Quote:Surprised by all the support for Williams.  He would play the same DT position as Sen'Derrick Marks, although he could play the same DE as Red Bryant.  Miller is the "nose" tackle in our 4-3 defense.  So Williams doesn't fit the type of player to plug in for Miller.

 

DL is the strongest position group on the current roster.  But when the team looks to the future both Clemons and Bryant are over 30, so I'm not eliminating a DL from being the first draft choice.

 

Just watching the game the FS position appears to be giving up the most yards and the most explosive plays.  So I think upgrading the FS position would strengthen the defense the most.  Now how to upgrade that position - first or second round draft choice or free agency?

 

There are two QB at the top of most mock drafts.  So unless the Jaguars catch fire after the break, the team may be able to trade back in the first round to pick up an OLB and have an extra pick.  The LB corps is the weakest position group and needs multiple additions.

 

So the team has lots of viable options, but I'm still looking at FS as the key to improving the defense.

 

The biggest thing is this year's FS prospects aren't the rangy centerfield types...which is what we would need.  Those FS types don't really show up in this year's draft and have "value" until the 3rd round.  Taking Collins would be a waste and Prewitt any earlier than the 3rd is a waste.

 

While DL may be our "deepest" position on the team it also happens to be the "deepest" position in the early draft sans the QBs which we don't need. If a "better" prospect happens to be DL you don't skip over him for a "lesser" prospect just because he is DL.

 

Overall this draft is really lacking in 1st round type DBs...Collins is SS...Peters got kicked off team..I.K.O is really small...
