We've got some great pieces, and I don't want to get rid of them.

On defense Ngakoue, Allen, Ronnie Harrison. I like Boyoue (SP).  On offense, I like all of our receivers with the exception of Lee.

I think the tear-down and rebuild will focus on the OL and front 7 of the defense. On the OL, I would think no one is safe, with the possible exception of Taylor the rookie, because he's so young. I don't think Linder is all that anymore. Norwell is a decent run blocker, but it doesn't compensate for his poor pass blocking and his tendency to commit penalties.  I'm disappointed with Robinson. I expected more from him.  He might be safe next year, because LTs are so hard to find.

I could move on from Fournette, although I doubt they cut him next year.

I love Minshew. I'd like him to continue playing this year, to work through his problems, and see if we have a franchise QB.  Marrone won't let that happen though.

On defense, the LBs are a mess. I don't know what to do with Jack, and who knows what's going on with Telvin Smith.

Losing Dareus hurts. I bet (hope) we spent one of our first-round picks on a mean nasty DT.  That's basically one of the major problems with this team--our LOS aren't tough or very smart.

Of course, it goes without saying that Marrone and Caldwell are gone.  I actually think Caldwell's done a pretty good job in drafting in recent years. But the Jags seem to lose great players to other teams (A-Rob and Ramsey). I don't want to be a farm team for the Bears and Rams anymore.

Thoughts? Arguments?
