Quote:The Jaguars still have to find another edge rusher to pair with Josh Allen and Dawuane Smoot, another receiver, at least one more linebacker, and figure out who will start at left guard, but the roster is in better shape now than it was Monday morning. They also have 12 draft picks and could address some of those issues (possibly edge rusher with Aidan Hutchinson at the No. 1 overall pick)

Sounds about right. I am hoping Baalke's aggressive approach this week in the market carries right on over into the draft next month. There's no reason to sit on 12 picks in total. Especially in the 6t round. If there's a quality WR1, LB or LG that can immediately start for this football team I am not going to fault him for trading up to grab him. 

I think the general consensus is that Hutchinson is the guy on opening night to go along with Allen and Smoot. The fact that they didn't go after players like Gregory and Chandler at DE pretty much sealed that pick up for me. After Thibodeaux's immaturity and Hutchinson's showing at the combine he's clearly the pick. 

Really hoping WR1 is there on the 2nd night of the draft though. In an ideal world? Jameson Williams somehow falls there. However, his upside is probably too great to pass up on for most teams. I would be fine with Watson or Burks if they slip there. I think RD3 is where you can get a starting caliber LG, possibly Sayler out of Georgia. I also think you can get you another LB there for sure. 

After that? Need to be on the phone trying to wheel and deal those picks in RD4, RD5 and especially RD6 to climb back up into the bottom of RD3 or early RD4 for another player with starting potential. Landing 3 - 5 starters in this year's class is doable. I still think RT needs to be addressed. Unless the intention is Little taking it over.
