2020 Offseason and the "Win-Now" Concern

#1

There were a few threads and many posts spread about the board over the months leading up to the draft that expressed worry about how the front office would approach the team's needs. 
Many expressed concern Caldwell would overpay free agents to plug a few holes and reach for needs in the draft missing value on better players in an effort to win now. 

By and large, that's just not how it has played out. 
Many needs have summarily been addressed, no doubt. But not in the fashion that many alarmists feared in February. 
Free agent acquisitions have been strategically moderate investments outside of the Schobert signing and the draft saw very little reaching while still addressing need.
 Many see the Henderson pick as a bit of a reach, but the subsequent run on cornerbacks proved it to be at least somewhat warranted.  We'll have to see him play to know if the value is truly there for #9 overall. 

Johnson, Bartch and Shenault are being heralded by most draftniks as fantastic value picks. Chaisson is considered a very good pick by most. 

I just don't see any of the predicted desperation around this offseason that fans feared and it seems clear the Jags aren't acting as if the GM and HC are in a lame duck scenario.
