I'm telling you that the tackles are now set, the left guard is set, the Center will likely only change if Morse falls off a cliff the next month, and the current right guard isn't under contract next year. We will (hopefully) invest in a center and guard in the offseason but it's not a given as we have a couple young guys already here in Hodges and Foster. I'm not gonna think that what I think matters a whit to anyone in the Jags Front Office; they haven't listened to me for two years, why would Baalke change course now?

The problem is that the Jags have the 25th ranked rushing offense and that won't change unless the offensive line is upgraded, and it will take more than just upgrading the RG.  The general consensus league-wide is that the way to beat the cover-2 shell that defenses have migrated to, is with a power running game.  If you look at the top 5: Ravens, Eagles, Commanders, Lions, and Eagles you're looking at winning teams.

At the end of the day it always comes back to successful drafting and building a pipeline of young talent at the OL position.

Again, three of the positions are already set and the 4th is likely. Replacing Scherff is the only sure fire thing next season, and heck. Baalke might even resign him too.

I'm not saying this is ideal, I'm saying the writing is on the wall. Best we get is rookie replacement center and free agent right guard. This team can't afford to replace Little, Harrison, and Cleveland.
