Fans are hellbent on making this roster out to be garbage for some reason.
I think we are only a few pieces away from having a good battle for the AFCS with the tinhorns for the foreseeable future.

I don't see the doom and gloom.

Need more young talent on OL, DL, and WR.

CB is a perceived need understandably - but we really have no idea what the current unit is going to look like in the new scheme just yet. A draft pick there is as much about 2025 as it is 2024 IMO.

I'll also continue to point out that the past two drafts have been a collaboration between Pederson and Baalke and everyone keeps putting it all on Baalke.

If Cleveland and Morse turn out to be enough change to get run functionality back from our OL, we will see a radical change in production that doesn't require a first round WR pick. I'm not concerned about the offense beyond the OL. The line is what screwed them last year.

If I'm prioritizing needs for this roster I'm going:

IDL - get me a 300+ lb NT/DT to rotate with Hamilton
IOL - Get me a guard to push and eventually replace Scherff
CB - No long term sure fire solutions on the roster - need young talent to sustain new scheme - Campbell is a question mark in new scheme
WR - need young talent to sustain cap at position

LT - seems we'll put off fixing this until next year - that's acceptable IMO, but it has to get right

Of all of these - IDL is the only one that seems like a dire immediate need.

The bolded is my main gripe and always has been.

Those are 4 of the most important positions in football outside of QB. And they are still needs. They have no sure fire young talent at those positions. They still aren't sure if Campbell is an answer at CB. No young IOL and just one on the entire starting 5 (Anton). Zero young WR talent when you have a young franchise QB. They have no youth on the IDL either (Especially with Hamilton being a ?).

I want better drafts with players deserving of second contracts. At this moment, the Jags have very few of those. Trevor, Travon, and Anton are the only surefire young players I would give a second contract to.
