And you need an elite QB to build an elite offense around.  The Jags have that, finally.  
It would be just as valid to make receiver the #1 priority, but the Jags already made that play in FA and hit on it. RB is important to, but ETN seems to have a bright future. So for the Jags, right now, we need OL, no debate about it.

Of course Offensive Line should be a priority this off season, especially since the interior OL play limited the vertical shots/routes and the offense's ceiling.

I was just noting that devoting 2 picks to OL every year may not be wise. I would though still note that they still need to find some starters with bargain investment.

It's the "big guys early" rule, stated a different way.
There is a lot of rotation at most positions. It's common to find RB, CB, S, LB contributors in the undrafted players.
But OL doesn't rotate unless they're injured, and it's much more rare to find an OL starter that wasn't drafted.  
OL is roughly 20% of your starters, and he's just saying make them 28% of your draft picks.  It's not out of line at all.
