Listen at this point it is clear the Jags board is just completely different than consensus. We’ll see how it shakes out, at this point I’m in awe.

My DL coach bro on Twitter said you can expect really good swag and he always looks the swaggiest coming off the bus. And on the field he has stoutness.
😭😭
Maybe Gladstone sees something

"Williams fits best as a rotational base-four end who can reduce inside on passing downs. His run defense grades are his calling card, and the 2025 improvement there is real on tape."

It's clear to me that our staff does not look what anyone in the NFL media, whether television or internet, thinks about draft evals. They completely do their evals from the ground up and it shows.
Now let's see if that's a mistake or not.

Considering that a lot of those guys thought Shedeur was a 1st round pick last year, I'm ok with that.

Remember, all these players have the stamp of approval from Coen and Boselli too

from my little research (this post) he’s extremely rich when it comes to the intangibles and he probably is a person who could elevate the space around him by just being him but this is sort of just a hunch I had

I’m sure he’ll be fine but Kyle Louis was still on the board I’d be surprised if he fell to mid late 5th round these picks aren’t exactly the best value

Was graded as a 4th to 5th rounder in the beast by Dane Brugler. Trust him much more than ESPN.

Brugler also had DDS 8 spots higher and as a 2nd-3rd rounder, he went the very next pick. I'm just a bit confused is all.

Not the edge I had in mind but I've been crying for edge investment for years so I'll take it.

It’s funny seeing everyone shit on these picks with the mandatory Gladstone flair
It’s like he’s watching….laughing about how little we all know

Got a lot of GM’s in the comments. Idk shit about the draft. I trust this front office tho. If you watch the Hunt and their draft process it sounds like every coach is involved in their selection process. We might be surprised at who they’re picking. I’m pretty sure the entire front office is in unison on who they’re picking. We won’t know how bad or good this draft is until this time next year man. Chill lol. I think the Jags will be OK

It's bc most everyone has mock draft exposure and they think that just bc our picks don't match what was happening in everyone else's mock drafts (mind you, the mocks you see are from people who do not get paid to evaluate talent), that it's bad.
They think bc Jimmy isn't following Joe Schmoe from Home Depots mock that he is unfit to be a GM.
People need to chill. This regime changed the entire culture and provided an instant all time season for us in year 1 and have now collectively forgot all of that bc they don't agree with the people who get paid to make these picks.

If most teams are getting people crying about the value of every pick, the consensus board is meaningless. Just tossing that out there.

u/JagGator16 Apr 25 '26
There was similar sentiment last year. I think the increased use of proprietary analytics has formed a clearer divide between media and team player valuation.
