Here are my things jags must do from now till draft..

My list includes the draft:
  • add the best pieces available to the O-Line
  • Milanovich and Hackett must have a plan and execute it to help Bortles
  • Add a plan B at quarterback with a middle round pick or in (gulp) free agency in case Bortles melts down again 
  • Re-sign Amukamara, or a better free agent, or draft a CB in the second or third.
  • Don't overpay Cyprien. A SS with better coverage ability is an inevitable need anyway. Upgrade now or pay him a reasonable figure. He's not a long-term solution. 
  • Figure out a way to get Jack on the field more.  Whether it's taking over the Mike, playing Mike on nickel downs, or doing some hybrid SS duty  --   just get him out there more and utilize his speed. They need a plan now before addressing offseason personnel moves. 
  • Add a RB.  I'm not on the Cook/Fournette train even though they are both great.  I think Ivory/Yeldon/Grant can be good behind an improved line but they need one more chess piece in the backfield when the injury bug comes calling. I'd draft one in round 3,4, or 5. 
  • Add a FB. Probably an undrafted FA rookie or vet at minimum salary.  If they want to help Bortles with the run game they may as well have a dedicated lead blocker on the roster. 
  • One more pass rusher. I have confidence in Jackson and Ngakoue to continue getting it done and I think Fowler will contribute more in his second year, but I'm a fan of sending these guys in waves and using plenty of rotation.  Fowler may benefit from some competition too. Draft early or sign big. 
 
I agree with just about all of this. The only exception might be waiting until the mid-rounds to take a running back. There's a good chance that the BAP at pick 4 will be a running back. A guy like Fournette or Cook will really help take the pressure off Bortles and it is clear the team will stick with him at least one more season. I'm just not sure there's a pass rusher I'd trust not named Garrett in the 1st round and the safety class is extremely deep so they can get Cyprien's replacement in the 2nd round  (Baker is my choice).
