You don't draft a guy to help out, especially on the offensive line. You draft a guy to build for the future. If you're hoping to instantly fix a position with a draft pick, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

RT is an important position to fill.  I think you'll see the Jags sign a player in free agency, such as Bulaga, Free, or Newton.  Effective right tackles can be signed reasonably in free agency.

why wouldn't you draft a guy to help out at a needed position?  and why wouldn't that help build our franchise?  our franchise like it or not is bortles so I would rather help him out than take a flier on a pass rusher.  hell we could lead the league in sacks next year but if blake doesn't progress we are still drafting early. we are not in the position as a franchise to draft best available player.  we have definite needs.

Barksdale is the person who I think they will target. Bulaga I think will stay. Free will be a lot but Barksdale is really good and he will be a little cheaper than the others. Leaving that extra money to throw at Cobb!

Because in their first year that rookie is more likely to be a liability than a help? Especially on the offensive line, where we've already seen the result of too much inexperience at one time.
