1
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to jags Am. I'm Brian Sexton standing

2
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: in Kai Stevens spot, JP Shadrick sitting in my spot

3
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: on the couch, and John oser is where he always is.

4
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to jags Am. It's the start of a busy

5
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: period here in the off season, so let's get right

6
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: to big things and we'll go with here we go, Jaguars.

7
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: It feels like we're towards the end of the off

8
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: the field period of the off season. Free agency, the

9
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: salary cap, Josh Allen has done. That leaves us with

10
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: just the draft, which comes up a week from Thursday.

11
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: So let me pitch it to you. JP Shadrick first

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: of all, welcome to the show. How's the off season

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: gone in your estimation?

14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so far, so good. Right. They checked some boxes

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: and free agency that was number one priority. A lot

16
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: of the fans might say, oh, they missed out on

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley. That aside. They got Josh Allen done. That

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: was a huge priority for them. So that deal is

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: in the books and ready to roll and they can

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: move forward there and now it's onto the draft and

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: the offseason programs here as well. So, so far, so

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: good in my.

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: Estimation, John, it seems like most of the questions have

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: already been answered.

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they've done what they had to do.

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: You know, they had to fix center, they had to

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: do some things on the defensive line to get more stout.

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: It feels like they've done that. How free agency actually works,

29
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 3: we'll see it play out on the field. But they

30
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: did as JP said, they checked the boxes. I think

31
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: they've got themselves in a situation where they can almost

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: draft just for best available player. I think there's a

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: whole cornerback they need to fill, but I think they

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: know what they want in the draft of that position.

35
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: All right back to the big board for big thing too.

36
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: And that's the lights are on at the midder elector

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: at center. Yesterday the player return for the beginning phases

38
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: of the off season program. And as guys are walking

39
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: in and as you guys are getting ready to talk

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: to players today and the coach and the general manager

41
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: later this week, what's the number one storyline that you

42
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: were interested in following? John?

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: Uh, Probably, it's probably pretty obvious. It's probably Trevor to me,

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: all the check boxes stuff, all of the Hey, we

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: fixed defensive tackle, we did this, We did this. Those

46
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: are all minimal improvements. Trevor Lawrence improving his turnovers, improving

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: his overall efficiency. UH, taking that next step, all votes

48
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: will rise if the big ship rises JP, no.

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: Doubt about that, and that's where it starts. But for me,

50
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: I think it's the bigger picture. You know, how high

51
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: does this team rise with the tide? You know they were,

52
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: they were right there on the doorstep and then to

53
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: the lapse at the end of the last season. Can

54
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: they get past that mentally as a team And we've

55
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: they've proven the last two years there at least a

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: nine win football team, different results both years obviously, so

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: what is the next step? And as an organization, how

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: do they take that? The quarterbacks the number one reason

59
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: why they could take that step, but everything around that

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: has to be really in good place as well.

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm kind of laser focused on the same story I've

62
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: had since the end of last season. That's the offensive line. Obviously,

63
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: bringing in Mitch Morse and making sure that they were

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: solid with Ezra Cleveland at the left guard spot. We'll

65
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: see how that plays out both as they get going

66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: on the field in May with OTAs and what they

67
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: decided to do next week in the draft. Brings us

68
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: to a question of the draft, and that's the reality

69
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: or the perception, however you choose to look at it,

70
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars must get a wide receiver in the

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: first round, that it's paramount that they go grab that

72
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: big target and that might mean moving up JP. We're

73
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: a Roma Dounze, who seems to be the third of

74
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: the big three. So I asked you because I have

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: a nineteen year old son who is sold on the

76
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: idea they have to have a receiver, even in a

77
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: receiver rich draft. As we're told this one is reality

78
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: of perception, receivers the number one priority for this team.

79
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: I don't think that's reality. They've got receivers they can

80
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: go play right now. I mean if they didn't have

81
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: guys to go run on the field in September at

82
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: wide receiver, then yeah, you probably need one at this moment.

