To play Devil's Advocate using your No Rookie behind a shaky OL...what would you call the Jags OL right now? 

We have Robinson/Linder as locks....Parnell has done great this year but is injured...Cann has been really iffy...Omameh hurt/FA next year.  We basically have 2 huge holes at OG and possibly RT as well.  Best case scenario...Robinson//??//Shatley//Linder//Parnell.   We still have a hole at LG but realistically we have hole at both OG as Linder will probably stick at Center.

To go from the 20's to #5-#8 we would probably need to give up this years 1st/2nd and next year's 1st at a minimum...Chiefs gave up #27/3rd rounder/next year's 1st to go up to #10 last year.

How so? They won't get McCown for free. 

Right now, I would call the Jaguars O-Line decent. I like what Robinson has done at LT, Omameh has been better than expected when healthy, Linder is solid, Cann needs to be replaced and Parnell is good enough to get us through another season. No reason to create a need at RT, when he's been playing well. 

I know what it would take to move up into the top 10 and I'm still 110% behind the move. I'm normally totally against trading up, but the need for a true franchise QB trumps that, especially when a QB is one of the last missing pieces in a complete team.

You had the Jags "signing" him in your hypo...figured the Browns could as well.

If we could move up and get Rosen/Rudolph/Jackson I'd be all for it I just think they will get taken by teams before we can trade up.  I like Mayfield a lot but I would prefer to see if he fell rather than giving up the draft to take him alone.

If he falls...great...if not take the best OL/WR/TE and shoot for one of the Finley/Ferguson/etc in the 2nd...

I just think we don't need a QB to carry us and while a Franchise QB would be amazing I'd rather build up the OL/TE/WR corps then trade the farm for the #4 QB off the board.
