This has been a hotly debated topic in here.

“Taking a RB in the top 20 is one of the worst decisions a team can make.”

Top 20 is a stretch cause at that point it's playoff teams drafting for need.

But taking a RB in the top 10 when you have many holes to fill? Bad pick.

Agreed... best bet is trade down the high priced asset, squire picks to fill many needs. Build inside out, OLine/TE + Dline... LBs + Safetis... Then RB + WRs... QB + Corners.

One less spot for Cousins

I'm happy Bortles will be retained. Cousins is going to rob a team blind.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Wouldn't be surprised if the Jags slip next year. Last year is probably the best you can get outta Bortles.

 

[JustBlaze.]

Jacksonville really paid Bortles. Incredible.

Read this if you wonder why the Jags paid Bortles.

[Hahahaha]

Bortles deal isn’t too bad for Jax. Around 26 guaranteed. I wouldn’t want him but with the QB market. I don’t hate it for the Jags.

 

[change the name Snyder]

So Lamar Jax is def not headed to Duval?

**** it

those playoff games against PIT and NE did it



in the grand scheme of things, not terrible though. not like there's a lot of options out there. cousins is gonna get PAID and thats not necessarily the best bet for JAX. maybe draft a guy and let him sit a bit (to learn the NFL game, not from Blake )

 

[100027]

The worst thing about the signing isn’t the money... it’s the commitment. As a Jags fan it sets a clear ceiling for your contention. Would not be happy.

I don't hate the Bortles extension as long as Jax drafts a QB in the 1st or 2nd round.

If your not a Eagles or Pats fan, don’t comment on Bortles. Legit everyone that commented on the deal team didn’t even make it to the playoffs

[jkballer5]

If anything, this deal sets up JAX to draft a QB this year. Keeps the heat on Bortles and if sucks, yank him for the new guy and you don’t have to pay him too much still.

Cousins would’ve robbed the bank and made it hard to resign guys like Fournette, Ramsey and the rest of the D when their contracts are up.

 

[jville819]

I ain't that mad at the deal. Like others have said at least it doesn't handcuff us to make other signings and/or re-signings like breaking the bank for Kirk would. It'll be interesting to see how, if any, ARob's comeback affects the team play. I'm intrigued to see how the Jags play the draft now, especially with that late pick and if they make a move on Lamar. Like DSA said

[kdslittlebro]

Rather pay Blake his contract than Kirk his
