You are confusing separate issues here. 

Malik Jackson is not too old to play well for 3 or 4 more years. He simply costs too damn much.  Same with Dareus. 
The Jags likely value Ramsey and Ngakoue's 2nd contracts more than the final years of those guys' deals. 

Campbell on the other hand will begin to decline in the coming years unless he is some crazy outlier percentile example of beating father time. (he already is really) 

Two separate issues  - either of which could indeed be aided by the Bryan acquisition.

And on the CB side... why wouldn't you want a young backup ready to step up in case of injury, especially if he could possibly upgrade nickel in the mean time.

You can't have enough good players at the premium positions.

Waiting until too late (after they're already declining) is a losing proposition.  As I've always said...

You draft players when they are available, not when they are convenient.

Murphy's Law says if you wait until you desperately need a player (see QB position at Jax prior to Bortles,) then you're sure to strike out finding one.
