We still have an elite defense. Bouye has been hurt a lot this year. I’ve heard Sharpe say Ramsey is playing some of his best football. So we still have an elite CB unit.

Harrison looked pretty good as a rookie. Gipson is still a pretty good gambler and takes homer in chances on picks, so our secondary is still very good.

Our LBs are the fastest in the NFL. I read where Jack is a beast in coverage. Smith lacks in coverage but makes up for it with scrappy turnovers and isn’t our leader on defense. Jacobs will have his rookie year behind him. 

Yannick still has the ability to wreck games. I think Campbell comes back another year to give us 8-10 Paul Spicer type production. So that gives us a formidable pass rushers to go along with Abry Jones in the middle. Maybe Taven comes to life?

Over on offense we get Lee back and hopefully draft another WR. Westbrook has become our best offensive player. Maybe Hurnsy comes back? We need a spark at WR.

Most of all we have to draft a TE that can get on top of those LBs on 3rd down and separate. We need some improvement there.

We get our best offensive linemen back with Linder and Robinson. We need to draft a couple of linemen to protect whatever QB we go with. Will Grier? Case Keenum? Mike Glennon? Jarrett Stidham in the 4th?

Bohannon should be back to help lead the way for our backs.

Fournette gets one more shot to build off his rookie season and show the fans he is worthy. With a depleted oline and injuries, 2018 was a struggle. But he get so another shot. Yeldon comes back and does his thing. Grant comes back to give us a boost.

We get all of our special teamers back.

We keep Marrone and Coughlin but Dave goes. Coughlin makes all the calls.

We sign 2 or 3 key free agents and right the ship on our way to a 10 win 2019 season.

So many things wrong here - too hard to address them all.  But saying that we'll sign 2 or 3 key free agents when we won't have enough cap space to even retain our own free agents?  Heck, we're going to have to cut several players just to create enough cap room to sign the draft class, and let's not forget that Jack, Ramsey, and Yannick are going to need contract extensions and that will cost quite a bit.  

Then the pink elephant in the room is QB.  If they cut Bortles, which is far more likely than not, you have to sign a free agent QB to come in and that's going to cost at least $10 a year - likely more.  Forget Foles or Bridgewater as they'll be too expensive, heck even Flacco will demand $10M plus per year.  That leaves you with a re-tread like Fitzpatrick and another losing season next year.

Lol

I typed something and posted it before proofreading. Was too busy to fix it so deleted until later.

I was going to add a few positive outlooks for the Jaguars 2019

Easier schedule
Out of the QB Twilight Zone

Just dawned on me. Marrone’s objective in benching Bortles and canning buddy Hatchett-distancing himself from failure. Signaling to his players that change is coming, do not give up.

The schedule next year is harder, not easier.
