Today (2-12-15) Pete Prisco issued an article at cbssports.com/nfl entitiled, "2015 NFL Free Agency - Five Under The Radar Free Agents To Watch"

 

Interestingly, while Pete is a national sports writer for CBS Sports, he sort of has Jaguar connections, so when two on his list of five happen to play ORT and FS, well, perhaps I am reading too much into it, but I think he is talking to the Jaguars or at least Jaguar Nation.

 

The two guys that he lists as under the radar are:

 

Joseph Barksdale - ORT - Rams 

 

Pete describes him as solid. He plays in a ZBS and while he has problems with speed rushers so do most ORTs. If Bulaga does not make it to the market or the Jags decide not to overspend on the ORT spot, then it seems reasonable that Joe Barksdale will be a considered as a candidate to sign in Free Agency.

 

Barksdale's name has been out there and because he had a poor rating on ProFootballFocus, his signing as sort of been poo-pooed, but I think he is someone I think the Jags have on their list, because of his age, and his ability.

 

Ron Parker - FS - Chiefs

 

Some have him listed as a SS and he has played some SS. He is a former CB that was converted to Safety and he did well for the Chiefs. He seems to know how to tackle and he has some range. He is not Devin McCourty but again he may be the type of upgrade the Jags are looking for and someone we as fans may need to investigate further.

 

Thoughts?
