I think the first move they are making is the move they have and are not. They continue not to offer Cecil Shorts a new contract. His play capped out as a #3 WR type of player, and this team now has a trio of receivers (4 counting Blackmon) with higher upside. It would not surprise me to see them re-sign Alualu on the cheap and not create another need.
In the draft, I always seem to hope for a trade down to pick up additional picks. This year is no different. However, if I had to choose one position if they stay at their pick, it would be a rush DE or Leo. A replacement for the aging Clemons, and I am not sold on Branch, is needed. If the right Leo is not there, I could also see a stud Otto if available. You don't need to use a top 5 draft pick to find a starting ROT, TE, or RB.
In FA, I do see the Jags getting very active and overpaying, as Caldwell and Bradley will be on the hotseat for wins next year to save their jobs and what's left of their reputations. Rookies take time to develop; time they do not have now.
