There's virtually no way we can spend the money it would take to reach the cap. Tagging Cam will barely dent our cap space. Letting him walk just to use the #1 pick on his replacement would be so much worse than just using a chunk of that cap space on Cam and letting a later pick develop for a year.

Walker Little is already on the roster and was drafted to replace Cam, so using the #1 overall pick on Neal would be a huge waste.  Neal isn't an elite LT prospect anyway.  You take one of the two DE's with the 1st pick, or you trade back and recoup value.  There are better ways to spend the cap space to help the offense.  If Davonte Adams doesn't get tagged, the Jags could make him the highest-paid WR in the NFL.  Plus they could still afford to bring back DJ Chark and sign some mid-tier players and mid-round picks to compete at RT and G.  

There should be multiple TE's and WR's to choose from in FA, so you could always go O-line in the 2nd and/or 3rd round and still end up better than this current lineup.
