A possible offseason strategy - Invest massively in the offense

#25

There are. a bunch of teams with over $50M in cap space already, not including possible cap cuts. With so many teams flush with cap space, the price of even mediocre free agents is going to be through the roof. With the "win now" edict, it's unlikely the Jags FO is going to make the hard decisions and get rid of the high-priced free agents that aren't in the long-term plans. I'm talking Norwell, Bouye, Foles, Campbell, Dareus, etc. 2020 should have been a clean-house year with DM/DC gone and all the tough cuts made in one fell swoop.

As it is, we'll probably pick up a few fading veteran players to fill some holes, but that's about it. Lower-priced positions like S, LB, TE.

I do agree with the premise of fixing the offense first, because that at least gives you some idea of how effective Minshew would be with a decent O-line and more weapons. Someone like OT Thomas and WR Lamb or Higgins in the first round, then address CB and NT in the 2nd and 3rd.

To the Jags credit, the Ramsey trade is looking like the right move. Even with Ramsey, the Jags weren't going to make the playoffs this year or next, and with the Rams on the decline next years's pick could very well be in the top 10. With another 6-10 performance likely, that would be 2 top 10 picks which could be enough draft capital to move up to the 1st overall pick. And if Minshew turns out to the man, and Khan does the right thing and first DM/DC after next season, things could actually start looking up for 2021/2022.
