Jacksonville Jaguars 2024 Draft Grade | PFF

[@zs05jag]

Jax is literally the perfect spot for BTJ

[@DoctorDiddler]

If only we had Chris ballard as a GM. We could draft upside guys who never develop but at least people would talk about how genius our drafting is.

[@Gmurkz]

Or Howie Roseman 😂

[@albertpierce9891]

If they're not even gonna bother researching the teams then why even cover them? Kirk and Engram are over the middle receivers. One of the issues for the Jags last year was not having a deep threat that could get separation. Ridley was terrible in YAC and once teams figured out he struggled when being jammed he couldn't beat his guy. Lawrence was also really good throwing deep last year and ranked in the top 7 in those categories. If you're going to be an outlet devoted to stats, maybe actually look at them.

[@fatjonseatingadventures5429]

It’s like watching 2 idiots talk about crypto… they have 0 idea what they’re talking about

[@smyers9052]

This was confusing particularly because they made the opposite argument about Kirk when they brought Davis in after missing out on Ridley.

[@904TallerTim]

Thats wild to start the draft analysis harping on the 7th round draft pick.

[@smyers9052]

Have to say, when the Jags lost out on Ridley in FA and brought in Davis, this show made the case that while Davis wasn’t as good as Ridley, he might be a better fit for the offense. The argument was that Ridley and Kirk are both intermediate receivers who run great routes, and that this was overly duplicative; Davis, the reasoning went, was a better fit because he brought a different angle to the offense. So how did we go from that to arguing that the Jags are entirely reliant on vertical receivers, Kirk included. And of course, totally glossing over the presence of Engram, who is basically a big slot who mostly works underneath.

[@nohandoutz3]

Dude just said CK is a vertical slot and don’t know who is the underneath guy. Do yall actually watch the games

[@Demps_904]

Dude also said Zay “wasn’t a vertical deep threat” amazes me how these guys use metrics and not know what the hell they’re talking about 😂😂😂😂

[@armanmughal8420]

We live in the age where statisticians have become the authority on football. Meanwhile a guy like Steve Smith who is a future HOF loves BTJ and his fit with the jags.

[@nohandoutz3]

Yea , but these are also guys who didn’t play lol 😂

[@GoingInSaiyan]

@@armanmughal8420 Even more than Agent 89 ; Chris Simms also has him rated the 2nd overall WR in the draft. Former WR, Former QB, or do we listen to the spread sheet guys ?

[@vjluarasi1847]

BTJ would be better on the colts then the jags? Come on man get outta here the Jags offense is way better then the colts offense stop it.

[@waylonbeasley1477]

Christian Kirk and Evan Engram are both underneath high volume receivers so actually adding two deep threats to a team that didn’t have any last year to where the entire defense can just sit on routes is a Welcome change.

[@wesryan930]

BTJ is gonna stud idk how he doesnt work out for jags

[@123shoshan]

He runs one route

[@Takeoff_first_duval]

He does more than one route

[@GoingInSaiyan]

@@123shoshan Better than Ridley always running the wrong route. BTJ can actually get open on top of that.

[@orangebluered25]

This man said Ridley was jags best route runner!😅😅 You are cut off. Mam didn't know where he was 1/2 the time.

[@904TallerTim]

Ridley definitely had the best route running ability but didn't know what the hell route to run.

[@mdh1880]

Kirk is literally a great route runner and can get underneath or cross the middle open. Davis and BTJ will stretch the vertical game. How can you also discount Even Engram? Worried about short yardage and you have a 100 catch TE with Kirk underneath and across the middle? On top of Etienne in and out of the backfield. The offense has balance. Last few years it was mainly horizontal. Ridley and T Law were never on the same page whether it be the wrong route ran or dropped passes from him.

[@GoingInSaiyan]

They don't actually watch games or tape, they just read numbers off a spread sheet and it shows in the most hilarious, but at the same time, infuriating way.

[@mdh1880]

@@GoingInSaiyanyou summed it up. Funny, yet infuriating because you can tell who doesn’t watch the tape

[@smyers9052]

Also, while Maason Smith has 4th round tape in my mind, his high end play was enough to earn him a respectable 76+ pass rushing grade in 2023, despite coming off the injury. That’s a good mark for an SEC tackle. So “he graded out at 65” might not be the best way to think about his potential. Clearly he was drafted not just for generalized “upside” but because he’s a talented kid, coming off major injury, who had the best season of his career and showed some legit juice as a pass rushing player. I just feel like this could have been a more complete and nuanced analysis, even if the conclusion -that Smith was overdrafted - is probably true.

