The rookie receiver Connor McGovern Jersey , a second-round draft pick from LSU, coughed up the football after his lone reception in Week 2 and had a huge drop in a home loss to Tennessee last week.It’s far from the start Chark expected, especially after showing so much promise and potential in the preseason.“When you hit the NFL doing so well, you expect it to just keep carrying on and you can lose sight that it’s still the NFL,” Chark said Wednesday. “I think that’s what really happened for me. It was coming easy to me, the feeling of the game, and then, boom, the regular season starts and everything changes a little bit.”Chark hopes to get another chance to prove his worth when the Jaguars (2-1) host the New York Jets (1-2) on Sunday.More Jacksonville Jaguars newsJaguars expect DE Yannick Ngakoue’s holdout to be short-livedJaguars rookie safety Zedrick Woods submits retirement paperworkJalen Ramsey says Jaguars don’t plan to give him contract extension this seasonJaguars sign former UCF running back Taj McGowan for added depthJaguars QB Nick Foles to miss OTAs for undisclosed ‘personal reason’Coach Doug Marrone said the plan is to “go right back to him” against the Jets, believing the best way to help Chark get over his mistakes is to put him in position to make positive plays.“It has always been my philosophy (that) if someone dropped a football, we were trying to go to him the next play,” Marrone said. “Really trying to do that, and then during the week asking that player to do all the extra to make sure that in his mind he is doing the proper work to get himself over it. I think it is a combination of those two things.”The Jaguars drafted the 6-foot-4 Chark with the hope that he would develop into a big-time playmaker alongside Marqise Lee Foster Moreau Jersey , Keelan Cole and Dede Westbrook. With Lee out for the season, Chark went from a guy expected to sit back and learn to someone thrust into a reserve role — and on the field in key situations.He’s failed to make much of an impact so far, aside from recovering Westbrook’s fumble in the first series against New England. The Jaguars scored five plays later.He’s done little since. His fumble at the end of a 13-yard reception in the third quarter against the Patriots proved to be meaningless in the 31-20 victory. But it briefly gave New England a glimmer of hope in a 24-3 game. Tom Brady hooked up with Chris Hogan for a touchdown on the ensuing drive to make it 24-10, but the Jaguars later answered to seal the win.Chark wasn’t as fortunate against the Titans.He dropped a perfectly thrown pass on a second-and-10 play in the second quarter. Instead of a first down in the red zone, the Jaguars ended up kicking a field goal and tying the game at 3.Chark was clearly disappointed, sitting at his locker after the game with his head down.“The learning curve is over with at this point,” Chark said. “It’s time to play. You can get down on yourself, which at times I did. But at the end of the day, I just had to take some time to reflect.“I know the type of player that I am. The game isn’t hard. I just can’t overthink it. I have to do what I do best, make plays, feel comfortable and when I get out there on game day and do what I do in practice.”Chark caught 66 passes for 1,351 yards and six touchdowns in three seasons at LSU. He was the co-MVP at the Senior Bowl and a receiver the Jaguars fell in love with because of his size and speed.He stood out during organized team activities and in training camp, occasionally beating a talented secondary for touchdowns.The Jaguars are confident that will happen in games Anthony Nelson Jersey , maybe even this week.“I know he’s upset and that speaks to his character and the kind of guy and football player that he is and how good he wants to be and how good he can be,” quarterback Blake Bortles said. “I’ve got all the confidence in the world in him and I’m not going to shy away from throwing him the ball because he dropped one.” The 2019 NFL draft is over and of course people are quick to judge how teams did.Normally, you really need three or five years to grade a class (like we did here and here).But who is kidding who �? we all want to know what others think of the selections made by our favorite team <em>now</em>. And there are plenty people doing just this.Vikings NFL Draft CoverageHow NFL draft affected Vikings�? 2019 opponentsMinnesota Vikings 2019 NFL Draft gradesMinnesota Vikings 2019 NFL draft capsulesVikings take fliers on CB Boyd, WR Mitchell, WR Johnson, LS Cutting in seventh roundVikings use sixth round to draft DT Watts, S Epps, OT UdohVikings draft USC linebacker Cameron Smith in fifth roundVikings trade up in fourth round, draft guard Dru SamiaVikings trade down four times, use third-round pick to select RB MattisonPotential Vikings Day 2 picks in 2019 NFL draftVikings select C Garrett Bradbury with 18th overall pick in 2019 NFL draftWe’ve tried to compile as thorough a list of Minnesota Vikings draft analysis as you’ll find anywhere on the internet, complete with a GPA for the first-round picks and overall draft. Without further ado, enjoy.Andy Benoit of SI.com: A+. “However it shakes out, this is case of player and need meeting together perfectly. New offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski wants to employ an outside-zone scheme to fit Kirk Cousins Jeffery Simmons Jersey , who is at his best throwing play-action off those outside zone