Clearly the defense worked.  Aside from keeping guys like Ramsey and Ngakoue and Campbell, not much I would do differently defensively.  Maybe blitz more often/show more defensive variety, but I wouldn't mess with what worked.

Offensively?  I would have made more of an effort to keep Allen Robinson, though I know there was a sense he wanted out.  The team liked running the ball at that point.  Considering the need for a back that could convert short yardage and be a pounder, the fournette pick made some sense on some level, especially considering Bortles was still young.  I also made some advocacy for Marshon Lattimore, Jamal Adams or The S from Ohio State that went to the Colts, but given the presence of Mahomes and Watson on the draft board, taking the QB is clearly the call in hindsight, and find a power back later.  Or at the very least, you find a better veteran QB than Foles.  This would enable the Jaguars to improve the most important position on the team while still giving us the bruising presence at RB we needed.  I would have taken Will Hernandez instead of Taven Bryan in 2018 to improve the interior OL.
