Quote:  If the Jags want to replace Luke J.,  they will have the opportunity in the 2016 Draft   It could come down to drafting a LT vs. the best available Defensive player.   With Blake Bortles being the most important player the Jags have had this decade,  keeping him in one piece is a priority of the highest order for the Jaguars organization.   Of course having a better Defense puts the Offense in more favorable situations.  But a solid case can be made to take a blue chip LT prospect if the thought process of the team brass is Luke J.  won't come close to living up to his draft billing. 

 

We took a blue chip LT prospect in 2013 and he's still struggling at this point.  Maybe to the point of being bust, but it is quite possible you draft a blue chip LT prospect in this draft and wait 2-3 years while he develops as well.

 

I don't mind drafting an OT, but he better beat Luke out 100% before he gets the starting gig.
