They're definitely going to hire Greg Roman whenever Baltimore comes to their senses and fires him.

Roman was/is a Harbaugh guy. Not a chance in hell they go anywhere near him.

This.

With that said, it's going to be interesting to watch Jacksonville the next few years. Whoever they pick 2nd and 3rd will be telling. The first pick is a no-brainer.

Meyer's a 1st time coach, having to be in charge of personnel is too much on his plate. I'm sure he'll get the players that he wants, and if Baalke doesn't oblige he's gone. It gives Meyer a year or 2 to get acclimated to the pro game and to learn who the good personnel guys are.

Baalke will go before Meyer (barring health) so I see no downside here.

I don't know, Baalke is pretty good at the internal politics game. And regarding who lasts longest I don't give Urban more than 2 years, maybe max 3. Because you have to factor in health.

He made some nice FA moves. Carlos Rogers was awesome here. Whitner and Bethea were solid as well. Boldin too. Jon Goodwin was a hell of a pickup.
Boreland was a great pick too.

Borland? Third round draft pick who played for one year and retired, keeping three quarters of his signing bonus. This is not my definition of a great pick.

I would tend to agree with Mister Moderator here. The thing I remember most about Baalke picks is that he always seemed to waste one on a player with a wrecked knee. The thinking was, at the time, that this player was "a steal" at this draft position and was "going to be great" after surgery and rehab.

Except, that never happened. I don't recall even one of Baalke's gambles on injured players ever panning out. Am I missing someone? Anyone?

Imo Meyer should get most of the say the next couple years as he will know the college talent better than anyone. After that it's level field.
