Justin Pugh is the guy I would like. The Coughlin connection will not hurt if we pursue him. His versatility is what I like most since he has played equally well at guard and tackle. He is also a total professional and leader who'd fit very well on our line. The only negative I've heard is that he isn't a "power" blocker and would fit better in a zone scheme. The guy has been a pro bowler and is capable of playing in any scheme. At age 27, he has several productive years left.

As far as other candidates, I say "pass." This team is built to win now and I don't see them spending a ton of money on any other position. They should be able to find a number 1 tight end, linebacker depth and Colvin's replacement in the draft. No doubt they will also address the quarterback position during the off-season, even if only to find a developmental guy to replace Henne. I still say 'the jury is still out" on whether Bortles will return. Those who say Coughlin/Caldwell have already made this decision are incorrect, in my opinion. If he throws for 300 yards, runs for 50 and commits no turnovers leading the Jags to an upset over the Steelers, how could they let him go? Despite having some miserable games this season, he has improved considerably in his 2nd full year under Hackett. Finding a significant upgrade at a reasonable price will not be easy. Let's see how this weekend plays out before speculating about breaking the bank for Cousins, trading for Alex Smith or drafting a quarterback in the first round. We will have plenty of time during the Jaguars' off-season for that.
