One specific aspect of this strategy that I think opens itself to criticism is that Trevor Lawrence has a limited window on his rookie contract. The longer the Jaguars wait to have higher end players in place that are ready to play at a level needed to win consistently,  the less the Jaguars will take advantage of the window that Lawrence will be a bargain under the salary cap.

Ugh! That tells me that even if Meyer and Baalke are colossal failures, Khan is committed to sticking with them for the foreseeable future. I think I'm gonna be ill.

This is very true, but we're already treating free agency like we are strapped for cash and Lawrence isn't even on the roster yet. That doesn't bode well.

I definitely believe Shad Khan will give Urban Meyer at least 3 seasons to demonstrate whether the Jaguars should continue to commit to his plan.  It's realistically possible Meyer could resign earlier but I doubt Khan will be making the decision for Meyer.

Because Trent Baalke is in more of a support role, I think he could be replaced sooner if his job performance isn't meeting the expectations of Khan and / or Meyer.

Having expressed all of this, by no means am I predicting this new Jaguars regime will fail.
