Drafts I loved:
Chicago, Minny, Cincy, Baltimore, Tenn, Cleveland, Miami, Washington, and Jax (Tampa would be on here if not for trading up for a kicker).
Drafts I hated:
Denver, NYJ, Dallas, Carolina, Atlanta, Detroit, Philly.

I watched Campbell for three years up here in Minnesota. He scores an A+ on the eyeball test. Wore #26 and he looked like a huge safety out there a lot of the time. Extremely athletic. The guy just glides on the football field. The problem for him is that he glided in the wrong direction too often. One of the downsides to having great speed is that if you don't read the play right, you run yourself right out of it and that was one of Campbell's problems. I'm a Packer fan and Campbell reminds me of Nick Barnett in both the good and bad senses of his game. If he keeps the play in front of him, Campbell can run down most anyone. I realize that's true for everyone, but Campbell would get himself snarled in traffic a lot and that completely neutralized his game. Curious to see what the Falcons have planned for him. He may not be strong enough to be a consistent edge rusher and his coverage skills need to be bumped up a bit. But he's a great kid who earned his degree in business and was working on his human resources certificate program after he got his diploma and was academic all-conference. Hope he does well.

I listened to nerdist podcast with the Jaguars owners son, who is big into analytics. I think its fascinating to see them rebuild that team heavily based on statistical analysis. (Browns doing it more now; Ravens are heavy into it) Jags identified deep passing as a under utilized aspect of offense and apparently decided to throw deep more often.
This team could take the biggest step up next year. Essentially added:
Malik Jackson
Dante Fowler
Myles Jack
Jalen Ramsey
Chris Ivory
With the continued development of Bortles and a better running game to go with Robinson/Hurns/Julius Thomas and a better pass rush (Fowler/Jackson); I wonder how close to .5000 they can get to this year.

I think you are mistaken. Jack should be ready day 1 as his Meniscus tear is fine (which is relatively minor injury). He slide bc he admitted to teams that the knee could have some degenerative issues in the future and at some point he could require microfracture surgery. This was an admission on his own and the medicals on him had checked out. Jack will play day 1, it's down the road that is the concern. ANd he's a helluva LB; a certain top 5 talent in the draft.

Ramsey with a knee injury as well. Jags seems snake bit.
