weight on trevor shoulder. Well, hopefully the other guys can
Speaker 1: contribute throughout the draft, the guys that are there already
Speaker 1: on the team, and they can make some magic happen
Speaker 1: and we can get back to winning a row that's
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor pride to the Jaguars running back and what
Speaker 1: a story first round memories there Fred when waiting on
Speaker 1: the phone call and then I'm gonna go find a
Speaker 1: suit when you're ride. Well. Skip Richardson, who has been
Speaker 1: a part of this organization since the very beginning, has
Speaker 1: taken care of a lot of things in this Jaguars history,
Speaker 1: and that is just one of the small things that
Speaker 1: he's taken care of, making sure Freddie had a suit
Speaker 1: because Tom Coffin had a certain expectation with all the
Speaker 1: draft picks when they are around the media, no doubt
Speaker 1: about that. Always going to catch up with Fred has
Speaker 1: been a little too long. We haven't heard from him
Speaker 1: on anywhere. Freddie's the best love working with him during
Speaker 1: the season with the post game and everything and uh
Speaker 1: and you know, Freddie's first year was my last year
Speaker 1: in the league, and and so I tried to raise
Speaker 1: Fred the right way with the limited time that I
Speaker 1: got to spend with him. And I just remember him
Speaker 1: as a as a young player. He had such immense talent,
Speaker 1: I mean in talent that was just you wish you
Speaker 1: had some of the physical capabilities that Fred had and
Speaker 1: a truly special player and arguably the greatest Jaguars player
Speaker 1: in history, the best, the greatest player period. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean played for a long long time at a high,
Speaker 1: high level. Him and Boselli, I'm right at the top. Sure,
Speaker 1: those two guys are are simply the best in Jaguars history,
Speaker 1: and you can switch them out however you want to.
Speaker 1: Let's come back in a moment. We'll go to Cleveland, Ohio,

Speaker 1: talking a lot of food here tonight. There will be
Speaker 1: a lot of food in this place tonight. Let's go
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, Ohio side of the NFL draft, where Brian
Speaker 1: Sexton is standing by this evening the Jaguars, Brian have
Speaker 1: two picks. What's the scene? How's the weather all of
Speaker 1: a sudden in Cleveland. By the way, I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear about ice cream because that's no snack for Cleveland,
Speaker 1: and lots will get this right now. It feels like
Speaker 1: so many November afternoons here in Cleveland when the Jackie
Speaker 1: are rounds. It's ut eight degrees. It is a cold,
Speaker 1: it is windy, it is rainy. It feels like a
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. Yeah, so welcome to the Lake Erie, the
Speaker 1: shores of Lake Erie. Right, That's why we like living
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Can we hear it was a little, a
Speaker 1: little light good. I'm excited to come back tomorrow. It
Speaker 1: is cold up here, not freezing, and my choice of
Speaker 1: jacket has more to do with the rain than it
Speaker 1: does the cold and the wind. But there's not a
Speaker 1: huge crowd here this evening yet at least, and I
Speaker 1: don't know that there will beat obviously COVID is still
Speaker 1: an issue, but you can tell talking to people that
Speaker 1: they're excited to have the draft back live after a
Speaker 1: year where the commissioner worked from his basement and all
Speaker 1: of us were in different locations. It feels closer to normal.
Speaker 1: And so when you see the fans walking to the
Speaker 1: stage over my shoulder, there there's an energy level. It
Speaker 1: feels to them like football is back, and we're four
Speaker 1: months from football being back. So the Jaguars, Brian have
Speaker 1: two first round picks in their pocket today, number one overall,
Speaker 1: number overall, and you've been here since before the beginning.
