We pretty much have needs everywhere.

Yep.

It'll be hard for me to wait.

It's still really early in the offseason and football withdrawal is kicking my butt.

Yes, the Jaguars do, but the quality of players at any particular position during any particular pick of the draft aren't necessarily as good as the players at a different position.

The upshot is the team needs to think about getting players that will contribute over the next 5-10 years, not worrying about displacing mediocre players already on the roster during this season.

Oh...that concept is clear.

It goes back to accurate evaluation of talent and drafting accordingly.  As I stated repeatedly during the Gene Smith era, if your player evaluations are not accurate, and you rank the players on those inaccurate evaluations, it doesn't matter if you take your highest rated player on your board when it's time to pick, which is why the BPA approach, while perhaps preferable to a needs based approach, is not infallible.
