MUNTRADAMUS BOOT CAMP DAY 20A BORTLES BABIES' (JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS) By Muntradamus The Jaguars. A team that looked great in 2015, and even better on paper in 2016, turned out to be terrible. The team could not block, they could not close out games, nor could they comeback. Bortles was throwing balls in the ground, Allen Robinson was dropping passes. Is there hope in 2017? DEFENSE B Adding Calais Campbell was HUGE! Throw him on a D-Line with Dante Fowler and Malik Jackson, there is reason to hope the Jags D-Line can hold their own and make big plays. Paul and his Poss-zny is stacked at Linebacker. Telvin Smith and Myles Jack make for two young superstars. This LB core is amazing on paper. The Secondary lost Cyprien who was a staple of that defense for the past few years. In comes Barry Church who is arugably one of the best Safties in the game today and the Cowboys will miss him dearly. Tashaun Gipson plays Center field like no Safety does. Jalen Ramsey was great as a rookie and will only get better in year 2, plus the signing of the Texans Playmaker corner in A.J. Bouye. The Jags Defense looks good on paper once again, but going with the same DC in Todd Wash is a questionable move. Did not seem like his system worked well enough. OFFENSE B The Jags lost a lot in Free Agency with their O-Line. They are trying to rebuild it with reserves/draft picks/and Brandon Albert. Something to watch closely during the preseason, because last year it was awful. The O-Line was not blocking for Ivory or Yeldon, both were hit instantly. This year both of their stocks are down in Waiver Wire category. The Jagaurs grabbed Leonard Fournette (RB1/2) and he looks like he could be a Hall of Famer before he has even taken a carry. Jags should move Yeldon or Ivory, some team will take them for a Draft Pick. Blake Bortles (QB 2) will probably be working on his mechanics all off season. He looked great in the preseason last year, just choked when it was Any Given Sunday. If he does look good, he can be an easy Top 10. However he is not worth the risk of someone to count on. Allen Robinson (WR1/2) has very high upside and is possibly the steal of the draft. If Bortles gets it going, which is completely possible. Allen Robinson plays like an every week Top 10 WR. Allen Hurns (WR3/4) returns to be the #2 and no Julius Thomas suggests that Hurns could be in for a big season and play like a WR 2 more often than not. A lot of this depends on Bortles looking nice during the preseason. Marqise Lee (WR5) and Marcedes Lewis (TE2) round out the rest of the Jags offense. IF MUNTRADAMUS WAS COACH Run my new toy in Leonard. He looks like he is Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch combined into one. Bortles does not have to win games by himself, and that should relieve the pressure. EARLY DRAFT STRATEGY Monitor Leonard. Monitor Bortles passing during the preseason, which could end up being BUY on Allen Robinson and Hurns.