83
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: Do they need one down the line? Most likely considering

84
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: the free agency dollars that they've spent at that position.

85
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: But I don't think right now is the key and

86
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: the way that the college football games played right now,

87
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: there are receivers that should be available that are good, talented,

88
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: receivers in most every draft in the foreseeable future. So

89
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: you know, unless all of a sudden, Marvin Harrison's in

90
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: your lap, I don't think you're trading the farm to

91
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: go up in the draft to go get some wide receiver,

92
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: no matter who it is, at least for me at

93
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: this point.

94
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think your little guys can be disappointed. I

95
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: mean it's I think it's perception that it's a need.

96
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: I think there's a little bit of a narrative that

97
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: because they tried to pay Ridley and I guess they

98
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: reported we went after the San Francisco wide receiver. You

99
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: know that they're desperate at that position. I don't feel that.

100
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: I don't think they'll go that route. I don't think

101
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 3: they think they need to go that route. There's a

102
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: belief with this offense. I mean, the Chiefs Eagles when

103
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 3: Peterson was there, can play without a number one as

104
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: long as you've got three or four really good options.

105
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 3: They've got that. I think they'll go receiver second or

106
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 3: third round, because, as you said, Brian, it's a deep draft.

107
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: I sorry, little man, I think you're gonna be disappointed.

108
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: Listen and he'll see this. John and he's gonna go,

109
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: what the hell is John's problem? But none of it right,

110
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: none of us can really answer that. But just shifted

111
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: it back real quick to the idea of how long

112
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: it takes for a receiver, even a top receiver. You know,

113
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: if it's Marvin Harrison junior or elite neighbors or Roma Donze,

114
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee, even though they're physically talented and produced

115
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: at the highest levels of college football, that they're going

116
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: to be able to come in and be that difference

117
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: maker as a rookie. Job.

118
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it happens more now because the game, the college

119
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: game is more wide open. It's still a different kind

120
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: of passing game than the NFL, but you do see

121
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: it more you started to do with Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase,

122
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 3: guys like that come in and make a huge impact.

123
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: But at its core, it's almost a different sport the

124
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: NFL than college football. So it's not a guarantee that

125
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: guys come in and I contribute right away at the

126
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: elite level. Now that being said, I'm going to talk

127
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: about both sides of my mouth, where there's a belief

128
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: where second and third even fourth round guys this year

129
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: can come in and be a part of something. I

130
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 3: think that's what they need more in anything. The perception

131
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: that they need a one. Look, I don't know that

132
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: they need a one. If Christian Kirkins a Jones are

133
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: healthy on the field the entire year, or whoever's if

134
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 3: it's a third round receiver who comes in and takes

135
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: one of those guys' spot. If they get eight touchdowns

136
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: seven hundred and fifty yards out of four different guys,

137
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: that puts them at the top of the league in passing.

138
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: They think this bunch can get them.

139
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: That just one more thought. The Falcons years ago, JP

140
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: traded an entire draft essentially to go get Julio Jones,

141
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: a guy I know you know from your days at Alabama.

142
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: You saw Marvin Harrison this year when you did the

143
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: Michigan Ohio State game. Is Marvin Harrison to Julio Jones?

144
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: Is he worth that sort of a move up? Not

145
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: saying that the Jaguars and the team to do that,

146
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: but that anybody might be willing to give up a

147
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: host of draft picks to go find.

148
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: Him, big, strong and fast. Is he Julio? How many

149
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: people are a great question, But if anybody could kind

150
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: of follow in those footsteps. It feels like Harrison could

151
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: be that guy. Had a huge game of career high

152
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: catches against Penn State, including the game ceiling touchdown late

153
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: in that one across her and he kind of went

154
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: up the sideline and and then of course in the

155
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: Michigan game they fell in that game, but he had

156
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: some catches in that outing as well. Big, tall, strong, fast,

157
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: bloodlines everything you want in Marvin Harrison. So he yeah,

158
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: he could be that guy. Somebody makes a move up

159
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: to go get if you really feel like you need

160
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: a number one type receiver? Is he Julio?