Speaker 1: This is one of those nights where people will remember
Speaker 1: where they were first of all, and everything that happened
Speaker 1: before tonight and everything that happened after tonight. Well, Tonight's
Speaker 1: the big part of both of those comments. It feels like,
Speaker 1: if you're Biblical at all, it's like BC and a
Speaker 1: D right BT before Trevor and a T. I guess
Speaker 1: you'd say, after Trevor arrived, everything changes tonight. We've waited
Speaker 1: twenty seven years for everything to align, for the Dragon
Speaker 1: Wars to be in a position where the top quarterback
Speaker 1: is there for them to take, and everyone that I've
Speaker 1: talked to up here in Cleveland, whether live or in
Speaker 1: zoom like I had with Charles Davis yesterday. Thinks his
Speaker 1: kids can't miss and he certainly looks the part. And
Speaker 1: all of us have watched him the last three years
Speaker 1: and waited to see what kind of professional he's going
Speaker 1: to be. Well, he's gonna be a guy who wears
Speaker 1: teal and I have to tell you the story. Like you,
Speaker 1: I watched that game against Alabama his freshman year JP.
Speaker 1: I wasn't as deflated by it as you probably were.
Speaker 1: But the worst kept secret in the NFL that year
Speaker 1: was that the Jaguars were going to sign Nick Foles.
Speaker 1: So I did a little math, try to lay out
Speaker 1: a timeline, and I thought, there's no way that Jaguars
Speaker 1: will have a shot at this kid he comes out,
Speaker 1: Because I was assuming that Foles would be successful, they'd
Speaker 1: win enough games to be somewhere in the middle of
Speaker 1: the pack, and would continue on this where's the franchise
Speaker 1: quarterback road that they've been on for so long. So
Speaker 1: when Foals got hurt and it didn't work out and
Speaker 1: we were all bummed out, look at where it brought
Speaker 1: them to. Sometimes a step back is required to go forward,
Speaker 1: and that it was more than a step back. It
Speaker 1: might have been about two or three steps. They were
Speaker 1: jumping backwards, skipping backwards. In fact, Brian Sexton with us
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, Ohio. We heard from Charles Davis. You also
Speaker 1: had a chance for Brian to catch up with Kurt Warner,
Speaker 1: the great quarterback in the NFL now NFL Network analyst,
Speaker 1: and he discussed the presumptive number one overall pick. It's
Speaker 1: a quarterback driven league and that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1: And we always say if you don't have one, you
Speaker 1: don't really have a chance to compete in this business. So, uh,
Speaker 1: that's what it all comes down to. When you're a
Speaker 1: team that's searching for that guy, that franchise guy, that's
Speaker 1: really where it starts and ends. And we know that's
Speaker 1: you know, it's a team game ultimately comes down to
Speaker 1: all fifty three, but it always does start at that position.
Speaker 1: And so I know Jacksonville is excited. Obviously, it's a
Speaker 1: great class of quarterbacks. I think we all know that
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Trevor at number one um and you know,
Speaker 1: he's a great prospect, He's a guy has done a
Speaker 1: lot of great things in college, carries himself well, which
Speaker 1: is obviously a huge important piece, but just had a
Speaker 1: complete career and he's got such a great skill set.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see how that skill set translates to
Speaker 1: the next level. So that's Kurt Warner catched the full visit. Yes,
Speaker 1: Brian and Trevor. Lawrence was in seventh grade. The people
Speaker 1: at Cartersville High and Georgia were anxiously awaiting his arrival
Speaker 1: as a freshman, where he supplanted a senior who went
Speaker 1: on to play at Alabama change his position to tight end.
Speaker 1: They waited for him at Clemson. We've waited for him
Speaker 1: in the NFL. This is a guy. One in fifteen
Speaker 1: was painful, It was worth it. Millard forrest All was
Speaker 1: that kid's name at Cartersville who's now tight end at
Speaker 1: Alabama coming out this year also, and he knocked off
Speaker 1: Kelly Bryant at Clemson, by the way, and he had
Speaker 1: to transfer out. And it was Trevor's show from then forward. Brian, quickly,
Speaker 1: what's your pick at twenty five tonight? You know, I
Speaker 1: think there's so much offense at the top of this
Speaker 1: draft JP and I keep hearing more offense in terms
Speaker 1: of the offensive lineman going in the top fifteen sixteen picks.
