Looking at the #'s, I was quite shocked to see how productive our pass rush was last year when you combine hurries and sacks. It's smart to combine both #'s as sacks aren't everything, the old saying goes sacks end drives while hurries (theoretically) lead to interceptions, another one is "disruption is production". This defensive line was quite disruptive last year if you factor in both #'s, with Dante Fowler (surprisingly) combining for a total of 24 sack/hurries. Given he only played 570 snaps that number is quite impressive, especially considering he was essentially a rookie returning from an ACL.


Now this is not to say the Jaguars shouldn't target a player like JPP in feee agency, but (given this data) I wouldn't be shocked if we don't make signing an edge rusher a focal point. I expect our FA priorities in the following order;


1. OG- targets include Kevin Zeitler, TJ Lang, Ronald Leary, and possibly Larry Warford


2. CB- targets include AJ Bouye, Trumaine Johnson, Stephen Gilmore, Logan Ryan, Morris Claiborne


3. RT- targets include Rick Wagner (the Jags should make signing him a priority as he's a clear upgrade over JP)


4. Edge- targets include JPP, Mario Addison, Nick Perry, and Jabaal Sheard.
