It's not so much that they really like Henne as the #1 QB, it's mainly because he knows the system and there isn't anybody else out there. When Henne and an old Mike Vick are the two best FA QB options on the market, that's saying a whole lot for how bad of a QB crop it is in FA this year.

The draft is never a sure thing. There's not even a guarantee they love any of the QBs in this draft, so having QBs on the roster who already know the system is key. Especially if we only end up getting a mid-late round QB prospect, we sure aren't going to have any plans to throw him straight to the wolves on day 1. He'd have to beat out the other QBs, much like Wilson did for you guys and prove it.

Nobody was surprised by Henne resigning, everybody knew they were gonna resign him. Henne said how much he wanted to come back and both Gus and Caldwell said they wanted him back. He's a back up QB and a possible stop gap for another year, depending on how the Draft, training camps etc etc go.

Nothing changes with this Henne resigning. QB is still one of our top needs and Bridgewater should be our pick if he's there at #3.

However, I'm starting to really get nervous that it's going to be either Clowney #1 and somebody will trade up for Teddy at #2, or vice versa. I feel those two are the cream of the crop and that it honestly drops down a little tiny bit after them (part of it is due to our huge needs at QB and DE). If those two go 1 and 2, I gotta admit, I'll definitely be a little bummed out. If they do indeed go 1 and 2, then I hope we can trade down because that's really the only way I see us getting value at #3.

Which other qb do you want the Jags to draft?

Teddy is who I want. After him it's really whatever to me.

I wouldn't mind picking up Aaron Murray or Jimmy Garoppolo in the mid-late rounds. Letting them sit on the bench for at least a year.

For Red Bryant and the #Jaguars, it’s a 4-year deal worth $17 million. Should fit right in to Gus Bradley’s defense

Not a bad price at all. Good signing.

I see. Teddy or nothing in the first round huh?

Great signing with Bryant. Gus knows him well enough and he should do fine.

I'm at the point where it's Teddy, Clowney, or if they're both gone at #3, then I hope we trade down. Besides Teddy and Clowney, I think the only way we get the best value at #3 is trading down for more picks.

I love Barr, but he's so raw that it's going to take him a couple years to fully develop. You don't really take guys that high, who still need to be fully developed.

I like Mack, but #3 is too high for us imo. If we ran a base 3-4 front, I'd be all over him as our Rush OLB (He's an ideal fit for Texans #1 though). But since we run a hybrid 4-3 front, I'm not really sure exactly where we'd play him. Would we use him as just our LEO and have him line up on the line? Would we draft him to be our SAM backer? #3 overall is way too high for a SAM. Would he be the SAM for the majority, but switch to the LEO on obvious Pass Rushing situations?

We're not going to take a RT that high.

Ebron is a reach at #3.

I guess we could go Watkins, but WR isn't a pressing need and with how deep this WR class is we can get somebody much later.

Corner would be a reach at #3 imo.

Actually the more I think about it, I wouldn't have a problem with Watkins at #3 if Teddy, Clowney are gone and we couldn't get a real good offer to trade down. Blackmon, Shorts, Watkins and Ace Sanders would be a pretty damn nice line up.

Jason Babin voided the last 2 years of his contract and is now a FA. He most likely was going to be cut anyways, saving us $6.175 million on our 2014 cap. We now have $59 million.
