The Jags should still be building their defense around the passing downs , Simmons is as good as a LB pick as you can ever get with that. The run defense issues is more about A) Dline still has no counter to doubles inside B) The defensive staff get out coached and out schemed a lot of the time and C) The LBs lacked any kind of diagnosis skills with minimal instinct for the run game.

You aren't solving B until everyone is fired. You may not solve C either
with Simmons but he's extremely good diagnosis wise to at help out what Myles lacks eventually.

Remember we aren't drafting for this upcoming season, we are drafting for what our team will look like in 2021, 2022, 2023 etc etc

Jack was a damn good SAM and was snubbed for a Pro Bowl spot in 17.  He was a play maker and had a 3 or 4 game stretch where he created a turnover and much better againstthe tun when playing outside.    We are drafting for 2020 and ever other year after.  You are probably in tank mode already but with a good draft and some smart FA moves and cuts we can be back in the playoffs especially with a full training camp for Mishew as the startepkapkahed

He played mike around 65+% of the time. He was v good because of how good his coverage was on passing downs not because he was killing it as a sam the other 30% of the time. He was a mike who occasionally played sam in 2017. 
The reason you don't draft for 2020 is because rookies should never be counted on to be impact players year 1 and this roster is two off seasons away from being competitive enough for the playoffs + the coaching is terrible outside of Gruden. The optimum build is to try form the most talented team we can in the following years vs seeing who can just plug holes this year
