The Jags had the #1 overall defense in 2017 and got carved up in the AFC Champ game against the Pats...

We just saw the Bills (#1 defense in the league) give up a filed goal from the opponents 25 yard line with 13 seconds left.

It's an offensive league.  I'm not saying defense is not important but offense should be priority in about every scenario these days.   It isn't like the best defensive end in this draft is miles better than the best offensive linemen.  I think QB protection is more important to help this young QB.  

There is no generational talent Like a Bosa, Watt, Garret, etc.

The team would be best suited to build around Lawrence so we can really see if he is the franchise guy.  

Ideally I would like to trade out to around the 10th spot and get the best WR in the draft.  If stick to #1 overall, then take the best offensive linemen and do not look back.

Yes, they are. Outside of Tyler Linderbaum, (the best O-Lineman in this draft), the OT's are garbage and you don't spend high first round picks on OG's. 

Maybe Thibodeaux and Hutchinson aren't generational talents, but I'd take either one of them and many other players over any OT in this draft. It's a very bad OT class. You always take the BAP. The best O-Lineman is Linderbaum and he may not be taken in the top 5-10 players. That would be reaching.

I saw Mahomes standing behind the LOS for 4+ Seconds,  I saw Stafford having plenty of time,

Protect the QB and Effect the QB are the most important elements in football.

We have a Young rookie QB with an offensive line that is shakey at best.   I say Protect the QB is more important.

There is no bosa in this draft

There's certainly no Trent Williams, David Bakhtiari, Ryan Ramczyk or Tristan Wirf in this draft either.
