How far away is this team from being consistent playoff team?

  • Need a good Strong Safety - might need a FS too depending on how Cisco finishes the year
  • Need another corner to play opposite Tyson (Brown should compete with a new addition) Darby can walk
  • Need a new scheme and DC for the defense - Secondary is too heavily tasked in this scheme unless your are stacked with coverage talent
  • Put Lloyd on the trade block - Miller and Oluokun are your starters at ILB when in nickel
  • Need a new RG 
  • Need to make a decision at LT 
  • Upgrade the Z receiver - Davis a'int it
  • Need a staff that can find a way to work all the stupid mistakes out of this offense 
I agree with all of this, but I do think it’s a lot to fix in one offseason and there are some areas we can address that can make up for some of the others.

For example on d… better DC, and  if we can get a very good DT to collapse the pocket , and some serviceable depth behind our d front this offseason, then walker and Allen become better players even if we can only address one of the holes in the secondary and our front seven becomes a big problem for teams.  

And on o if we keep Engram and Kirk and fix RG become more physical and resign little.. then we can live with Davis until a better more affordable option comes along. 

But I would def kick Darby and Davis to the curb if possible.

It is a lot to fix in one offseason, and the coaching/F.O. changes are the most daunting in my opinion. 

The player personnel stuff is very doable IMO. 

The Jags are projected to have 59 million in cap space next year before unloading anyone, and they have 9 picks including two selections in the third round and two selections in the fourth. 

They can definitely shore up that secondary, add a Z receiver and land a RG with that kind of capital. 

For me, the real waiting game right now is just all about whether or not Khan cleans house or lets the Baalke/Pederson braintrust have another go at it. And I think that boils down to how many more embarrassing blowouts take place and how far away from sniffing a wildcard berth they end up.
