He said those picks mean nothing with the current Jags org.

Apparently, some are not happy losing a guy the caliber of Ramsey. Here's what one poster said:

My hunch is it is doubtful the Jaguars will draft an equal or better talent with the picks acquired from the Rams.

Exactly. This is why I think any fan should be looking at this as a Time of morning. You don't trade a winning Lottery ticket for 10k blank tickets for the next draw. The overwhelming odds are you just traded away millions of dollars for worthless pieces of paper. In the Case of Ramsey you're talking about a billion dollar powerball jackpot. Since this teams inception we have had what 170ish draft picks. Have we ever drafted a better defender than Him? One could argue he's one of the most unique defensive backs to ever play the game with his mixture of coverage and striking ability. 10 years @ corner and another 4 or 5 @ free Safety just walked out the door, but that's okay because Todd Wash is going to run some 4d chess version of Cover 3? Deandre Hopkins is laughing @ us. We may very well have surrendered any competitive advantage in this division away for the next half decade, and it was a decision made by an 80 year old man who probably won't be here next year.

& you're also right about the cap situation. You can't have a Nose Tackle on premium money, you can't have a 5 Technique end @ 34 on premium money and for some reason now we have a middle linebacker who never made a pro-bowl who misses run fits that got paid before the best player to ever walk into a defensive meeting room. This might just be one of the worst allocations of resources I've ever seen.

But this guy also makes sense. Its not like they had much of a choice. I do agree with his take that defensive guys no matter how good, can't impact a game like offensive guys:

At the end of the day- that lottery ticket didn’t have our name on it..We bought it and when we went to redeem it, it was in someone else’s name.

He didn’t want to be here. He refused to play. He was a lottery win for sure, but that lottery win didn’t cause a winning season last season. Cornerback is important, but offense is where it’s at in this league. That is where we really need our lotto wins.

This is probably one of those good for both teams trades.

so how much of ramsey sitting out the last three weeks was really due to injury vs forcing the jags hand?

Does anyone know if Ramsey will belaying this week? I’ve read some conflicting reports on it.

The answer is maybe, McVay says that's what they're shooting for...

I suspect that had we made the trade a week ago he would have been ready to play the 40whiners.

The Jags guy was actually serious when he said time of morning?

God, I love America.

...about that school system y’all got down there....
