The draft and Free Agency are a real challenge.  So many options!

 

In FA the team re-signs Ball, Martin, and Alualu.  J T Thomas and Shorts find another team willing to pay them more than the Jaguars will.

 

FA from other teams:  LB Malcolm Smith (Super Bowl XLVIII MVP) - a salary cap casuality

                                   TE depending on availability

 

Draft:

 

Assumption - Blackmon returns to roster.  Williams is drafted #2 by Tennessee.

 

1.  DE Shane Ray Missouri - I absolutely hate drafting a DE here.  DE is the best long-term option.  This means cutting Clemons.  Cooper or an OT may be an option.  Trading back and picking up an extra selection is an option.

2.  FS Derron Smith  Fresno State

3.  ORT Daryl Williams  Oklahoma

4.  OG  John Miller  Louisville

5.  FS  Adrian Amos  Penn St - will be the backup FS with Josh Evans becoming the backup SS

6.  WR/PR  Jamison Crowder  Duke - will compete with Doss and Benn to be team's punt returner

7.  CB Jeremiah Johnson  Maryland - will replace Tommie Campbell on kickoff/punt return teams.  Campbell becomes a UFA and is replaced by a cheaper player.

 

If team is unable to re-sign Alualu, Arik Armstead in round 2 is a viable option.