161
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: Who is?

162
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: But we'll find out maybe ten or fifteen years.

163
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: All right, fellas, those are your big things when we

164
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: come back. We hear all the time that it takes

165
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: three years to accurately put a grade on a draft class. Well,

166
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: it's been three years since the twenty twenty one class,

167
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: which was selected by Trent Bulky. So we'll take a

168
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: look at where the Jaguars are with the twenty twenty

169
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: one class, the production they've got, their hopes for the future,

170
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: and what the twenty twenty one draft class should be

171
00:08:41,520 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: graded at when we return here on Jags Am move

172
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: the freight, move the frame, folks. The good folks at

173
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,520

177
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: Kay Stevens. JP Shatick is kind enough to join us today. Edward.

178
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 2: By the way, this is early in the morning, is

179
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: it for you? It depends on the day before.

180
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: I suppose all those late nights. Where were you last

181
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: night at nine to fifteens? It's great, It's nice to

182
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: have you. Are you okay with that?

183
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: John? What's that having? JPP?

184
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: Okay?

185
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: So, look, we talk all the time. When the draft

186
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: class is selected. Everyone wants to throw a grade on it.

187
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: It's clickbait on the different websites, and people want to

188
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: be able to make flash judgments. Three years later, though,

189
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: we can take an accurate look I think at the

190
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one draft class, which is clearly one of

191
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: the biggest in Jaguars history, with Trevor Lawrence at the

192
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: very top of it. So let's put a grade on it, right.

193
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: Let me throw these guys out to you, and you

194
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: see right there that there are six players from that

195
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: draft class who are either starters or contributors. And obviously,

196
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has a seventeen and sixteen regular season record

197
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: the last two years, has a playoff win and a

198
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: playoff loss, fifty nine touchdowns or fifty eight touchdowns, thirty

199
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: nine interceptions, and we know that he had turnover issues

200
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: last year. And we'll stay in the first round. Travis

201
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: Etn back to back thousand yard seasons after missing his

202
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: rookie year, seventeen touchdowns and some really big plays. If

203
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: that made the biggest play of his career is that

204
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: twenty five yard run on fourth down against the Chargers

205
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: to set up the game winning field goal. A's on

206
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: both of those first picks.

207
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think certainly for Etn, right, I mean, the

208
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: way he's played and those big moments he talked about

209
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: and the touchdowns, and he's starting to really feels like

210
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: coming to his own as a running back. The Trevor

211
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: Lawrence stuff, right, you know, the first year kind of

212
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: wash thrown out because of the urban stuff and the

213
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: playoff run. Yeah, he was great down the stretch of that,

214
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: but he also had four turnovers in the playoff game

215
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: and against the Chargers ended up winning the game coming back.

216
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: So let's see, let's see what happens this year. I

217
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: think you will find out more about the great on

218
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 2: Lawrence this year than you'll even know before, because if

219
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: it's not happening this year, then there are some huge questions,

220
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: which brings the other question, do you make the deal

221
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: now and move get get done with that? Has he

222
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: shown you enough? I think it's a B plus for

223
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: Trevor right now. I think he's still.

224
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: Got some more approve Yeah. It's it's so hard to

225
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 3: grade number one overall quarterback because if he's not Mahomes

226
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: standing there with the trophy, people are like, well he's

227
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: a bust. I mean, it's not either of those things.

228
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: I think he's he's still trending, right. I don't want

229
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: to not put a grade on it, so I'll go.

230
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: I think B plus is about right. He's certainly not

231
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: an F. He's certainly not a D or a C.

232
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: So he's getting there. And I think if it wasn't,

233
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: you know, you can't do this because he was number

234
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: one overall, But if there wasn't so much focus, I

235
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: think people are automatically Oh yeah, a good pick. But

236
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: it's it's Trevor, It's it's everything he was supposed to be.

