Quote:The top priorities by far during the draft and free agency are to upgrade the offensive line and find a replacement for Bortles. This team has enough talent at the other positions to win next year. It hurts a lot to accept the fact that Blake is a bust, but Caldwell needs to admit his mistake and move on. See what Allen can do and if he shows promise he can compete next year with whichever free agent they pick up. At this time, I would consider the following:

 

Free agency:

 

Cut Parnell and replace him with the best free agent right tackle available. Beachum should improve run blocking next year so starting tackles are set.

 

Draft:

 

Jags likely will be picking 2nd or 3rd . If Cleveland passes on Garrett, he is the pick. The best chance the Jaguars have to win soon is to build an elite defense since the best they can achieve at quarterback is to find a game manager who won't lose games and demoralize the rest of the team. A defense with Garrett, Yannick, Fowler (he'll get better), Jackson, Smith, Jack, Colvin, Cyprien and Gipson would be top 5 and keep the Jags competitive regardless of who they play. 

 

Take the best interior lineman in round 2 and make them an immediate starter. Either Feeney, Pocic or Elflein should be there at guard/center. 

 

A starting offensive line with Beachum, Feeney, Linder, free agent, and Cann would be a big upgrade and enable Yeldon/Ivory to find holes and make it easier for the new q.b. to succeed.

 

The remainder of the draft would add depth at linebacker, cornerback and defensive line.
