I haven't done the deep dive on Branch, but from what I've read, he could not only be the nickel we need right away, but perhaps the SS of the future when Jenkins is gone. 
Maybe one of our armchair scouts can confirm or deny that. 
If the Jags are able to develop a nickel from a mid/late round pick to take that spot down the road after Branch plays there in '23...  it lends more value to the Branch pick. 

I think DL/Edge is their primary target at 24, but it just depends who falls if those guys are gone.

I have a scary feeling we are going to reach for a pass rush.

I have a feeling you're going to complain no matter what they do


I don't share this fear.
I believe this staff and FO understand value, and will identify value at 24 that addresses another need if their targeted DL/Edge guys are off the board. 
We'll see a nickel-capable DB or an offensive lineman fit need and value there if the pass better pass rush prospects are gone.
