My current mock offseason for the Jags as of New Years' Eve.

 

Free Agency: I think we make a major splash this year.

 

Let Cecil and Marcedes go. Extend Poz like he wants, re-sign Ball, Tyson, and Geno.

 

LEO Jason Pierre-Paul - Originally I was against the idea of this guy but I think we should make a serious play for him if available. He fits the LEO to a T, and Clemons, Branch, Davis, and JPP make for a fearsome rotation. If we get him it would be great in terms of freeing up our draft.

 

WR Randall Cobb - A more consistent version of Cecil Shorts who will provide veteran leadership for a young offense and a reliable target for Mr. Blake. NOTE If Blackmon comes back I think this will instead be a FS, probably Moore

 

TE Julius Thomas  - Denver can't keep everyone around, folks. I think they'll have to choose between Thomas and Moore this offseason and they'll keep Moore believing (rightly so) that Peyton can make do with anyone at TE. That will be fine for us, as Thomas outclasses Marcedes in every single category.

 

OT Bryan Bulaga - I think this one is the most dicey out of all these signings but also probably the most important. We need a veteran with talent to anchor opposite Luke, and this guy is young and ascending.

 

Draft: A focus on getting younger on defense.

 

Round 1 - Leonard Williams, DL, USC - I haven't scouted him yet ( draftbreakdown needs to hurry up) but from everything that's out there this guy looks to be on the same level as a McCoy or a Richardson. We could play him at Miller's, Marks', or Red's spot and let him wreak havoc. Think of a pass-rushing front for third downs that features JPP, Marks, Williams, and Clemons. That's top five in the league. I think this guy has a chance to be special.

 

Round 2 - Denzel Perryman, LB, Miami - One of my personal favorites. My second highest rated player thus far (keep in mind I've only really done less than ten guys), I think he will drop due to size concerns and positional devaluation. Make no mistake, though, when he's on the field he's dominant. He's got low 4.5 speed, acceleration, and hits like a train. His kind of explosiveness can't be kept to the bench for long. I think we could start him at OTTO from day one due to his full package of coverage, pass-rush, and run stuffing ability. He could stay there long-term or switch to middle if Poz becomes unavailable. If he and Telvin are on the field at the same time, we immediately have one of the most athletic LB corps in the NFL.

 

Round 3 - Kurtis Drummond, FS, Michigan State - This might seem a little high for this guy now, but I think he'll have a productive offseason as teams marvel at his speed and size at the combine, while he also will participate (possibly for us?) at the Senior Bowl. He's had a down year due to a lack of talent around him, but I think with the right scheme and situation he could return to his ballhawking form of a year ago.

 

I'm not gonna pretend I know how the latter-round picks will go, but I could forsee our 2015 playoff-bound lineup looking something like this:

 

QB: Bortles

RB: Toby (came on strong at the end this year) and Denard splitting carries, followed by Todman with Storm on the PS

FB: Big Will

TE: Julius Thomas, Clay Harbor

WR: Cobb, AR15, Lee, Hurns (In no particular order), with Sanders spelling them. If Blackmon comes back Sanders gets the boot and this unit is top 5 in the league.

LT:Joeckel

LG: Beadles

C: Bowanko

RG: Linder

RT: Bulaga

 

(Keep in mind for the defensive line we would be rotation-heavy)

LEO: JPP, Clemons, Branch, Davis

3T: Marks, Williams, Davis

Nose: Miller, Williams, Red

5T: Williams, Red, Tyson

OTTO: Perryman, Hayes

MLB: Poz, Perryman

Will: Telvin, Hayes

CB: D-Mac and Colvin on the outside with Gratz in the slot

SS: Cyp

FS: Drummond (or Moore if Blackmon comes back)
