Quote:I'm just sick of people downgrading the importance of offensive linemen. I don't care what offense you're talking about, it will go nowhere without a decent offensive line, and I am pretty frustrated that after 4 years of rebuilding, we have failed to build a decent offensive line. It's the most important position on the team outside of QB, because a great offensive line controls the ball, keeps the other team off the field, takes pressure off of the quarterback, keeps our own defense off the field. Offensive line is critical to the success of the team, and yet for year, I hear people say, oh, don't worry, we can get offensive linemen later in the draft. We need to invest some significant draft capital in our offensive line this year.


But I am very happy about the guys we've apparently signed, don't get me wrong.


I think the reason it's down graded is because outside of LT it's easy to find a good player to fill in. However we seem to suck as finding them.

Guess FA is over and there's no draft this year
Any news on Donta? Surprised it has been so quiet on him. 

I just think it's hilarious that the Texans spent all that money on Osweiler and wound up giving the Browns a 2nd round pick to take him off their hands.

Last I heard Titans were interested but he's probably going back to NE.


Also surprised we haven't heard much on Dontari Poe
Nfl live on espn praised the defense and additions but said we all know their problem is qb if Bortles continues to turn it over wont matter. Obviously

I'm still hoping we bring back Beachum since his market seems to be negligible
Let's get Kayvon Webster

Defense can only be on the field so much and can't defend pick 6's. Let's hope he comes back throwing spirals.

<p class="">The <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Jaguars?src=hash'>#Jaguars</a> should sign Nick Mangold.

Hope so. We need a backup plan if the divison is within reach this year for sure.

We got rid of Gus. That should help.


Not to mention the draft and FA isn't over. Take a step back and enjoy Bouye, Campbell and Church. Defense wins championships and this defense can be special.

This, and move Linder back to guard.

Defense was solid last year and we had 3 wins.

<p class="" style="font-size:26px;">LB Lerentee McCray to Jacksonville. One year, $3.5m max, $1m guaranteed. Limited snaps last season so good deal there.

<p class="" style="font-size:26px;">---

<p class="" style="font-size:26px;">Solid rotation player

#Redskins signed S DJ Swearinger to a 3-year deal worth $4.5M per year. $6M in year 1

 

 

Man another one the Jags missed a little on. Swearinger last year was far better than Church, a lot younger, and somehow cheaper. I know they wanted that team leader but still...

If they are thinking "stop-gap" center. Nick Mangold and maybe even John Sullivan are options to consider.
