Doc Brown

After much deliberation the Jaguars are willing to deal Zay Jones for this pick.

Because eventually when wealthy people leave for red states the poor and middle class in blue states are left holding the bag.

I’m just confused because it’s a former Republican group. They doubled the standard deductible so of course that helps. I’d like to see the SALT deductions reinstated as they had to cut those to get the bill through due to reconciliation.

Aren't the founders of this group former Republicans? Is there anything in the tax plan that will raise taxes on the middle class that I don't know about this or next year?

Especially these two as AJ Brown dealt through some injuries last year and Deebo being used as a RB as much as he has won't have a long NFL shelf life. I don't blame them. I think both get extended this off-season but it's going to take a while.

We don’t know that for sure and there’s no point in risking it over griping about less than .5% of the NYS budget.

Won't be near a computer until the afternoon so I'll just put this in now to get it started.... With the 1st selection, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Aiden Hutchinson, DE, Michigan. No need to overthink this despite Walker’s growing hype. At a time when the AFC conference is loaded with talented young quarterbacks getting organic pressure from the front four is essential. Hutchinson lined up opposite Allen has the potential to become one of the best pass rushing duos in the NFL. The Lions @frostbitmic are on the clock.

Jaguars are willing (really begging) to listen to any trade offers for the first pick.

Colbert shouldn't be top five. Belichick shouldn't be in the top 10. It's not a lifetime achievement award. I'd go McDermott, Veach, Licht, Snead, and Tobin in that order.

Without Brady, Bill Belichick is 0-4 against the Bills when his quarterback throws more than three times.

Get your money when you can. He has ALL the leverage. You’re one freak injury away from living in a van down by the river the rest of your life.

As long as a feather doesn’t hit him in training camp it might work out.

It is. They certainly could start a rookie given they have an experienced safety tandem and nickle corner to help along the way. God help us if Cam Lewis or Siran Neal fills in until T. White gets back.

I don't know how much influence Beane or McDermott had in that draft as Gettleman had final say. Gettleman's stubbornness with Norman put them in that position. Three of their top four picks were CB's though after Norman left. They were 29th in pass defense that year so I'd like to think they learned their lesson on rolling the dice with rookies. Bradberry and Worley were exactly what you'd expect out of starting rookies. Inconsistent. My guess is they bring in a veteran and draft a rookie to compete for a spot opposite Dane Jackson if T. White isn't ready to go this September.

Explain Sam Darnold then.

She could’ve used Portland, San Antonio, Omaha, Salt Oklahoma City, etc…. All realistic possibilities.

Depends how much the salary cap jumps.

It's entirely possible they want to see him play behind what should be the best line's he's seen thus far in his career this season. Even if it means squandering a chance to trade him this off-season. They see themselves as a Super Bowl team and I doubt they take the chance of relying on a rookie at such an important position on their defense.

I agree with this. I think it's more likely than not they extend him before this season as I do agree that having a player play on a 5th year option means they're not sold on that player. They resigned T. White and Allen before their 5th year option kicked in. They didn't pick up Lawson's. If they don't re-sign him before next off-season than they may play the see what you can find elsewhere and let us match it card. I just think the extension is more likely than not based off everything I've heard from McDermott and Beane thus far.

Beane's made plenty of mistakes. I'm not arguing that. Trading up for Cody Ford being his biggest thus far and they had no problem relegating him to a backup role last season. A competent GM (which I think Beane is) should be well aware of not letting his own personal ego/biases impact his personnel decisions. If it wasn't for the unforeseen opt out season Star was able to take advantage of I don't think he's on the team last season given his contract. Hell, they cut him this year and ate up all that dead cap. Epenesa is on the team because he's on a cheap rookie deal and it takes some players longer to develop. Ask Beane if he regrets trading Wyatt Teller right before his second season. The point is based off his comments made after this season his track record points to him re-signing Edmunds.

I've yet to see him go to bat for a player and then trade him (or not re-sign him). If he does with Edmunds then that's something new I'll learn about Beane. Right now I'm just going off his track record.
