A Jaguars Fan Makes Some Art
The worst part about all this is that despite knowing that the Jaguars are going to 100% pick Trevor Lawrence since roughly week 16, when the actual draft hits, we are still going to be forced to wait 10 pointless minutes for the Jaguars to actually put the pick in. The NFL can’t help but drag it out. You could make the weak argument that they have to at least sit there and field any potential calls that might come in for desperate last second trades…but do you really believe that’ll happen in this scenario? The Jags are picking Trevor Lawrence. I know it. You know it. Trevor Lawrence knows it. 31 picks could go any number of directions, but that one has been certain for months. Any sports personality that argues they might pick someone else is baiting you. Punch them.
I can only remember a select few moments when the #1 pick wasn’t completely expected months in advance. Plenty of drafts have featured one player getting a massively late push and lots of teasing that a different player might go first overall, but it is pretty rare to see actually happen. RG3 wasn’t picked over Luck, no matter how much hype he got towards the end there. The only semi-surprises I can remember are Eric Fisher over Luke Joeckel (That proved to be the right choice for KC) and Baker Mayfield over Sam Darnold. Both cases still weren’t completely out of the blue as both Baker and Fisher were rumored as the potential #1 pick for a day or two in advance. The only true shock I can remember is Mario Williams over Reggie Bush.
Anyway, happy for the Jags fans to get football Thor. Just let them sign him now and get it over with.
Dave, you underestimate the power of Urban Meyer to be stupid. He could take Justin Fields. It’s not likely, but it’s possible. Also, Trevor is probably J’ville’s last chance before they move to London
Urban Meyer did not take the Jags job to take Justin Fields. Also it’s basically impossible for the Jags to leave Jacksonville before 2030 so they still have three more swings
London will never have its own team. Logistically it’s too difficult.
While Urban Meyer may do something stupid, he was NOT at OSU when Fields was there. He may have tried to recruit Fields out of high school, but Fields started his collegiate career at UGA. Urban “one step ahead of the posse” Meyer was gone from OSU before Fields transferred.
Shut up.
“… happy for the Jags fans to get football Thor.”
Woah there motherfu– Dave, New England already has Football Thor on their roster! Though I guess Chase Winovich could play as actual Thor.
It’s almost guaranteed that the Bengals are picking Penei Sewell unless some other team decides they need an OT so bad that they’ll trade Deshaun Watson to the Jets for him.
I hope Miami grabs Sewell. I’d rather get Joe Thomas than OBJ
The best part of Mario Williams over Reggie Bush is that Charlie Casserly already knew he was getting fired, so he picked the underhyped Williams over the talking heads’ darling (Bush) and the hometown favorite (Young), basically as a giant “F you” to Bob McNair. Except he was such a bad GM that when he was intentionally trying to tank the pick, it was the one time he unequivocally picked the best choice.
It’s also emblematic of how bad the McNairs are at managing a football team that Bob told Casserly he was getting fired before the draft, but asked him to stay on and do the draft because they didn’t have time to replace him. Casserly ended up resigning a week later.
Oh to remember the days when Texans fans thought that Charlie Casserly was all that was wrong with the team…
Trevor Lawrence is football Thor? He looks more like if Snape was from California
I had the same reaction initially. But then I remembered that in the comics, Thor is currently Jane Foster, and I think it’s a perfect name now. “Whosoever puts up good ball-throwing statistics, if they look like a teenage girl, shall be granted the name of Thor.”

… but yea, if we’re referring to the muscular bearded Thor variant, then it’s a hilariously mismatched name. Football Loki? Maybe. Football Rachel from Friends? Football Sarah Connor? Football ?
Since when is Thor- oh right comic book movies. Damn it pop culture, go ruin something I don’t care about.
Jaguars fans only want one thing, and it’s disgusting!
The last proper surprise at the top of the draft (besides the Bears trading up for Trubisky, which even then there had been rumours he was their guy) was Tunsil’s bong video. That was proper mayhem
Miami baby !
We still getting a Rivers retirement comic? I have been keeping an eye out!
I always joke that the reason that the 1st overall pick team takes the full time on the clock is that they didn’t actually make a decision and never scouted anyone, so they’re scrambling around trying to figure out who to pick
No one wants to be the 83 Colts or the 86 Bucs. Both teams turned in their pick in less than a minute.
Up until the combine, Nick Bosa was supposed go #1 to Arizona
Impressive use of depth-of-field.
I find it amusing that in the two panels after Lisa gets complemented on her understanding of perspective, the Jags logo on the sweatshirt unnecessarily reverses….
