Only one weak link in the secondary is better than it has been in some time and I don't want to be desperate for a decent back in September if the injury bug lingers.

To be honest, I want to look better this year obviously...but I'm still focused more on 2023 as far as seriously competing goes.

I really don't want 2023 to roll around and we're looking at having to start a rookie safety. I am 100% fine with taking 2022 to see how our heavily invested RBs injuries turn out and if need be we can readress with a FA or rookie in 2023 and expect instant RB impact.

I have a different perspective on it. And it's about doing right by Trevor Lawrence after he was thrown to the wolves last year. 
 I'm not going to neglect the RB situation if there's a chance we aren't healthy there September due to extended recovery or set-backs. I want that running game to take pressure off of him when possible. 

Luckily - there are still ways to address many positions. I'm not advocating a pick prior to the 5th round on the RB, and I'd be good with a 6th and an UDFA if the prospects have merit. I just don't want to bank on 2 major injuries to be perfectly on rehab schedule w/o setback. 

Scenarios exist wherein the Jags find prospects at EDGE, WR, ILB, S, OL before looking to a late round RB. 
Just comes down to how they fall and which positions Baalke and company are more willing to reach for.
