We need: 

CB1 
NT
LT
RG
WR 
TE
FS
c.o.p. RB

you could re-order those a number of ways and it would still make sense and if Yan is traded or sits, add DE

CB1  -  Henderson  -  well-addressed
NT -  Hamilton plus the free agent signings  - fairly-well-addressed
LT  - Bartch?  - meh, somewhat addressed with an upside development guy that will likely play guard
RG -  Bartch?  He's more likely to push Cann than Robinson short term, so.... "Somewhat addressed" 
WR  - addressed  - Johnson and Shenault both have big upside and were good value at their selections
TE - Eifert was the biggest move and the sixth rounder will be a crapshoot -  "fairly-well-addressed"
FS  - Sort-of-addressed - Comes down to an UDFA with upside and a SS fifth rounder set to compete w/ Wilson
c.o.p. R-Back  -  Somewhat ddressed. Thompson signing covers 3rd down receiving and a scat-back type can still be added during camp cuts. 
DE - Well-addressed - Chaisson

Overall - it was O-Line and FS that took a back seat to other positions of need, but so far the Jags have added players to nearly every need.  Which are able to make an impact right away will be crucial to the team's success.

How is everyone feeling about needs being addressed?  
Where are we still lacking? 
Which picks were unforgivable reaches?

I think Dave took a very comprehensive approach this offseason. He gets an A alone for unloading Foles and much of his big contract. I wish he could've traded up a time or two, but he attempted to fill multiple needs by staying put. I can't fault that in retrospect given all the needs. This is a foundational rebuilding draft that will look great next year. Next year's draft will require fewer needs so the GM (Dave?) can trade up to target a handful of premium players. 

O-line is the lone remaining concern, but there's hope: it's quite possible for Bartch to displace Cann this year and be a gritty sparkplug and for Richardson to push Cam to take his game to solid start level or even capably supplant him. 

Dave probably counts Oliver as a 2020 TE draft pick since he's essentially a rookie. Someone will remain a healthy, quality TE option among the trio of Eifert, Oliver and O'Shag. They're all capable starters when healthy. 

I'm OK with not finding a blue-chip FS. Some of the early-round prospects would've been nice, but I'd rather have Shenault and Hamilton, more immediate needs. There's at least competition now for Wilson. His subpar play better not continue or a more talented, eager rookie will take over by midseason.
