Also, next year when the ONLY tackle under contract is Harrison we can have a self inflicted fire drill.

No OL taken this year will start in 2024 (barring injury obviously) and even then, Little would hop in.

And couldn’t they take a tackle next year in the draft? Or sign one in FA next year? Or draft some in later rounds this year? We all want the OL to improve but they paid Cleveland and Morse. Restructured Scherff. The OL is set for 2024

One of the most expensive positions in football is WR and the Jags continually pass on one. They need to get cheaper and younger.

If it was up to me, this entire draft would be WR, CB and OL. But you know there’s going to be a linebacker and RB in there because our GM is dense when it comes to the draft.

I agree on both points. My take in this draft we need on defense backups for CB and NT. These guys will get more and more reps in games as the season progresses. Likewise on offense we need backups at guard and tackle to do the same as most of our line while capable when healthy is likely to get nicked up like Sherff did last year. Also, it would avoid the need to overpay or give up draft picks for a FA next year at tackle. (or give up picks to move up in the draft) These positions are going to be a larger part of our success next year and in the future.

Now I agree it would be nice to have a tall fast 200+ lbs young WR to complement what we have now. Like the previous draftees we have pretty capable players ahead of him. WE have WR's that TL has been throwing to and that are well versed in our offensive system.  I can see this newbee backing up Gabe or Zay to start and time increasing as the season progresses. (if he is not a bust) This is a very deep receiver class. I looked at every receiver the Jags have met with most all were 6'2"-6'4" , 200-225lbs. and run 4.3 to 4.5.  I posted the list somewhere on here.  The vast majority of them are projected to be in the 4th to 6th round area.
