I think the recipe for success is building a dominant offensive line.  To do that, we must invest in interior linemen relatively high.

 

I think Beachum will likely get his extension, so we will have him at LT.

 

LG I say will be played by our 2nd round pick

 

C will be Linder

 

RG Cann

 

RT Parnell/3rd round pick

 

 

then draft another lineman in round 4-5 to have quality depth & to develop him

 

The right side is the weakest of all and you'd address that last?

 

Cann needs to go, as does Parnell.

 

I'd put the replacement priority as RT, then RG, then LG.  Of the three existing guys at those positions, only Omameh is worth keeping (and as a swing/backup) IMO.

 

Parnell and Cann hardly got in the way of their opponents, it was like the Jags stood up practice dummies at RG and RT.

I am not ready to throw Cann out the door.  I also wonder if he would make a better LG.. I know he played a lot of LG in college and was very good against SEC defenders.  Maybe slide Cann to LG and draft a RG and RT.  

 

I think LG and RT are equally important.

Cann played LG last year

A guy I have my eye on is Orlando Brown Jr, the son of the former NFL OT Orlando "Zeus" Brown, who famously get hit in the eye from Jeff Triplette's flag. Brown is 6'8" 340lbs and is the starting LT at Oklahoma. He is only a red-shirt sophomore so I doubt he comes out but it also wouldn't surprise me if he did.

 

I would love to have a mammoth like that playing RT for us.

Beadles

Beadles

thats right, my bad. Damn that seems long ago

1st Cam Robinson (slide in at RT)

2nd OJ Howard (TE) great blocker also good as receiver

3rd Ethan Pocic

 

Also address G in FA

Pocic can play C, G, and even RT (iirc).

You play your 5 best guys and the new coach staff hopefully uses them correctly. With Pocic the team has the option to move Linder back to G, if they feel it is best.

Personally, I'd trade down from a high pick and try to get either a couple of lower first round picks or a low first and a very high second. Then, I'd try to land two of the guards you named. From there, I target a RB and a Safety.

 

If we have a high first round pick, we also will have a high second round pick.

 

I doubt we try to land two guards in the same draft.

---

There are always solid lineman that can be found in the mid rounds.  

 

I don't know what to think of Bortles.  He doesnt seem to have "it".  I would consider looking at QBs early if there is one we happen to really like.

Bortles certainly does have "it." His arm and decision making definitely regressed, but he still knows how to keep plays alive when they break down.

I like Beachum, but I don't think he has earned that 4 year $40 million option. I also doubt he re-signs if the team doesn't pick the option up, so think we'll be in the market for a new LT next year.

---

I've checked all the pending UFA offensive linemen in 2017. Does anyone have somebody that they really like that could be available?


Got to have a starting guard and both tackles could be upgraded imo.

Right guard. He subbed for Brandon Linder most of the year.

The contract structure allows us to cut him anytime without owing a cent. He does not need to re-sign to stay in Jacksonville.

Most likely unless we pick Cam Robinson.

I was under the impression that he would be a free agent next year if we don't exercise the four year option. Also, if we do exercise the option, I think the $40 million includes some guaranteed money. I could be wrong though.

Exercising the four-year option is not "re-signing" Beachum. It is just preventing him from becoming a free agent next year.

 

At this point I just hope Beachum plays well enough to keep the starting job so we don't have to start over with a rookie.

Ronald Leary will be a FA. He would be a massive upgrade at OG.

He lost his job to La'el Collins. I don't want any other team's backups. We tried that with Parnell and look what we got. I want quality starters.

Check again, Leary is starting for the most dominant OL in football. La'el Collibs would've been a top 10 pick if he weren't accused for mirdering someone, the fact that he was in a battle with Collins shouldn't be a slight to him.