237
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: Has he lived up to being the second Coming? Not yet,

238
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: but he's not shown that he's not that yet, So

239
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: I think B plus is fine.

240
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's move to the second round. And

241
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: I think we learned last year how valuable Tyson Campbell was.

242
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: You remember he had the hamstring injury against the Colts

243
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: that just seemed to linger into December. But truthfully, I

244
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: don't think he looked like himself the rest of the year.

245
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: He has been a very productive player for this football team.

246
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: I think he has seven interceptions.

247
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah it feels like that. And he's gotten better with

248
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 2: the ball in the air. Remember early in his career,

249
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: you know, he had troubled down the field and looking

250
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: back losing the ball and then losing the defector and

251
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: he's standing in the end zone with the football. So

252
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: he's gotten better as the years have gone on. Let's

253
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: see it in the system, right, this is supposed to

254
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: be a press, you know, up against the line and

255
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: a lot of contact, bump and run type of system.

256
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 2: Can Tyson do that? I think he has the ability

257
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: to do that, and he's been a good player for

258
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: this team.

259
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: Buss.

260
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, you asked for a Yeah, I'll give

261
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: him a bee.

262
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I think there's if.

263
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: You're gonna be a front line corner, there are some

264
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 2: things that he has not shown to be that top tier,

265
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: number one lockdown corner.

266
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm gonna say, b With it's so hard because

267
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: we're coming off the season. Like you said, it just

268
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: feels like a lost season. You had to pick against Indianapolis.

269
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 3: Beyond that, you can't really remember very much that he did.

270
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: I've got to believe, based on what we saw from

271
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two that the reason we didn't see much

272
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 3: was the hamster. Yeah, so almost a bee with an

273
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: asterisk if he what he was. He felt really good

274
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: about him in twenty twenty two. But coming off a hammy,

275
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: you know, you want to see complete, you know, fifteen

276
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: out of seventeen games going one hundred percent. So he again,

277
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: he's a hard guy to grade for me because I

278
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: want to be able to rely on it, and it

279
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: feels like be with an incomplete.

280
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's stay in the second round. John Walker

281
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: Little forty games played, nine starts. He started at left tackle,

282
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: he started at right tackle, he started at left guard.

283
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: He's been a pretty versatile player. I don't think he's

284
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: he's quite reached the level that we thought when we

285
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: first came as a rookie, where he looked so athletic

286
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: and so powerful. Obviously, he's one of the highest rated

287
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: the recruits coming out of high school when he came out,

288
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: and there was a top player at Stanford before getting hurt.

289
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: What do you see from him because he's in the

290
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: final year of his deal.

291
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought I'm waffling on this, but if he's

292
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: a third rounder, I feel like it's a beat second rounder.

293
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 3: I feel like it's a C because you've got to

294
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 3: sort of live up to draft potential. He didn't grasp

295
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: or didn't grab a hold of that left tackle spot

296
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: last year or a starting position, So he's going into

297
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: a swing tackle that's valuable for the Jaguars and they're

298
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: a better team with Walker little on it and he's

299
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: an asset. But in terms of draft grade, i'd say,

300
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: you know, the minus C plus in there because he

301
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 3: was a second round pick and you sort of think

302
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: by year four that should be a.

303
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Start, you know, to be fair, when Cam Robinson got

304
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: hurt against the Cowboys at the end of the twenty

305
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: twenty two season, Walker Little stepped in and the momentum

306
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: didn't stop. He played very well down the stretch and

307
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. So we have seen some really good

308
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: football from them.

309
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: Joal arguments that he was better than Cam Robinson down

310
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: the stretch. I mean, we had Jeff Flaghman and some

311
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: of those guys. I'm here saying just that that Walker

312
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: Little's performance was better at that moment. Did it carry over?