Speaker 1: That's gonna push a top defensive player that none of
Speaker 1: us were expecting might be there. I'd love it to
Speaker 1: be Christian Barmore because he's here, and then we could
Speaker 1: follow him around and get on the plane to come
Speaker 1: home tomorrow instead of being on United Airlines White. It
Speaker 1: works for me. Uh. If not Christian Barmore logs, I'd
Speaker 1: love to get your opinion, but I have fallen in
Speaker 1: love with Zaven Collins. I thought that you did a
Speaker 1: great job of of of letting out your inner Pete
Speaker 1: Prisco there, Brian, it's good for me. It's how many
Speaker 1: times have we stood on the sidelines at that stadium
Speaker 1: right over there. You can't see it, but it's right
Speaker 1: over there next to the heaters pregame because it was
Speaker 1: so cold. I'll give you. We have that that I
Speaker 1: think is by far the best defensive player in the draft,
Speaker 1: and that's Micah Parsons, the linebacker from Penn State. Uh.
Speaker 1: From from my experience watching the film of all these
Speaker 1: potential first round draft picks, he stands head and shoulders
Speaker 1: above the rest, and obviously they didn't play football last year.
Speaker 1: He didn't play, so that's gonna knock him down a
Speaker 1: little bit, which could be a good situation for the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna run a three four, you can
Speaker 1: get a guy that can play multiple positions, and good
Speaker 1: football players translate anywhere on any defense. Well, in the
Speaker 1: same way, if you're going to run a base three four,
Speaker 1: you need a lot more linebackers than you've ever had
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, Brian, stay warm, you would ever to enjoy
Speaker 1: the evening up there and get in out of the cold.
Speaker 1: We're about to Brian sexy with us in Cleveland, Ohio
Speaker 1: side of NFL Draft. He sounded cold. That was because
Speaker 1: he's here. It makes sense. It's only twelve players there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and know what the and I think the NFL obviously
Speaker 1: is very understanding because with COVID still affecting and a
Speaker 1: lot of the young people in America haven't gotten vaccinated yet,
Speaker 1: so they're slowly working on that. It just give you
Speaker 1: a perfect example. My son who's twenty is in the
Speaker 1: process of doing that, and some of our young associates
Speaker 1: that we have and no here are in the process
Speaker 1: doing the same thing. So next year, I think we
Speaker 1: get back to being completely normal and so I totally
Speaker 1: understand Brian's thoughts. Right there, you're you're going on Michael Parsons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that je certainly. He He is the and for me,
Speaker 1: the best defensive player in this draft. He can do anything.
Speaker 1: He is a freak when it comes to put it
Speaker 1: this way, if you were to take um all the
Speaker 1: great attributes of the linebacker has okay, outside linebacker, inside linebacker,
Speaker 1: roll them into one package, and and defensive end. Put
Speaker 1: it all in one package. That's Michael Parsons. Big, strong, physical,
Speaker 1: can run, can run. I'm talking just like Miles Jack,
Speaker 1: but physically much bigger. Great player, great player. I'm talking
Speaker 1: head and shoulders. The best defensive player in this trap.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I'm gonna go with bar Moore, but
Speaker 1: I might change that by eight o'clock tonight. Who knows.
Speaker 1: There's a There's gonna be a lot of good players,
Speaker 1: and I'll give you another one. JP uh Vera Tucker,
Speaker 1: the the offensive tackle from USC I think might be
Speaker 1: one of the besides the Oregon offensive tackle Pinney School.
Speaker 1: I think he's the second best tackle in the draft.
Speaker 1: So plenty to come. Seven o'clock tonight the Draft Show
Speaker 1: on ten ten x L Radio. You'll be a part
Speaker 1: of that. Tony was Sally Frank Frangie as well. Our
Speaker 1: thanks to Shad con urban Meyer, Brian Sexton, Fred Taylor
Speaker 1: for our entire team. I'm j P. Shadrick. It's Jaguar's
Speaker 1: Happy Hour.