looks. Bradbury is viewed unequivocally as the best outside zone blocking interior lineman in this draft.”Mike Tanier of Bleacher Report: A-. “A starter for several seasons at guard and center who has blocked for a variety of NFL players and prospects (quarterback Ryan Finley, running backs Nyheim Hines and Jaylen Samuels), Bradbury is experienced and dependable. He will quickly develop into a capable NFL starter. The crippling ennui of Vikings football aside, this is a fine pick.”Luke Easterling of Draft Wire: A. “Another great matchup of need and value, Bradbury is the best interior blocker in this class, and the Vikings desperately need to reload the offensive line across the board. There’s not a flaw in Bradbury’s game, and he’ll be an immediate upgrade inside for Minnesota.”Walter Cherepensky of Walter Football: B+. “I expected them to choose Andre Dillard when he slipped to them. Minnesota apparently wanted to stick to the plan and upgrade the middle of the offensive line. Pat Elflein was the worst center in the NFL last year, so he absolutely needed to be upgraded. Elflein will now move to guard, where he should perform better, meaning the Vikings are getting two upgrades with one pick. This is a good choice, as the Vikings absolutely had to bolster Kirk Cousins’ protection.”Dan Kadar of SB Nation: B+.Chad Reuter of NFL.com: A. “Bradbury is athletic and tough, considered one of the best center prospects to be picked in some time. Minnesota’s offensive line was in dire need of improvement so this selection will make quarterback Kirk Cousins and running back Dalvin Cook extremely happy.”Danny Kelly of The Ringer: A. “Bradbury has quick feet and other-worldly balance, and his innate ability to reach and seal play-side defensive tackles on runs could be the spark that Mike Zimmer needs to ignite the team’s disappointing ground game. The first-team All-American and winner of the Rimington Trophy (as the nation’s top center) is strong in pass protection Nate Davis Jersey , plays with an edge, and should be a plug-and-play starter at either center or guard.”Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com: B+.Steven Ruiz of For The Win: C-. “If you’re going to take a center with a top-20 pick, I suppose Garrett Bradbury is the kind of center you take. He has the movement skills and power to develop into a top center. But Minnesota needed a tackle and Andre Dillard, the best pass protector in the class, was on the board and the Vikings passed.”Nicklaus Gray of The Tennessean: A-.Darryl Slater of NJ.com: A.Detroit News staff: B+.Yahoo Sports staff: B. “He’s not big for an interior linemen, but he’s quick, agile (he is a former tight end) and smart. He has the goods to start immediately for the Vikings and stay there for the next decade.”Nick O’Malley of MassLive.com: A. “This is the football equivilant [sic] of drafting a bucket of water when your pants are on fire. Good job. You nailed it.”Bryan Fischer of Athlon Sports: A+. “Here’s a perfect marriage of team need and the top player at the position in several years. He’ll be a nice upgrade calling plays up front and has a good shot at being a Game 1 starter based on how prepared he is.”Mike Farrell and Adam Gorney of Rivals: Farrell �? B+; Gorney �?

The Spielman residence should be harmonious with a cornerback not being picked until Round 6 (Boyd was also a good value).

His presence will help QB Kirk Cousins as he and the Vikings try to rebound from Cousins’s highly disappointing first year in Minnesota. Bolstering Cousins’s offensive line with first-round C Garrett Bradbury also was wise.”Pro Football Focus staff: Below average.Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire: B+.Nate Davis of USA Today: B. “The offensive line (and run game in general) got needed assistance with first-round C Garrett Bradbury, fourth-round G Dru Samia and a back (third rounder Alexander Mattison) who could take the load off injury-riddled Dalvin Cook. Second-round TE Irv Smith should do quite a bit of damage against defenses understandably eyeing this club’s wideouts.”Andy Benoit of SI.com: A.Chad Reuter of NFL.com: A.Darryl Slater of NJ.com: A. “Bradbury is the best center in this draft, and Smith will really help Kirk Cousins. That was obviously the goal of Minnesota’s early picks �? to put pieces around Cousins.”Vinnie Iyer of the Sporting News: B+. “Rick Spielman knew he had to upgrade the offensive line for Dalvin Cook and Kirk Cousins Tytus Howard Jersey , but he didn’t ignore getting insurance for Cook and expanding the group of receivers for Cousins. Smith, Udoh and Boyd all had the potential to go much earlier in the draft. Bradbury will be their O-line anchor for a decade.”Thor Nystrom of RotoWorld: B. “Bradbury was a slam-dunk pick (I would have taken Dillard, but Bradbury is a perfect fit and was a fine value at 1.18). I also thought the Vikings absolutely pillaged on Day 3, consistently getting tremendous value all the way into Round 7. But I can’t go higher than a B because I thought the Purple had a disastrous Friday. Irv Smith is a tweener at a position that wasn’t of pressing need. I liked Mattison more than most, but you can’t take him with the last pick of R3 over superior talents Hakeem Butler, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Anthony Nelson and Julian Love, all of whom were snapped up immediately when the draft re-opened on Saturday.”Dan Kadar of SB Nation: B.GPA: 3.19
