First off I see Gus fired with another top 5 draft pick type of season. I may be wrong but with your future on the line wouldn't you try to bring in as much firepower as you could via FA? I know Dave controls the ink pen that decides the offers but he's tied to Gus as well. That was his man. I'm going out on a limb and saying the Jags are going to go heavy in FA.


My take is you have to upgrade FS. You can't rely on James Sample yet. He's not someone I'm wanting to cut but we have to sign a guy like Tashaun Gipson or Draft Ramsey for FS. We have to have a ballhawk back there.


If we do sign Gipson, Nelson, Weddle, etc I think we are not drafting Ramsey. I know he can play CB too but I don't see the Jags targeting him for that. If we sign a FS I fully expect Myles Jack to be our new LB.


To add to the list, pass rush and corners have to be upgraded. The free agent list is amazing this year to cherry pick with. I know some people blame pass rush, etc, but I'm one of the guys that say our corners are just out of place, and our scheme didn't put the defense in a position to succeed. New DC and new CBs are a must. The only CB I would keep on our roster is Aaron Colvin.


I really would like to see 2 top tier CBs brought in. Janoris Jenkins is my personal favorite. Trumaine Johnson another Ram who had 7 picks with good size (6-2). These guys would be huge upgrades. Brandon Boykin is an underrated FA too. The list is pretty impressive overall with Patrick Robinson and Casey Heyward. I would even give Morris Claiborne another chance. I think it's imperative the Jags target and sign 2 potential difference makers on the market at CB.


At DE we have a little less options, but Malik Jackson would be a personal favorite, however he fits the mold of Odrick. I see us going for 1 DE like Tamba Hali, Bruce Irvin, Nick Perry, maybe an Aldon Smith if he's cleared.


Would also pursue a DT, particularly Jaye Howard depending on money.


Jags have a ton of options in round 2/3 of the draft, still too early to tell who will be there but I've seen Robert Nkemdiche fall into the late 1. If you come out of the draft with Ramsey/Jack with Nkemdiche even from a trade up I'd be in favor of it. We need elite pass rush obviously but that may be something to pursue harder in 2017.


Let me say, I've only talked about defense because that is what I feel needs addressed. As far as O I'm confident in them and think we should bolster OL if possible but don't break the bank for anything but defense. If we can play better D the O is good enough to do some damage in the playoffs.
