When watching the LA Rams comeback win in Baltimore, after seeing around half of the Rams games this season, a couple of opinion thoughts came to mind:

1. Aaron Donald is the best player in the NFL by a significant margin.  This is taking position value out of the equation.  

2. Aaron Donald is the best Defensive Lineman in the NFL since Reggie White was in his prime. 

This past Sunday on the FOX-TV telecast between the 49ers and Rams, one of the announcers ( it was either Joe Buck or Troy Aikman ) mentioned that 49ers Coach Kyle Shanahan said to FOX crew that Aaron Donald is his # 1 opposition concern in the game.  IMHO, for good reason, even on a Rams team with many high end players, including Jalen Ramsey.

If this draft works out like many speculate and the Jags end up with a highly rated pass rusher to work opposite Josh Allen, then this "one wish from a genie in a bottle" scenario yielded Donald - 

I think we'd see a "Sacksonville 2.0" scenario that eclipses the prior version.

Through the Jaguars first 27 seasons in the NFL, the team's most dominant Defensive Front 7 player I recall in the Jaguars games I watched was Calais Campbell in the 2017 season.  

As impactful as Campbell and the overall Jaguars Defensive Line was that season, I agree with you that Aaron Donald, combined with Josh Allen & the 2022 pick # 1 selection, would even be more impactful than the original Sacksonville D-Line unit.
