1.  Irrespective of position or where they are projected to go in the draft, who are on your top 5 wish list for the Jaguars?  Mine?  Jordan Davis, Jameson Williams, Lindenbaum, Isaiah Likely, Jahon Dotson.

2.  Assuming we end up with a top 5 pick, would you be willing to trade down?  If so, how far back would you be willing to trade back?  Is there a player you would have in mind when determining how far back to trade?  In other words, below this point, your targeted player likely would not be available?

3.  Is there a player for whom you would trade up?

4.  Of the top 5 you listed in #1 above, is there a player/position you would be willing to forgo in the draft if you signed a top tier guy in free agency?

5.  If you were unable to get a trade down and were forced to pick in the top 5, who would be your target?  For me, Jordan Davis.

I see you eschew an edge rusher in your top 5. I suppose the trade off is for Jordan Davis but I agree with others that we already have a serviceable NT. If we indeed wind up picking second then Hutchinson or Thibs is there for the taking.  Up until yesterday I thought Ojabo could be the edge we needed instead of Hutch. Not anymore. This guy could be the next JJ Watt or one of the Bosas. If they are gone when we pick then I lean toward WR, possibly moving back from 4th or 5th a couple spots since I feel we would have to be that far down to be too low to get Hutchinson.

I don't know if I eschew edge rusher.

I have my doubts about Thibodeaux, and I haven't seen enough of Hutchinson and Karlaftis to be solidly pro or con in either case.  Not only that, if you have a GM who knows what they are doing, they can find 3-4 edge rushers in the mid rounds.  Of course, we have Baalke, so that excludes us.
