RIP Duane Smoot's career. Can one mourn the loss of something that never was?

I'd guess a rotation of players to keep everyone fresh. The Jags have something of an embarrassment of riches along the DL right now with three starting-caliber tackles and three starting-caliber ends, and two of those guys can play either position. I think we'll see that depth used to keep fresh rushers coming at the QB all day.

I doubt it. This was a true BAP pick, and (hopefully?) a commitment to keeping the pass rush coming from all angles at all times.

Taven Bryan barely played while he got up to NFL speed as a rookie. Also, he's not an edge rusher, and he wasn't going to start at end this year anyway.