313
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: Did he win the job? Did he win the right tackle?

314
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: No?

315
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: Against Jawan Taylor, did.

316
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: He It may have been injuries. There's some injuries to

317
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: him last year, so maybe it's not fair to say,

318
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: well he wasn't this or that. But but to.

319
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: Your point, Cam Robinson was the second round pick, first

320
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: pick of the second round. He was a starter right

321
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: away and has not been off the field right second

322
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: round pick should be starters sooner rather than later if

323
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: they're not day one, and for whatever the circumstances were

324
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: around here, he has not been able to overcome that

325
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: and become a day to day starter.

326
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: Well, look, my perception is is that the Jaguars have

327
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: a hole to fill at left tackle going into the

328
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season because Cam's deal ends this year

329
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: and Walker's on the final year of his rookie year.

330
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: He hasn't had a chance or, as you've mentioned, claimed

331
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: that job. So you go, well, look the future set

332
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: at left tackle, and I don't know that he can

333
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: do that this year because he's not going to be

334
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: the starter. John you mentioned he's a swing.

335
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Anton's gonna go over there at that.

336
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

337
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

338
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: By the way, I didn't give you a grede c plus.

339
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well let's let's go to the third round.

340
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Andre Cisco. He's the guy who has seven interceptions. I

341
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: got that wrong earlier. I think Tyson has three, but

342
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: seven interceptions the last two years. He didn't play a

343
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: lot as a rookie and has been an impact player

344
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: for this team back there in the heart of.

345
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 3: The defense, yago be. I mean he's been really really

346
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: good at times. Again, a third round pick. You like

347
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: the production where he a first round pick, you'd you know,

348
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: so for third round pick, very very good, and I

349
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 3: think he's still got some steps to take. I mean,

350
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: can see how he transitions to this defense. Uh big

351
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 3: sort of what the book on him was, big play

352
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 3: guy is gonna make picks, nose for the ball. He's

353
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 3: had that. The entire secondary him included. Had some breakdowns

354
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: last year that you didn't like.

355
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: He's gotten better at that over the years. Just the

356
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 2: ball hawking and stuff that was promised has really come

357
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: into fruition. So would you go with B plus B Yeah,

358
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 2: give me a B minus because I think he can

359
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: be better than these been shown. And that's not a

360
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: knock against what he's done. He's done very well, but

361
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 2: I think his ceiling is much higher than and his

362
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: expectations for himself, I think are much higher than you

363
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: might realize. So there's a lot left on the table

364
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: for Andre Cisco, and I think he can go get.

365
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: It all right. The final contributor from the twenty twenty

366
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: one Jaguars NFL Draft class is tight end Luke Ferrell.

367
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: Twelve starts in three years, but eight of them last year.

368
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: They threw to him a couple of times last year.

369
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: He's not a big receiving tight end, but I had

370
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: more than one coach tell me that they thought that

371
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: he was a gifted blocking tight end. A guy that

372
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: you could really the equal up or greater than Chris Manhertz,

373
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: who's pretty good around here.

374
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 3: For a few years, can I go past fail? Yeah,

375
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 3: they pass.

376
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: Fifth round pick. I get it.

377
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: Seven million tight ends and what's the standard for a

378
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: blocking tight end?

379
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's been good. I think when you drafted him,

380
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: there was that little joke where you google them. The

381
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: baseball player Luke Ferrell came up and he had to

382
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 3: post that this is not me so out of sort

383
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 3: of obscurity. He has carved his way into a big

384
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 3: role here and I think he'll play in the league

385
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 3: for ten twelve years. So for a fifth round to

386
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: pass a big pass with probably if I was forced

387
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: to give a grade of BB plus, you got to

388
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: light out of pick.

389
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, but you're you're current. It's a curve

390
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 2: scale because.

391
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 3: Which thankful the fore you they had in college.

