Another area i forgot to add was linebacker. I would like to see an upgrade opposite of Jack.

I think we have the pieces for a pretty good 34, so I'd like to see some widebody linemen and a few more LBs. I don't know that Schobert fits that alignment, but I think Quarterman would make a good ILB while Jack, Allen, Chaisson, Q. Williams...we have several guys that look like they can play standing up outside. then there's guys like Correa and Jacobs who might fit as well if you can slide Jack to ILB as well.

I'm in total agreement with this. Chaisson is a much better fit at 3-4 linebacker. He and Josh Allen would be able to generate the pass rush missing from the team this season. Correa is a guy worth keeping and would provide quality depth as an outside pass rusher. I'm not sure what Williams could do due to his lack of playing time so far, but he could also contribute if healthy.

The inside 3-4 backer position would have Jack, Schobert and Quarterman- as you mentioned. One guy I'd love to see drafted for this spot would be Nick Bolton from Missouri. He might be available with one of their 2nd round picks. 

The nose tackle position could be played by Hamilton, although I'd like to see him move to one of the 3-4 D.E. spots. Al Woods has indicated that he'd like to return next season and he has been a very good run-stuffer in the past. Due to his age, however, he would likely be good for only a year or two and would need to be rotated. Drafting a nose tackle would be a priority. Fortunately, finding a run-stuffing nose tackle without great pass-rushing skills should not be that difficult. It looks like a deep group at this position. Ideally, they could get their guy at the top of round 3 with Tyler Shelvin and Jordon Davis being the top priorities now. 

Finding defensive ends for this scheme would also be a priority for the new defensive coordinator. Hamilton would be a possibility along with Gotsis and Lynch. I'm not sure that Smoot or Costin would fit this scheme and Bryan seems to not fit any schemes.

The current roster is obviously very bad and improvements need to be found at most positions. It will take more than one off-season to accomplish this. However, if they can pick the right quarterback with the likely number 2 pick the future will be looking much brighter. The Jaguars should be able to also get an offensive tackle and tight end in this draft with the remaining focus on building the 3-4 defense.
