UNBELIEVABLE: Jacksonville Jaguars head coach request for termination of contract as he bitterly explained
Free agency left the Jaguars with a hole at wide receiver after Calvin Ridley cashed in with the Tennessee Titans. Gabe Davis shouldn’t be expected to fill Ridley’s shoes single-handily, even assuming a bounceback from Zay Jones. He had 321 yards in 9 games last year; Davis racked up 335 yards in Weeks 5, 8, and 12 compared to 411 yards across his other 14 games.
That said, neither of us believes Jacksonville should select a receiver 17th overall. If you move that pick in a package for someone like Rome Odunze, Brandon Aiyuk, or Tee Higgins, sure. Now we’re talking. But unless a top-three prospect or top-flight veteran is realistically available, John and I think the middle of the first round is a bit rich for the second tier of wideouts.
