GM Franchise -- Jacksonville Jaguars 2017 and beyond...

[jose21crisis]

Notable Players Released or Not Resigned:
• RT Jermey Parnell
• P Brad Nortman
• HB Corey Grant

Why don't resign .... Ok, is just the punter, moving on.

2019 Draft Class:
• 1.32: WR Jacob Justice (76) 6’4” 199lbs. Washington
• 2.32: HB DeShaun Taylor (85) 5’10” 215lbs. Florida A&M
• 3.32: SS Steve Mayes (81) 6’0” 218lbs. UCLA
• 4.32: RT DeJuan Lopez (76) 6”7” 316lbs. Boston College
• 5.32: TE Floyd Crawford (73) 6’4” 254lbs. Oregon
• 6.32: LT Ed Tanner (71) 6’6” 312lbs. E. Carolina
• 7.32: MLB Duane Smith (66) 6’3” 248lbs. Ohio State [cut]

Nice pickups. Maybe that 76 OVR wasn't worth the first round pick (what's up with him? Too slow or not good enough hands?), but the rest of the class is pretty damn solid.

Major NFL Retirements:
• QB Eli Manning
• HB Adrian Peterson
• HB Jamaal Charles
• MLB Derrick Johnson

So no more Eli? And no more AP? Are Tom and Ben still on the game?

Nice to see someone else that doesn't pick a winner in the first round. Looks like you made up for it in rounds 2 & 3 though.

It's really hard to get a great WR in the first round (Unless you are the Steelers, then you can pick up Hall of Famers all over the damn draft (Let's ignore Limas Sweed in that conversation though)). However, that DeShaun Taylor guy looks like he will be the next Adrian Peterson (just as the real AP retired. Of course, if he is a power back with speed.) and that Steve Mayes guy like a Hitman at Strong Safety (Any example here works, Brian Dawkins, Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed).

What made me jump at the WR in the first round was his 40 time (best of all the WRs), his cone and shuttle times and then his height (6'4"). His most impressive attributes are: 93 SPD, 91 ACC, 87 AGI, 81 CTH and 86 JMP. The attributes that are likely keeping his OVR down are: 64 CAR and 58 AWR. His AWR number should jump if he gets playing time (and he will). So, I think a couple seasons down the line and he could be an upper 80s OVR guy. I'm hoping he can become the #2WR opposite ARob since I am not that fond of Marqise Lee (too many drops) and Allen Hurns (doesn't seem to get open).

The HB in round 2 also has serious speed (93) and acceleration (92) with 94 agility. So he will be a nice change of pace from Fournette and a guy that is much more of a home run threat as opposed to TJ Yeldon. I’ll likely use him as a KR and PR too So, in rounds 1 and 2 the offense got a lot faster with two new weapons.

And I really like the SS drafted in the third round. He will be a nice replacement for Barry Church a few seasons down the line.

Yes, Tom and Ben are still around. They get released from the old folks home each Sunday for three hours so they can go play.

If you don't like Lee then it sounds as if a trade is in order. That's how I got rid of some of my complainers in my SF franchise.

[jose21crisis]

I see Lee out for some 3rd/4th round picks/another WR.

So Cousins is actually going to holdout, alright. Just because he won a SB doesn't mean he is a great franchise QB. Unless Free Agency has something great, you might have to roll with him. BTW, which QBs Free Agency has to offer? I wonder who is in FA right now?

A little late to the party, but, Congratulations on winning SB LIII. I have a question. where did you get that turf texture? is it loaded using Texmod or.....................

The FA pool of QBs was horrible. Cousins is holding all the cards at this point.
