Top 5 needs? For next year? Before I get into that let's talk about linebackers. Specifically Myles Jack. If he is out for a time we will get to see what Quarterman, Dakota Allen and Russel can do at ILB. We know what we have in Wilson. Myles is not good at ILB. If he comes back, move him to OLB opposite of Allen. Maybe he can play better there.

Now on to top 5 needs for next year

1. O-line as Trevor gonna need protecting. Norwell will be gone, as will Cann. I fear Linder is going to be a liability at center, at best unreliable to make it through a year. Taylor is not progressing and Robinson isn't worth what he will want. Bartch may run block well but he is getting mauled in pass protection. So unless you want to see Trevor go the route of oft injured Andrew Luck, this better be a top priority. In fact, scouting improvement may top this need.

2. Edge rusher, unless they move Jack over there and he becomes all world but not likely. In any event edge rusher help is Always a priority.

3. ILB. What we have isn't good. Crossing patterns is just about the biggest weakness on defense after pass rush

4. Shutdown corner. 'nuff said

5. True #1 receiver. Whether draft or FA this needs to happen. I like Chark but he just hasn't panned out as a #1. Urbs was right about him playing small. Always did at LSU and has here in Jax. Plus, he gets hurt a lot.

I did not include D-line nor TE position because I feel both are holding their own now. Especially TE with the addition of Arnold and to a lesser extent Hollister. Safety I reserve judgement on until I see Cisco get significant playing time. But the O-line is far, far and away the biggest need on this team going forward.

All this said, that is a LOT of positions to fill 4 on defense and 5 possibly 6 on offense if you count WR#1, and 4 possibly 5 o-line positions
