Overall. Luke Fortner & Chad Muma > John Metchie III. They just added two starters last night. Two, very capable and competent starters at that with great football IQ.
WR wise I think it's really over at this point for them unless they decide to trade up today or get lucky in RD5. Only viable options out there for me are Justyn Ross, Khalil Shakir and Calvin Austin III. Those are the only three receivers left where I could see Baalke spending a draft pick on them.
Jags can look at free agent wrs. I know it's a long shot and most likely wont happen, but there are still some interesting ones.
Julio Jones, Jarvis Landry, Will Fuller, Jamison Crowder, T.Y. Hilton, A.J. Green, and Odell Beckham Jr.
Not sure if any of these have been picked up. If so, oops.

I think Jarvis Landry went back to Cleveland the last I heard. Odell will probably run it back with LA. I would like Julio or AJ.

Of those, I really like Shakir. Very smooth in routes. Short area quickness. Austin is going to be good as a slot. Fast and slippery. I don't think Ross could make the roster over Treadwell, Godwin, or Agnew.
I could see them picking up Ross if Trevor advocates for him.
I could also see them picking up Julio for a year. Other than that I don’t think they’ll do much until next offseason, probably just see what they get from what they have on the roster

I would really like Julio Jones. Probably not gonna get much productivity, but what he brings in as a pro could really help Lawrence.
I think they're honestly prioritizing the running back position and tight end position at the moment. If I had to guess based on what's left out there big board wise. The TE group has more potential now than the WR group that's remaining. They also fit this roster a little bit better. Same for the running back position.
I really don't think, again, based on Pederson's system, philosophy and approach to the game, that, he's not going to be placing an over the top or heavy emphasis at the wide receiver position this year. Think about it. If you're trying to cut back on mistakes, eliminate turnovers, etc.
The best way to do that is to shorten the football field play calling wise and close the gap with your running game. I really expect Lawrence to flourish being back in an RPO this year. I think that's the most overlooked aspect of Pederson's arrival here. Most of everything he did at Clemson with those stacked backfields, the swinging pass plays, the ability to hand it off or tuck it and run or to be able to get the defense to cheat up so he could shoot a quick one over the middle is exactly what this team is looking for out of him this year.
I think they're looking at G/T, RB, TE & Safety today. I think that's their primary positions left to really shore up some more on the back end and add some depth or starting potential to this afternoon. If they get a WR? Great. If not. It wouldn't hurt my feelings and it wouldn't surprise me at all. I also like what some of you on here are saying. You could probably get a solid veteran deal done with Julio Jones or A.J Green if you absolutely feel like you need to add another receiver. However. It may not be necessary.

Julio wants a SB i'd assume, not whatever the hell we're doing.