[@GoingInSaiyan]

Smith was absolutely overdrafted, but that loses any credibility when these guys try an make an argument against arguably the 2nd best wideout in the draft going to Jacksonville. If the Bills would've grabbed BTJ it would've been the smartest move in their franchises draft history ( besides Josh Allen ). It's typical media witch hunt nonsense that is always aimed at the Jaguars each, and every off-season.

[@trxllestalive9964]

how are you pff and just have no idea what you are talking about

[@Vo1kfang]

It was not a homerun, Eagles-style draft. But if its not Baalke and the Jags making these picks your analysis would be completely different. Fairly or unfairly, you give no benefit of the doubt to this team.

[@HDBabey]

I am confused because kirk was our slot guy.. he ate up short routes and between him and engram with checkdowns to etn, I feel like they got the undernearth and short field stuff covered.... they had NO vertical game last year.....

[@ienchapman-lw6ym]

Guys Gabe with be a big body position receiver, while the rookie will take the top off the field, while the Gabe with run the intermediate stuff big body

[@yodabbadabba3770]

For once I’m proud of my fellow Jaguar fans in the comment sections 👏 👏

[@jasonblack2553]

BTJ better fit in Indy? How? Please please please elaborate

[@humanscarecrow]

“Travon Walker Lite” 😂😂😂😂😂 “that’s Myles Cole”

[@GoingInSaiyan]

BTJ is a boom or bust ? Listen, I get being skeptical after Justin Blackmon right? but, BTJ had the most receptions, a QUARTER of his total receptions went for 6. His YAC and deep threat is /insane/. Did you seriously say you don't love the BTJ pick because of the offense that is already in place? The offense that collapsed went tlaw and kirk got hurt ? Absolutely ridiculous. For this first time in his professional career Trevor Lawerence finally has a true wr1 deep threat WR which is what he had in Higgins at clemson. Jarrion Jones in the third is a boom or bust? Dude ran a 4.38 40 and hasn't allowed a TD since, '22. Mason Smith is the only player which a question mark above his head. The rest of the picks were insane even more so where we got them. Take the Tackle out of Mizzou who won an SEC player award of the year. Typical media witch hunt against the jaguars.

[@TheSkyhighmusic]

He would be better with the colts? BTJ? This guy is a joke

[@TheRmm1976]

Worst case he's another Gabe Davis or a Valdez Scantling. But he could be much better. With Kirk, Thomas Jr, Davis and Engram it's a pretty good receiving corp. Not to mention Etienne out of the backfield.

[@jonkebler7372]

He is if you look the best wr blocker in draft, of course you have to value off ball plays. And blocking.

[@joshgrenninger8595]

Ridley was our best route runner? Guy was running wrong routes all season

[@Zurcjax]

BTJ, Not a good fit?? The head coach who loves calling the slot fade, the QB who loves throwing them, and the WR who’s really good at running it. Seems like a good fit to me…

[@tylerhadden8837]

As a Jags fan, the only move in the draft i liked was the trade back. Hated the BTJ pick, and every other pick were reaches. Baalke needs to be fired 3 years ago when they booted Urban

[@jeffreygrissom821]

These to guys overthinking this Jags had a solid draft

[@philliplaugh3939]

That’s crazy talking about the Chaison Henderson draft because that was the marone Caldwell era why even bring it up

[@fatjonseatingadventures5429]

When you said Ridley was an excellent route runner you lost all credibility. You clearly didn’t watch him last year out side highlights

[@marianeescobar3899]

Dude, The Jaguars needed a deep threat, btj is the best deep threat in the draft

[@edwardkelly3280]

IMO I rather get Worthy for vertical threat

[@C4S911]

How does the bald dude have a job with that type of analysis on BTJ

[@alexfromproduce1521]

Well he’s a vertical threat but he is not a just that

[@philliplaugh3939]

Saying Kirk is just a deep guy shows you don’t know ball

[@mikesimmons858]

So three WRs stretching the field...one of them is an underneath WR too guess they didn't check their own analytics on that one..Engram underneath and he's vertical. You'd think you'd notice the space that should be created for Etienne.

[@albertpierce9891]

Kirk is also great underneath. He also is good at YAC.

[@MrIcognegro]

This is what TB does…..sigh 😭

[@duanezaleski5714]

I truly HATE everything they just said!! Only because it is SOOOO Damn correct!!!! Urrrrrggggg!!!!
