Are we ok at DT heading into 2016?

Quote:When you look at our defense their really is a lot of holes or unknowns. If Marks comes back 100% then we are "OK", but if not and we have Miller and Odrick our pass rush woes will likely continue. Corner is kind of meh outside of House, maybe Colvin and MCrray can make their leap next year and we get lucky. Safety is a tough area to judge too. Maybe Sample can contribute, but Cyp has had some pretty awful games in his short career. Linebacker is OK though, but nothing great outside of Telvin and an aging Poz. So the way I see it is, anything we get at all on defense should go a long way in improving the unit as a whole. 
 

 

I'm not so worried about Odrick. His main responsibility is to contain his edge and stuff the run, and he did that well. In this scheme his strongside DE is very much like a 3-4 DE, and yet Odrck also led the Jaguars DL in sacks last year. I feel he's doing a fine job in role that's simply not very glamorous. Meanwhile, Miller did a fine job last year. I was down on him hard after the Bucs stellar RB Doug Martin ran all over the Jaguars, but he rebounded nicely, and Marks should be back on track in year two after his ACL as is the case with most players having suffered the injury. The Jaguars just need to figure out their LEO spot, and maybe find some better depth. Really the only decent backup DL they have is Abry Jones. The others, including Alualu, can all be replaced with the right player.


 

From an overall DL perspective, the team will look to keep 9 to 10 DLs. The definite keepers as I see it are Marks, Miller, Fowler, Odrick and Jones leaving 4 to 5 spots. These include a backup strong DE as in Alualu or his replacement, one or two more backup DTs with Bennett at least competing here, and 2 or 3 LEOs alongside Fowler. Branch can walk, and Clemons will have to earn a spot this offseason if he sticks. Ryan Davis probably takes a LEO spot unless they put him at strong DE.
