I hate what Gene Smith did to this team.  Yes Gene is to blame for how bad this roster was.

 

Does not matter because I have been a fan since '95 and continue to be one.  I take lots of flack for it but one day this team will be good again.  The big question is how long is this rebuild going to be.

 

1.  Lets say the team uses primarily the draft to build this team. The team realisticlly needs: QB, TE, Oline,Dline,RB,LB, CB and depth.  If we get lucky and find 3 good players in the next few drafts, thats going to take atleast 3 years just to aquire the players.  If you add in development time for said players we can be talking up to 5 years for this team to be a playoff contender.  That is a ton of patience for a fanbase that has already endured 5 bad years of mediocre football.

 

2.  Say the team spends money in free agency.The jaguars were close to the cap this offseason if you do not include the one time carry over.  Add to the fact that some of the veterans will not return.  I think it's unclear how much cap room this team will has this next offseason.  Signing a few players in key areas could dramatically improve this football team.
