Drafting a DT is playing it safe when Lamar Jackson is still on the board.

Bruh, the Ravens themselves drafted Hayden Hurst ahead of Lamar Jackson.  He was a polarizing prospect and a bad example for your point.  

Taven was safe in that he was chosen right where he was projected by most, and he was a gamble in that he was very raw with limited experience. 

If the Jags don't draft a QB early it's not because they are playing it safe, it's because they are playing it patient with the development of a promising rookie.  There really are very few "safe" picks in the draft IMO.  The number of highly touted prospects that don't pan out is pretty high. 

Now if you just want to make a case for drafting QB despite having a second year guy who set some impressive rookie milestones and a third year guy you gave up a 5th round pick for, then that's another thing.  I don't personally want to risk redundancy prior to evaluation but I get why some folks are OK with that. 
I'd build around the current QB roster and plan to use extra draft capital in 2021 if 2020 doesn't yield adequate QB play.
