We are adopting the philosophy that it all starts up front. The big ugly men up front are the most important part of my ball club.  Through the draft and free agency, I am focusing on both interior offensive and defensive lines.

FREE AGENTS:
Josh Allen: work out a good deal or franchise tag
Agnew: Try to work out a cap friendly deal for both sides
Smoot: gone
Chaisson: Should of been cut 2 years ago
Ridley: Depending on the cap number and draft captial. If we can avoid the second rounder and not break the bank.
Herndon: Will try to resign for depth. Decent backup
Shatley: If cap number is right would resign for depth
McManus: Resign
Cleveland: gone
Johnson: gone
Blackson: gone
Barkley: gone
*there are no other jaguar pending free agents I would resign


Offensive Line: Need LG, C,RG
Cutting Scheriff
Keeping Cam Robinson
Luke Fortner demoted to guard or cut
Harrison stays put
Walker Little Depth with extensive work at guard in the offseason
The line is getting a complete rebuild outside of the tackles. Walker little will get a chance to prove he deserves a chance to start on the line.

Defensive Line: Need Edge and interior defensive line
Allen: Will be there
Walker: I am Hiring a 4-3 defensive minded coach and moving him inside at DT.   I may even want a DC coach with a cover 2 or zone scheme. I believe Walker will be disruptive inside.
End Opposite Allen: Will get one in the draft or free agency
bring in lots of competition to compete with Harris and Hamilton

Linebackers:
Olouokon is the Mike
Telvin Smith sorry Delvin Lloyd will be a weak side edge rushing linebacker
Need to find another LB if any of the ones we drafted cannot step up. There will be a competition will be searching in free agency and the draft

Defensive Back:
Darious Williams Will start outside
Tyson Campbell will start outside and expect much improved play because he is a better zone corner
Nickle we need to find in the draft or free agency
Cisco: Starts at FS
SS: It is a competition between Antonio Johnson and Dewey Wingard(who played better than most people know this season)

RB:
ETN will of course start
Bring in competition to push Bigsby
I also am a fan of having a fullback and plan on bringing one on the team for 4th and short situations. I want a GREG JONES type of player.

Wide Receiver:
If the team can keep Ridley I believe he will become that alpha WR we need.  IF we cannot, the team has to hunt for at the least a good #2 receiver to compliment Kirk.
Kirk: He continues
Zay Jones: When healthy he is a good player too
Bring in one in the draft if a guy I like falls to me in the top 4 rounds. Overall I am happy at WR. The issue this year were mostly injuries.

Tight End:
Engram: Stays
Strange: Rotation with Engram. Hopefully we can get something out of this second round pick.

Kicker:
Mcmanus: I resign him. Overall, he did a great job most of the year outside of that 5 kick skid late in the season. He has a leg and I trust him.


QB:
We roll with Lawrence on year 4 with a very close eye on him. I as a GM and going to invest every resource for his success. I vow to obtain a better offensive line and cater the offense to his needs. If he proves that he is the QB behind all the hype that is fantastic and we will give him his mega deal next off-season. IF he continues his inconsistent play I may have to bring in competition the following year and let his 5th year option play out. I am on the fence on Lawrence. Neither boom nor bust at this point IMO. I do know to win a Superbowl, one almost always needs a Boom of a QB. I do not know if Lawrence is the guy.

Draft:
It is hard to say if the Jags get comp picks this year or not. The team did pick up an extra 4th from NO but also lost a 2nd or 3rd round pick for the Ridley Deal. The jags also My draft philosophy is going to be real simple. I and a team of people I trust, build a big board of the top 200 players. In the first 4 rounds I pick the best big guy either interior offensive line or defensive line in each round. The one exception is if a receiver I really love drops an entire round on my board. The late round picks I use for depth and competition.

FREE AGENCY:
Resign Josh Allen:
Try to hit a home run with Chris Jones if he hits the market (yes I know it would be a big contract but would be worth it) Plan B would be Brian Burns
See if Tee Higgins can be got for a decent price
Cold call and see if I can score some Big Uglies for my scheme on prices that I can live with their cap number. The truth is going crazy in free agency, rarely pays off.