392
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: That's right. I was not a blocking tight end, but

393
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: I felt sometimes so that Yeah, that makes sense to me, right, John,

394
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: You know, he's he has a certain role here. You've

395
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: got other tight ends that are going down the field

396
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: catching balls. Put them stats obviously never had one hundred

397
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: and fourteen catches. I mean that's that's not what he's

398
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 2: going to be. Maybe in a situation here there he

399
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: gets his hand on the football. I'm with you, John,

400
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: it's it's a solid player.

401
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: He's gonna play in the league a long time.

402
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

403
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: So fifth round pick if you're going to play ten years,

404
00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: A lot of fifth round picks are out of lee.

405
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: So there's six starters contributors from the draft class.

406
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: J T.

407
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: Feley the defensive tackle from sc IS in Cincinnati, Jordan

408
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: Smith the pass rusher out of the game, Jayalen Camp,

409
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: the wide receiver out of the game. So how about

410
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: an overall grade on a draft class with five starters

411
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: and its significant contributor in Luke Ferrell, I'd say b.

412
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: I mean, it maybe hard to give an A because

413
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 3: you don't have beyond what Trevor won Pro Bowl. You

414
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 3: don't have like huge, you know, the face of the

415
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: league guy yet. But it also is a class that

416
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: clearly helped pull you out of the abyss and set

417
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: the tone for two back to back winning seasons. So

418
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: it's certainly not a bad class. And how Trevor. If

419
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: Trevor's Trevor, it's an A.

420
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 4: If everybody else is a bus Yeah, It's a B

421
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 4: for me, and it can improve to an A if

422
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 4: some of these guys get to their next deal and

423
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 4: stick around and you know, prove that they can be

424
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 4: cornerstone players for this organization.

425
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: So be with room to grow.

426
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they win a super Bowl while he's here, Andy,

427
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: Trevor's in the Hall of Fame, it's the greatest draft

428
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 3: in his plus plus plus it all will be ultimately,

429
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 3: you know this is great in ten years, it'll be

430
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 3: graded on him.

431
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: With that to be said, I'll go with a B

432
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: plus because you did get five starters and a guy here,

433
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: and we hadn't seen productive drafts like that in a

434
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: long time, So lean that way. Also, I guess the

435
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: optimism I have for who Trevor Lawrence is going to

436
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: be in his fourth season pushes me in that direction.

437
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: But that's it. After three years, we can take a

438
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: look at it, and I think that's a fair way

439
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: to grade it.

440
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 2: Were the twenty class, No, okay, okay, just make it.

441
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: Sure, no, no, all right. When we come back, we'll

442
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: turn to this year's draft, the twenty twenty four class.

443
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: We'll look a little bit at the defensive line and

444
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: some prospects and probabilities of what the Jaguars could be

445
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: looking at. That's next on jags Am. Jaguars fans here

449
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: From the Hundai studios inside the Miller Electric Center in Jacksonville,

450
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: Brian John JP joining us today, we turn our attention

451
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: to the twenty twenty four NFL Draft. We talked receiver,

452
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: We've talked cornerback, We've talked offensive line ad nauseum. But

453
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: on the heels of the Josh Allen signing late last week,

454
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: I thought maybe we'd take a look at the defensive line.

455
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: But before we get started looking at names, how probable

456
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: do you think it is that the Jaguars could spend

457
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: a first round pick on someone in their front seven

458
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: on defense.

459
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: If the draft board in the first round forces it,

460
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 3: I think it could happen. I don't know that they're

461
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: going in with that at the top of their priority list.

462
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: Eric Arms, that obviously changed that, Yeah.

463
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 3: And obviously it did. You still want to draft with

464
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 3: a five year plan. I'm not sure Eric's a five

465
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 3: year plan at this point in his career. I hope

466
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: he is. So if there's a guy there who you

467
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: think is dominant, who is a big time player, it's

468
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 3: more palpable to draft that on the defensive line sometimes

469
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: in the offensive line, meaning you rotate so much on

470
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 3: the defensive line you can get production even if he's

471
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: not a quote starter, so you can lean that way.

