Too many people wouldve been crying their hearts about another top pick bust by now. The way Marinelli plays his CBs are to this guys weakness.Ramsey was the right call at the time, no doubt about it. We got lucky with the DBs, sort of, this season, but should never have been in a position where 4 starters walked and we had to replace them all in one draft. That's just bad team management, and would have been worse had Anthony Brown not panned out as a 6th rounder that same year. Can you imagine?
Plus, Zeke plays a position that can readily be filled in rounds 2-4. And he was known to have character questions coming out, which did in fact bite us. I'm not absolving Goodell for that witch hunt, but Elliott had no business being in that situation to begin with.
2016 Jags DL was pretty much what Dallas has right now. Decent passrush but nothing special. And Ramsey was ok but not in Elliots class in terms of Impact for the team. 2017 Jags went out and signed players and ended up with 4 DL that had 8 sacks or more. Thats why Ramsey is what he is now. The DL.
Jalen Ramsey rookie yr
16 starts 65 tackles 2 int 14pdef
Jourdan Lewis rookie yr
7 starts 54 tackles 1int 10pdef
Talking bout you can find a RB to do what Elliot does in round 2-4, which i doubt Elliot changes the game. Dallas found what Ramsey did his rookie yr in the 3rd and did it with 7 starts.
