Can Jags fill all holes in FA and draft?

#1

Or will the team need to sign some cheaper 1 year stop gap players?


I leave it to you to decide how many "holes" the Jags have and where.

For a price, they'll be able to fill all the holes they need to this offseason. Tom has indicated they will be aggressive in the hole filling department, so it should make for quite a hole filled off-season

As of today, I see our holes being OG, Safety, and CB.   We can always use more pass rush, but the real HOLES are at the 3 aforementioned positions in my opinion. 

 

Yes, I think we could fill all 3 holes in free agency and the draft.  Free agent offensive guard, first round safety, second round CB.

The Jags will have no problem, IMO, to fill the position high needs in free agency and the draft.

They'll fill most but stop-gap a few.

With the imminent signing of Church, the Jaguars greatest needs are:

 

1. Offensive line

2. Cornerback

3. Running back

4. Tight end

5. Defensive line

 

I believe they can fill each of these needs between free agency and the draft, although it will be tough. Ideally, this how they do it:

 

Free agents:

 

1. Zeitler

2. Bouye

 

Make both these guys offers they can't refuse. Tired of always having a top 3 salary cap amount and not winning.

 

Draft:

 

Rd. 1 . Solomon Thomas or Jonathan Allen

Rd. 2 . Joe Mixon or Alvin Kamara

Rd. 3   Taylor Moton

Rd. 4   Adam Shaheen

 

In my opinion, the one other guy I might have to go for is Tabor in the 2nd round. His poor combine should drop him to the 2nd round and I have a feeling he will turn out to be the steal of the draft if this happens. If they don't land Bouye, I'd take Tabor and then hope Mixon or Kamara fall to the 3rd round.

Needs remaining:

OG

CB

RB

TE


Depth/ competition needed:

T

SLB

S

OG


I think we go: OG and CB in free agency tonight and adress the others as best we can in the draft or Lower teir FA.


Not necessarily free agency related, but I hope they are able to lock up Telvin Robinson and Linder before the season starts. That way if Blake actually turns it around we can tag him without losing any major pieces.

yes

 

but will they?

 

 

IF they get Campbell, Bouye, Church, and Zietler they've almost done it in FA alone...

we could then draft (in no particular order) RB, OT, FS, mid round QB, TE, depth in the later rounds..

 

 

it's possible...

 

IF all those FAs pan out

and our first rounders from the past couple seasons play UP to their potential.

I think Church is a stop gap signing as well...

Campbell is a high priced stop gap... but his veteran presence and what's left in the tank will help...

 

So far the news and rumors I've heard are smart decisions.

Couple bright stars, couple solid stop gap vets, draft and develop.

Well. They've filled three so far today. Church isn't elite but he's no slouch. By all accounts he's an upgrade over Cyprien. Campbell fits that need of where we needed a guy that could line up next to Jackson consistently and kick some [BAD WORD REMOVED]. Bouye easily fills a much needed position opposite of Ramsey. 

 

As far as the offense? I think Coughlin is playing this very smartly. This is a top heavy first round defensively. And right where we're sitting there's positions that we've just addressed. He could be getting phone calls to swap a 1st RD pick around while snatching up a 2nd RD pick or even more. So this should give us the chance to shuttle down and pick-up an offensive lineman or two and we could probably land a solid TE while we're at it.

 

This is a very good TE class. And don't be deceived completely about the offensive lineman in this class. It's not strong overall because there's not a big sore thumb or two sticking out at the premium side of the line at LT. 

 

But since we have Albert at LT we could be looking at a Lamp, Bolles, Robinson or Ramcyzk to shore up the right side of the offensive line which seemed to be the weakest side between Cann and Parnell last year.

Looks like getting a starting guard is going to be difficult

Agreed. Unless we trade down in the first round, we're gonna miss out on sure-fire starters at #35. Drafting Fournette before fixing the run blocking would be putting the cart before the horse. It just wouldn't work.