472
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 3: I'd be surprised if that's the pick. It's not a

473
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: there's a couple of tackles in the first round. It's

474
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: not a great class for it. So the couple of

475
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 3: guys maybe off the board and not makes sense. But philosophically,

476
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: no problem with it, because you're never going to go

477
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 3: wrong if you draft a really, really good interior defensive line.

478
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: That's about the front seven. Yeah, that includes linebackers, and

479
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: they've dge rushers. They've drafted linebackers so many linebackers around

480
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: here in the last two years. I don't think you

481
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: go that high with the linement. Maybe I'm wrong, but

482
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: and you've got the edge rushers. They're set in place

483
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: for a long time to come. I don't think it's there.

484
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: If it's anything, it's an interior d lineman, but I

485
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: think percentage chance pretty low. I mean, considering all the

486
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 2: other things that they could use more quickly than that.

487
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: Well, at seventeen it seems to be the sweet spot.

488
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: There will be a couple of cornerbacks around that area

489
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: as well as offensive linemen. But just for argument's sake,

490
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the edge rushers. Because what

491
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: if a guy like Jared Verse falls to you, right,

492
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: you can never have enough pass rush. We always go

493
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: back to the Giants and feeding the undefeated Patriots in

494
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: January of two thousand and eight, and Jared versus a

495
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: guy it's hard to kind of figure out where he

496
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: falls in this equation, but hyper productive at Florida State

497
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years.

498
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: I think he tested pretty well too, John. I remember

499
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: right at the combine and really showed up there, which

500
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 2: was a lot of people who were looking for that

501
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 2: workout and really flat pretty well. But a good, solid player,

502
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: and we'll see what the future holds. Reverse.

503
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: Look, it's the same philosophy that I just discussed. If

504
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 3: you draft him, if you think he's a disruptive force

505
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: and is going to be a five or six year

506
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: front line big time players say five or six hitsies

507
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 3: with the contract lines up, then there's nothing wrong with

508
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: the pick because you're in nickel more than you are

509
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 3: anything else. You're in pass rest situations. You can find

510
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 3: a place to move Trayvon Walker. If you think that

511
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: Josh Allen and a rookie can have impact, you can

512
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 3: move guys around this league and impact the quarterbacks. So

513
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 3: if this is the best player on the board at seventeen,

514
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: there's always a strong argument for if you have best

515
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: pass rusher and best cornerback on the board and they're

516
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: graded equally. I'm a guy who says take the pass

517
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: rusher because that guy can disrupt every play. A cornerback

518
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: affects one only affects it if you throw at him.

519
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem logical because last year you had Travel

520
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: and Josh combined for twenty seven and a half sacks,

521
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: which was the most by a duo in the NFL

522
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: last year.

523
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: You can be great if you're dominant up front exactly.

524
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: So let's turn our attention to the defensive tackles because

525
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: there are a couple in particular Byron Murphy, Johnny Newton

526
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: from Illinois, Chris Jenkins from Michigan, who's a guy I

527
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: know you saw when you were doing some college football

528
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: last year. It's probable that all three of these guys

529
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: are sitting there at seventeen. You don't need it. So

530
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: this might be a spot if this is the best

531
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: player on the board, that you're backing up right, kind

532
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: of like the Jaguars did last year where they back

533
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: out of twenty four and made themselves available all the

534
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: way at twenty seven to grab the guy they really wanted.

535
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so much of this is it's hard for us

536
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: to predict this because we don't know. If Trent Balky

537
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 3: and the brain trust looks at Byron Murphy and said

538
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 3: this is Aaron Donald, then who cares.

539
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't matter if you take it.

540
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: What you have on the roster. So, not knowing their

541
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 3: passions on certain players, and with.

542
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Nielsen in his first year as the defensive coordinator,

543
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to project.

