It is damage control on taking him so high in the draft. The Jags have been blasted the last few days for taking a player most considered a 2nd or 3rd round pick at #10 overall. Now the Jags are trying to justify taking him so high by saying he was going to be off the board at #12 to Miami. The Dolphins for a few days leading up to the pick for really shopping the pick hard. They wanted to get back the second round pick they lost in the Marshall trade.
Maybe the Dolphins had interest at Alualu at #28, but I highly doubt they did at #12. I actually think the target at #28 may have been Dan Williams. I am personally glad they opted for Odrick.
IDK, I seen nothing before the draft that Henderson was being shopped or looking to be cut by the team. I just think they got their man, and promptly cut Henderson.
I have seen since the draft the blow back for the pick. But once I seen Henderson cut, I have to believe it was a calculated decision for the guy they wanted.
And yes, I'm glad D. Williams was gone. I'm not sold on any of the draft picks. Rather see them in PS and through the season before giving unfounded expectations and hype.
