Versatile safety who can also play in the slot.

Depends on whether or not JaWaan Taylor is resigned or if a better player is there at left guard. He's not a bad prospect. I just think if we're looking for more versatility defensively we can get a decent player like that later on. 

JL Skinner is a good option to have in RD3 potentially. Riley Moss, Trey Dean III in RD4. My concern is that we're potentially going into 2023 with a leaky offensive line and we'll be screaming our heads off like the Bengals fanbase has done now over the last two years for Joe Burrow's sake. 

Cam Robinson's inability to stay healthy, and, even when healthy he's been suspect at times in protection. Ben Bartch and Tyler Shatley I don't think are the answer at left guard. Luke Fortner has to get stronger over these next few months at Center. 

Brandon Scherff is a stop gap player with a history of injuries at right guard. Again, Taylor? Is he staying or going? If he's going that leaves you with Walker Little at RT which means we will ultimately need a swing tackle to help out if either starter goes down.

Oh I totally agree with what you're saying. A lot of what we do at 24 depends on what happens in FA. I think it'll be pretty evident on what the Jags will do once we see their moves in FA.

If I had to guess, Torrence is VERY high on their list.

I just like Johnsons versatility and I think he will end up being a very good safety.
