GlockBortles,

 

The Jags have 61 Mil and have an Owner who is willing to spend money, so the money is not the problem.

 

Everybody pretty much agrees that ORT is the Jags No. 1 problem that had best be addressed in Free Agency. Yet, everyone wants the Jags to spend their money responsibly meaning that if the Jags are going to pay the guy he had better perform.

 

The biggest problems that the Jags faced last year was inexperience in the Coaching Staff, specifically NFL Coaching experience. When the Jags paired player inexperience with coaching inexperience the results were predictable and the product Gawd Awful.

 

Now that Gus has addressed the Coaching Experience issue by bringing in a brand new Offense Coaching group, the next step is to get the coaching to take with the players.

 

As far as addressing the ORT spot, everyone wants Brian Bulaga, and rightly so, but we both seem to agree that there is a good chance that Bulaga does not hit the market. If he does the Jags will throw a lot of money at him.

 

The next guy in line to me, is Orlando Franklin. People forget that he was drafted out of Miami as an OLT, but was playing ORT for the Broncos. He played there for 3 years from 2011 to 2013 before the Jags signed Beadles away from the Broncos.

 

If the Jags signed Orlando Franklin then there would be little need to draft another OT in the first three rounds and to me that is important.

 

If the Jags signed Doug Free then I think drafting his replacement would be a higher priority.

 

No matter what the Jags do in Free Agency and the draft the Jags will not be able to fill all the holes in this roster nor provide depth at every position. This will take at least one or two more draft classes. So all we as fans can hope for is to fill as many holes in this roster as possible so that the Jags can field a respectable team that can generate at least a 0.500 winning percentage by the end of the 2015 season.
