I don't know enough about the prospects to comment on specific players, but below are the positions (in order) that I think we would prefer in the first round:

 

1.  Offensive Tackle - I think Joeckel is gone next year.  Beachum is ok, but I think the team tries to draft its left tackle of the future and move Beachum to backup.  I would note too that quality left tackles usually aren't made available in free agency, so that leaves the draft for this position.

 

2.  Offensive Guard/Center - I put it behind offensive tackle because interior linemen are much easier to find.  They often drop into the second or third round or even later in the draft.  They can also be found cheaper in free agency.  That being said, it is one of the few huge needs for the team.

 

3.  Strong Safety - Pretty much ditto above.  I think the team will want to upgrade Cyprien, but safeties aren't as highly valued in the NFL as other positions and sometimes slide down draft boards.  They can also be found easier in free agency.

 

4.  Middle Linebacker - Posluszny is getting old.  We need to find his replacement for the future.

 

5.  Otto - The Jaguars are getting a very talented roster.  While Skuta is ok, it's a position that the Jaguars might be looking to upgrade.  I would note that the otto only plays about 40% of the time, so this position isn't as important as some others.

 

My best guess is that they get an interior offensive lineman and strong safety in free agency and then go offensive tackle, middle linebacker and otto in the first three rounds of the draft.  We have existing players at tackle and linebacker that can play early in the season if the rookies need some time to develop.  We need starters right away on the line and strong safety (assuming Cyprien is gone) so free agency works better.  

 

That's my plan!
