The Saints and Rams geared up last year for that push because of said windows. Teams like the CHEATERS, Steelers and Packers do an good job of releasing players w/high cap #s but they don't make splashes in the playoff drive to the SB. Except for the CHEATERS. 

We the Jaguars has an window of opportunity before the front office will have to jettison players like Myles Jack, Bouye and Campbell just to name a few. At this point, in my opinion, we do not have their replacements on the roster via the NFL draft. We did an good job of drafting Bryan early but we need to do Much Better in this category of drafting for the future instead of the present. Success does cure this BUT.

I wish people would stop including Bouye on lists like this. Bouye and Ramsey being out there together give the Jaguars an elite secondary. Without Bouye we go from one fo the few best to being practically crash. Ramsey can over cover half the field, and you can't just find another guy who can cover as well. Keep in mind that Bouye can basically cover just as well as Ramsey. The only reason you list him behind Ramsey is he's not as great at getting those INTs, but that doesn't mean we're ok parting with him.  The day Ramsey or Bouye depart you can pretty much say the Jags window is closed.

Actually in 2017 he had more interceptions (6) than Ramsey (4) though it was pretty much expected.  Teams were throwing away from Ramsey more.  The 2018 season saw fewer INT's overall as a team though Ramsey did have three and Bouye didn't get any.

I just don't think one is better than the other in that specific category.
