Big Signing for the Texans getting Hunter. Better make sure those OTs are ready to go.
Ridley just changed his Cover photo on his twitter to him in a Jags uni. Trev is going to have some weapons.

Ridley, Kirk, Davis, Maybe Zay and Parker. That's pretty legit. Plus Engram.

I'd much prefer keeping Ridley. Thomas Jr. is a great prospect and excels at catching the deep ball. The acquisition of Gabe Davis, whose strength is also as a deep threat, would not be critical. Thomas definitely has a higher ceiling than Davis, but the Jaguars would be better off drafting a pass rusher, DT or cornerback in round 1. If Ridley goes to New England or another team, Thomas would remain a possibility at 17 but I'd still prefer one of the other positions and keep Zay Jones on the roster.

Really don’t like that.

Good thing Anton stonewalled Anderson last year.
I'd lose Ridley for Higgins, especially after saying Lawrence was one of the 3 QB's he wants to play with.

Me, either. We’re going to be in a dogfight with Houston for the next few years. This doesn’t help.

If Ridley is back in the fold, #17 becomes less of a need pick. The blue chippers will be gone at 17. I'm seeing a couple one-dimensional NT prospects, a tall wide receiver with potential but no sure thing, and some CBs with question marks. I'd try to trade down a few spots like last year and nab more picks. I'd aim to walk away with doubles and triples from this draft. Stock up the interior lines, and BAP at all positions but QB, RB, LB, and S.
Ridley is signing a contract tomorrow @ 4.

He wants to be here.

I really want us to develop some WR talent instead of FA

They’ve never used a draft pick on a WR in the first 4 rounds for Trevor.

Hopefully they take Newton or Murphy at 17 and then Coleman/Franklin/Legette at 48.

I’d love it, but… 
My gut says they won’t do this

They’ll target CB and DT in the first two rounds and a OG in the 3rd 

It’s a shame such a great draft for WRs to not take advantage
With what the Jags have done so far this off season and Ridley returns they become a real wild card come draft day.

Assuming we obtain Ridley and nothing else in free agency, I agree that CB and DT will be our top two priorities in the draft.  After that, we need edge.  We have good starters but nothing after it.
So dumb if we don't take a wr in the draft

Yeah it’s imperative we get a DT, unless they seriously think Hamilton is going to come back 100%. 

Really hope we can get Calais to play another year here if we don’t get Uche

Uche re-signed for peanuts with the Pats.

It's a strong year for WR in the draft and with Kirks contract up next year I believe, it would be a good year to add a legit weapon for the future but they would probably be 4th or 5th on the depth chart. We have other areas that could use a top pick this season.

It feels with the moves we've made that the FO want to compete now and if Ridley comes back then it feels WR will not their main concerns to improve.

This is the NFL, the future is always now. This team is ready, the glaring holes are getting smaller by the day.