544
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 3: So again it's such a cop out. But if this

545
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 3: guy's great, take him because he's going to disrupt the game.

546
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the route they go because I

547
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 3: think I think cornerback is such a glaring need that

548
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: it makes sense. But there's nothing wrong with him or

549
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: new JP.

550
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 2: No, what's Devon Hamilton's health status? Yeah, I think that

551
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: might have a little.

552
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: Bit serious issues to deal with last year.

553
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 2: Right as he passed those. You know, he was trying

554
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: to get back later in the season last year, but

555
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 2: it was it was so dramatic and such a big

556
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: injury for him. So is he right? And I think

557
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 2: that might tell you a whole lot about what they

558
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: think about this position.

559
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: Moving ahead, Oh, Reclus, they have Armstead can move around

560
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: to us, So there's so many moving parts. It's always

561
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 3: hard these days. Are any the same problem at safety?

562
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 3: Sometimes two in linebacker? We're used to talking about terms

563
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 3: from the nineteen nineties. Everybody's in so many sub packages

564
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 3: now and everybody moves around so much. You know, it's

565
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 3: okay to have guys who can move around on the

566
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 3: front of your defensive line, and they have the versatility

567
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 3: to do that. So sliding one more guy in there

568
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 3: can make an impact might make sense.

569
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: If they do nothing on the defensive line next week

570
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: during the draft, are they still in a great spot

571
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: for next year? Are they in a good spot next

572
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: year or do you think they will have missed an opportunity.

573
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: I think they're in a great spot next year with

574
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: all the guys they have they've they've signed. They've got

575
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, They've got Treyvon Walker who can move around.

576
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: They've got Roy Robertson Harris, They've got Devon Hamilton if

577
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: he's fully healthy. They've got all these pieces that they've

578
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: had in free agency, in the draft collectively together in

579
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: the front four, front five, whatever combination you want to

580
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: use of that. I think they're in a great spot,

581
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: at least for next year. Now, two three years down

582
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: the line, there's always questions, but for next season, this

583
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: should be one of the top defensive lines in the AFC.

584
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: I think they're in a great spot. You remember when

585
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: you used to have like good Christmases, didn't quite get

586
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: the present you wanted. Jared Verse, a guy like that,

587
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: add one more pass rusher to a really good group

588
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 3: could be like when your dad left the bike outside.

589
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: What's in the corner in the corner.

590
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I could see fans out there right now

591
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: going though, I really want one more pass rusher. I

592
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 3: can see Trent Balky not saying it to me, but boy,

593
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 3: I really would love to have that impact. So very

594
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: very good there one more guy can make them dominant

595
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: if it's an impact rookie.

596
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: Which is why we had the conversation, even though it

597
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: doesn't seem likely for the Jaguars to address the defensive line,

598
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: at least not in the first round. All right, we'll

599
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: come back and wrap up this edition of jags Am

600
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: from the Hundai Studios inside the middle of Electric Center.

601
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 1: A good this, all right, back to wrap it up

602
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: here on a Tuesday jags a m from the Hyundai Studios.

603
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 1: I mentioned the nineteen year old who wanted to talk

604
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: receiver yesterday. He also wanted to talk about the promo

605
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: for the new uniforms, well, the old uniforms, the throwbacks

606
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: that appear to be returning this year, as I hide

607
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: you guys out hype.

608
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cool, right, I mean, they're cool. The throwback

609
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: is fun, and we'll see what the full thing looks like.

610
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: I mean, we only saw the logo, the full cat logo.

611
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: That was called when it first came out. I remember

612
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: the press conference it was called the Prowler, the pro

613
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: the Prowler, right, and they put it on the sleeves.

614
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: Now I've seen the mock ups. I think there's one

615
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: with Trevor A photos deal of Trevor wearing it. It's cool, Okay,

616
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: it'd be fun.

617
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: Look, it's not something that I'm overly passionate about. Yeah,

618
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 3: but fans are fired up for Yeah, they are so

619
