So... I predicted the Elliott pick wrong. I graded it a D and here I am to eat crow. That said, Elliott was running behind the #2 PFF O-Line in the NFL. The Jags are ranked like #30. The Jags are desperate for ANY boost here and I get it... but IMO building on the defense would've been a FAR better decision, especially after losing Cyprien. There's plenty of RB depth later in this draft so not sure why the Jags felt the need to spend #4. AP already proved an elite RB does nothing for the playoffs... couple it with a defense and a competent QB? Maybe.
