Quote:This is disappointing, but in reality I would rather see them sign Vernon. Just offer him what he can't refuse. Then go after one more elite player in the secondary- preferably Jenkins or Sean Smith. It should be easier to land one of the guards for a reasonable price and Ivory won't cost that much. If that happens, the Jags will have added two impactful defensive linemen, a starting cornerback and starting guard. The draft plan would be to hopefully find their starting safety and OTTO in the first 2 rounds. Ideally, Ramsay will be their in the first, but a combination of Jack and Karl Joseph wouldn't be too shabby either. Their horrible defense of 2015 would be replaced by:


Fowler/ Jackson/Miller/Vernon with Marks, Jones, Davis and Alualu in the rotation

Jack, Poz and Telvin Smith

Joseph and Cyprien/Sample

Jenkins and House with Colvin at the nickel


This would be 6 significant upgrades from last year which should place the defense in the top 10-15.
