2015 First Draft Pick

#22
(This post was last modified: 11-11-2014, 01:13 PM by Cable.)

As I watch the Jaguars today, the areas of improvement in my opinion would be the following,
 
Offense:
 
TE - This position we should be looking for someone who isnt strictly a pass catcher. We should be looking for someone who is good in both blocking and catching. I say this as we run a balanced offense currently.
 
WR - I know I will upset people with putting WR down, but its not particularily high on my list of improvements this year. When I say WR though, its not just any receiver. It has to be a playmaker. I am talking about a WR1. The Dez Bryant, D Thomas, A.J. Green style players. Blackmon when here for the short amount of time, was on the border on WR1 and WR2 talent. This could be due to various reasons including our QB play, or no other viable pass catchers.
 
G/C - This is either for backup or replacement on either LG or C position depending on if the team wants Bowanko to continue working as the center. Either way we need to lose McClendon even if he is just depth.
 
OT - At this position, I am currently looking at a RT mostly during this offseason. Someone to challenge Pasztor for the position and provide depth. This upcoming offseason didn't look promising in terms of LTs. Also Pasztor is currently set to become a free agent.
 
Defense:
 
MLB - We all know Posluszny is getting older and this defense needs someone with a bit more speed, and not as prone to injuries. The only thing I would miss is his leadership. Of course watching him play with the blood on his fact was fun as well.
 
OLB - The OLB position needs to be improved. The only person I see at the moment worth actually maintaining is Telvin Smith.
 
FS - Yes this position is glaring with a need to be improved.
 
CB - This is a position where we are stronger, but might overcome any hurdle with adding another player. Ball is getting older and is a free agent at the end of the season. Gratz and McCray show promise, but making them fight for it wouldn't be a bad thing.
 
DT - Yes we are strong at DT, however Roy Miller is set to become a free agent. He will need to be replaced. I expect to draft a new DT unless we go for a guy in free agency.
 
DE - Another position in which we are ok at. We have Clemons, Branch, and Davis listed as our pass rushing DEs while Bryant, Alualu, and Smith are listed as our run stop ends. Branch has shown improvement, unfortunately I don't know if it was enough improvement to warrant skipping a playmaker in the draft. He has shown he could be decent depth at the very least.
 
With all of this said, I believe during free agency, we will target a TE, OLB, DT, and possibly a guard. Yes I am listing bigger names, as I admit, I haven't paid much attention to the little guys.
 
Free Agency Targets:
 
TE - Jermaine Gresham, Jordan Cameron, Charles Clay, and Julius Thomas
 
OLB - Justin Houston, Malcolm Smith, and Jason Worilds
 
DT - Da'Quan Bowers, Damon Harrison
 
G - Mike Iupati
 
MLB - Brandon Spikes or Nate Irving
 
FS - Devin McCourty or Rahim Moore
 
Draft Targets depending on Free agency should be DE, DT, MLB, OT, G/C, FS, CB
 
DE - Randy Gregory or Shawn Oakman
DT - Leonard Williams, Michael Bennett, Ellis McCarthy, Carl Davis or J.T. Surratt
MLB - Benardrick McKinney, Denzel Perryman, Eric Kendricks, A.J. Johnson
FS - Gerrod Holliman, Derron Smith, Kurtis Drummond, or Cody Prewitt
CB - Josh Shaw or Eric Rowe
OG - Laken Tomlinson, Tre' Jackson, or Aundrey Walker
OT - Corey Robinson, Rob Havenstein, Daryl Williams
 
With these prospects in mind and using CBS sports round ranking (yes I know its not accurate due to team needs), I would have the following with us at 2nd overall pick
 
Without Trade:
Round 1 - Randy Gregory
Round 2 - Eric Kendricks
Round 3 - Best FS available
Round 4 - Laken Tomlinson or Aundrey Walker
Round 5 - J.T. Surratt
Round 6 - Michael Dyer
Round 7 - Rob Havenstein
 
With Trade in top 10:
Round 1 - Shawn Oakman
Round 2 - Gerrod Holliman
Round 2 - Eric Kendricks
Round 3 - Josh Shaw or Eric Rowe
Round 4 - Corey Robinson
Round 5 - J.T. Surratt
Round 6 - Michael Dyer
Round 7 - Devin Smith
 
Anything in top 20 would get an extra 4th round pick most likely.
