Your “it’s go s to show its more important than ever” statement makes no sense.

Defense is important but it’s just not as important as offense these days.

Get an elite offense with numerous speed guys and then have pass rushers and corners. Grabbing 2 linebackers in a draft with 3 of your first 4 picks is bad. The Jags have 1 very good corner (Campbell) and another good corner (Williams). They have good pass rushers potentially in Walker, Allen, and Smoot. What this team doesn’t have (and Ridley is still unknown) are players to stretch the field and win 50/50 balls on the outside.

It’s all a difference in philosophy but I think this team needs juice on offense.

Williams has been a disappointment tbh. Have you watched us play this year?  Our WR group is better than our CB and pass rush.  I agree 100% that we need more juice on offense but I dont think we need it more than CB and pass rush.  Ridley is more of a sure think than any rookie regardless.  Ill make a sig bet with you right now that Ridley out performs any rookie WR we draft.  We really could upgrade almost all positions.  QB, RB, LB, and P are the only starting positions I dont think we could upgrade in the upcoming draft.  Trevor is starting to show he is the man we thought he was.  If he continues to improve the rest of the season the best chance we have at success next year is to help this defense.  Bradys early years in NE.  They won with a great defense, ST, and Tom Brady.  I think we need to copy the Pats dynasty where they won 3 in 4 years. They one thing we have that they dont is an elite RB outside of the year they had Dillon.
