What makes our offense better in 2018? An average TE or an average right guard?  

On the surface you might say another decent big bodied receiver type TE would help Blake out even more. Gives him more options in the middle of the field.  If they can block a bit it would increase our ability to attack other teams from different personnel groups.

For the guard you might say having an average right guard would exponentially increase our effectiveness in the run (important) and in the pass. We gave up most out sacks inside last year. Having a *complete* line might be the best way to make our style continue to work.

In terms of impact you could argue both sides very well.

I don't like the "average" assumption here. 

In theory - you'd better be able to land a guard at #29 that can play a little better than just "average" out of the gate. 

For a TE that may be a bit bigger of an ask in year one. 
Maybe not in the Jags system however, where a rookie TE#2 could conceivably have his role tailored to his strengths a bit.
