I think when it's all said and done it's going to be one of the ugliest ones we've had. Reeks of 2008 when the offensive line got ravaged with injuries and they thought going all in and early on defense was the answer to their prayers after that 2007 play-off push.

Oh well. Injuries happen. But [BLEEP]. We've sure had enough of them around here.

Thinking like you propose here is exactly why the team is in the position it's in now. Years and years of "need" drafting instead of best player drafting.

Last year the Jaguars "needed" a running back, so they flushed a top five pick on one with significant injury problems coming out. (didn't "need" a QB, lol!) In 2015 they "needed" a defensive end, so they flushed a top five pick on a guy that had never shown he could play the position. Keep going back and you'll keep finding examples of trying to fill roster holes with draft picks. It didn't help then and it wouldn't have helped now. If Chark, Harrison, and Bryan turn out to be players then this years draft will have worked out, if not then at least it won't be because they thought they needed to fill a roster spot.
