Jacas

Annoyed Jacas not at OTAs. Why?
 
His agent works for him.

Lomu is on the field.

Bad prognostic sign, IMO. He should he out there. Everyone else who 8s new is.

Treveyon didn't sign until June 18th.
 
I know. But (1) he had a slow start, and (2) there was a big dispute over guaranteed money last year, affecting most early 2nd round picks.

No such dispute this year, almost everyone on either side of Jacas signed. And almost every pick on either side of Jacas has signed.

Lomu has not signed, but he is a full participant.

I'm high on Jacas, but it is not in his best interest tp miss OTAs.

It's not ideal, I just don't think it's on Jacas. Everything said about him is that he loves football and training so there's something else going on.
 
Agreed. That worries me.

I agree that Jacas should be at OTAs. Didn't there used to be a rule about College Seniors having to have graduated before they could participate? Did the NFL eliminate that rule?
 
As of today, who would you rather have?

1. Gabe Jacas at 55

2. Keyron Crawford/Dani Dennis-Sutton at 63, Kyle Louis at 131, and VJ Payne/Jordan Van den Berg/Micah Morris at 202

I really hope Jacas turns out to be a stud, because that's a fair amount of quality and depth to pass up.

Gabe Jacas. Because that's who we picked and I'm ready to support him.
 
I want Jacas to succeed spectacularly. But we gave up a lot.

Jacas is better than Crawford and DDS. Once we decided not to go EDGE in the first, the trade up in the 2nd was pretty predictable.

Agreed.

Two differences, for me:

1. We gave up 3 picks for Jacas (63, 131, 202) vs. 2 for Lomu. With the depth in the 2026 draft, we could have gotten 3 good players.

2. There were no good OT options after Lomu. There were other good EDGE options after Jacas.

Obviously, the Pats rated Jacas very highly. But as of today he us unsigned, rumored to be still injured, and a non-participant in activities to date, putting him behind the curve.

yup.

As of today, Jacas isn't worth a 2026 63, 131 and 202. Who would you ahve picked in those spots so that we can compare in a couple of years?

He hasn't played a snap. Why are people on this board so quick to write draftees off before they've even been on the field?

Nothing better to do with their thoughts this time of year.
