I do agree we should get younger on defense but I'm realizing that our offense needs all the help. We are in a prime position to get an AJ Green type player in White coupled with the young guys from last year and Thomas. As much as I am a football purist, I have realized the game has changed. There used to be a time when a great defense could carry a poor offense but now it changed. If you cannot score 24-30 points consistently then you will not compete much in this league anymore. Plus our Leo depth is pretty full. People are saying we shouldn't draft o-line because we should give them a chance to develop. Well we do have 3 guys behind Clemons who are all under 27. I think we should see who emerges from that group before we start drafting replacements there. 

 

Drafting a White gives us a legit 1 to take the top off the defense. The jags haven't had that player since J-Smooth left and we have never had a Moss caliber player in our building ever. Add Thomas to the that, now the young guys like Robinson and Lee can work underneath and play more like their style receiver. 

 

Defense is not the problem. Offense is:

 

2014 ppg - 15.6

2013 ppg - 15.4

2012 ppg - 15.9

2011 ppg - 15.2

2010 ppg - 22.1 (last time we had a .500 record)

 

 

It is long over due to get some offensive talent in here. I could see Caldwell doing the same thing as last year, go offense in the top 2-3 rounds then defense 4-7 for guys who can be developed over a years time. Then the following year focus on defense in the top of the draft. 

 

To win in this league you have to score points. Its changed now. Not saying defense isn't relevant anymore because it is. But teams aren't being held to 10 points anymore. Holding teams to 20 points now is pretty good. Getting better at creating offensive yards and TD's should be our primary focus this draft.
