NFL Draft

[TheDouglas78]

Jack may never play again. Just awful for that kid. Probably worth spending a 2nd or 3rd rounder just on potential. But if he plays again you'll more than likely have to sit him next year as he recovers from microfracture surgery

At least a year according to the guys duing the NFL Network broadcast, according to one of them he said some scouts removed him from their boards, because they expected he wouldn't see the field until 2018.

The issue with Myles Jack isn't just his injury, it is his position. He's an inside LB who isn't a pass rusher. That's an undervalued position in the NFL. Run-stopping inside linebackers are plentiful--pass rushers are gold.

(I will admit Luke Kuechly is a badass though)

It's also why running backs, guards, centers, TE, and safeties rarely show up in the first round. QBs, LTs, shut-down corners, playmaking receivers, and pass rushers dominate the first round (this year was an exception for interior OL).

Alex.

So Bullard gets to play with a chip on his shoulders ??

 

[GatorJ]

Would love to see the jags bring In Bullard with this pick.

 

[GatorJ]

So they brought in Jack. They need a linebacker who could play today. Could end up being a great pick but there's so much risk.

They just showed Jack at RB...jags will Matt Jones him.

 

[GatorJ]

I hope the Dolphins bring in Ragland.

 

[GatorJ]

[GatorTAG]

So if Jihad means War. Is he War Ward?

What he brings Insider: Arguably one of the most athletic prospects in this class, Jack is a perfect fit for today's NFL. He has sideline-to-sideline range and flashes explosive power. In addition, he is the top coverage linebacker in the class. Jack comes with some durability concerns after a season-ending torn meniscus this past fall, but his medical reports are positive. He is a top-10 prospect in this class who will add playmaking ability to a front seven.

How he fits: Jack is a top-five talent who fell out of the first round due to long-term durability concerns with his knee. However, reports came out today that he would not need microfracture surgery and clearly Jacksonville felt good about his medical. Jack has rare athleticism and explosiveness for his size to make an impact as a run defender, in coverage and as a blitzer. With this pick the Jaguars have instantly upgraded their defense with the two most versatile defenders in this class (they took CB/DS Jalen Ramsey in the first round). -- Kevin Weidl

Titans picked up Derrick Henry. Great pickup.

Plus Fowler possibly actually playing this season, Bradley might save his job after all.

damn... well, maybe Bullard goes in the 3rd.
two taken now (aguayo by the bucs - just one more reason to severely dislike TB)

 

[MertzJay26]

Pissing me off with Bullard. Jags had the perfect opportunity to take him and they go with a bum from Maryland. I'm ticked.

 

[alcoholica]

How do the jags not pickup Bullard?
