O-Line needs to be our No.1 priority in 2020 Draft

So the first question has to be, have we done enough yet to stop the run.

You can prioritize them however you like really, but CB and OT get tougher to land quality the longer you wait. 
NT can often be hit on in mid rounds comparatively.

I think with THIS draft, if you want an OT you have to use a first rounder if you're looking for a starter. The depth at the position just isn't there. (Thomas, Becton, Wirfs, Wills, Jones all likely first rounders)
For CB, by our 2nd round pick have to get one for starter quality I think.

If we only need a true NT to backup and eventually replace Woods, I'm seeing what you are, probably can get one in the 3rd or 4th. But can we bank on Woods and Bryan being enough on the inside of the line, IDK.
I'll say this about the run D, it isn't fixed until it is. Meaning yeah we signed Scho and Woods, but until we see them actually perform and improve our run D, we should draft and prepare like we need more. But with those signings I think CB is probably our biggest "need" with only Herndon and some JAGS behind him on the depth chart.

Robinson was coming off an ACL injury. Norwell wasn't nearly as bad as fans would make you think, if you just forget about Caldwell and Coughlin making him the highest paid guard in the league. Linder as usual was solid.
Cann is trash and Richardson wasn't good enough to supplant him. That RG spot needs to be addressed but in this draft it can be done in the 2nd or 3rd round, if we miss out on a top talent like Wirfs.

Norwell was better last year than he was '18.  But the sack/FF and TD he gave up against Carolina sticks in the craw of Jaguars fans.

This has been Norwell's achilles heel if you will. Mostly does well but has one of these type of boneheaded plays just about every other game. 8 big whiffs a year negates any solid play for most fans lol
