It would be smart.. Or should we just keep picking defense..

Yeah....either or...

I'd go defense in the 2nd and hope Tretola is there in the 3rd

With the way they are chasing Beachum at the moment, if not successful, using the 2nd round pick on an O-lineman may not be as off-base as I would have imagined 2 weeks ago. 

I've been saying Ryan Kelly forever now...glad he is finally gaining major steam around here. Of course, now it's looking more and more unlikely that he'll be available. 

Yes, it does seem that Ryan Kelly will be available.  I think the Jaguars need one more lineman and most likely they will draft one on the 2nd or 3rd round.  By signing Malik Jackson and Tashuan Gipson, the Jags have a few less needs on defense and their 5th pick will almost certainly be on defense.  Thus they can certainly try to address their OL needs in the 2nd.

I think it really depends on who's available at the pick. At this point I'd be ok either way, though I'd prefer defense. Both are viable options at this point but I think it really depends on who falls

Third round guards are working out pretty well for Caldwell. That's where I'd be looking for a center or guard if I were him.  

I think there will be a defensive contributor/upgrade there in the 2nd - and I'd prioritize that higher. 

I think there will be a good offensive lineman available in the 3rd plus now with the Beacham signing I would go pass rusher in the 2nd.

Where's Glasgow supposed to go? I've seen a couple draft guys say 4th-5th but I've also seen 2nd-3rd. If we could get him in the 4th that would be great value. Idk that I would be for drafting an o-lineman in the 2nd with so many good DL prospects likely to be there

Quality guards can be found in the 3rd round. The talent on the defensive side isn't where it needs to be, add a 1st and 2nd round player to help the rebuild. We did well in FA with Jackson, Gipson, and Prince but we need to continue to upgrade.

Ryan Kelly would be great.

Well honestly not worried about it now. BAP defense until the 3rd

Defense round 1-4. Maybe all picks. We most likely need to trade picks and move up.8 draft picks will not make this team.


Man I have not said this since 1999

I don't think we've yet signed the stud that we need in the middle 3 of the offensive line.   We've acquired a backup guard, and a pretty good tackle, so we still need a C or a starting G if we move Linder or Cann to C.  

 

We can certainly field a complete offensive line now, but if our goal is to help Blake by giving him an improved running game, that requires one more top notch guy to go with Linder and Cann, and that guy is not yet on our roster.

I'm still not sure what we'll do about our center position (or our guard position if Linder/Cann move there), but I think with how well we did in FA that BAP makes a ton of sense.  I think if an O-lineman is ranked higher than a defender then we can do it, but otherwise yeah defense all the way.

I agree with this, that's why I'm leaning more on Ryan Kelly in the second.

If we managed to address the edge rusher situation in FA I would have been all for Jack in the first and Kelly in the second or trading up a little to take him.

 

Not having that pass rusher behind Fowler well...i'm not so sure,surely I'd go for Jack in the first and in the second it's open. I'm not that informed on G/C depth this draft.

1. Jack

2. Best available edge guy

3. Center/guard

Totally agree with ^^^, would be best solution to our existing needs!
