Now that the franchise players have been identified, we have a better idea who the Jaguars might pursue. Let's say they can sign any two players in free agency regardless of price. Who would you choose? Follow that up with two not so expensive guys and your top 2 draft picks. My choices

are:

 

Top tier:

 

1. Olivier Vernon- Leo to pair with Fowler

2. Eric Weddle or Tashon Gipson- Weddle more reliable, but Gipson much younger. Either one works.

 

2nd tier:

 

1. Jeff Allen- Less money than Osemele. Looks just as versatile and allows Linder or Cann to move to center.

2. Chris Ivory- Jags rumored to be looking for someone to complement Yeldon. Won't cost as much as Martin or Miller.

 

Draft:

 

Round 1- Myles Jack: Thought about Irvin in free agency, but pair Jack with Smith and our linebacking corps is set with Poz in middle.

                                    If Dallas ruins this by taking Jack, go with Ramsay or Bosa. Ramsay will play corner. Bosa would be fine since you

                                    can't have too many pass rushers.

 

Round 2-  William Jackson/Kendall Fuller/MacKenzie Alexander- One of these 3 will be there. I know most have Alexander in the 1st, but some

                                     have him dropping due to lack of interceptions and cocky attitude ( I like that in cornerback). Would rather take one of

                                     these than Janoris Jenkins since we will probably only take 2 top tier guys and corner not as great a need as safety.

 

This scenario fixes our 2 greatest areas of weakness- pass rush and free safety. We also improve our offensive line, cornerback, linebacker and running back positions significantly and should have enough money left to re-do Robinson and Hurns' contracts.

Don't think Bruce Irvin is going to get paid like a 2nd tier FA. 9.5-10M+ per year I'd consider a 1st tier. But if we could seriously land all three of those, you won't see me complaining. Just don't see it happening with all the other teams with huge cap space like the Raiders.

 

Tier 1:

 

Bruce Irvin

Tashaun Gipson


Tier 2:

 

Jeff Allen

Robert Ayers

 

Rd 1:

 

Jalen Ramsey


Rd 2:

 

Jonathan Bullard

 

I'd be pretty happy with someone to shake out like this. I think the most we can expect is to get about 2 really good FA pieces and a couple solid guys. Just too much cap room floating around to expect anything more. I'm a bit worried things shake up like last year and we maybe land a guy like Irvin/Vernon/Mario, but can't do a ton else besides maybe a really solid piece or two along with depth FA's.

I think that might no be a worry this year. The free agents we appear to want to target this year are players that are ready to move on from their current teams. The money may actually work well for us this year lol.

Yeah for sure, but like everyone has been saying, this is uncharted territory with how many teams have cap and just how much of it is out there. There's a LOT of teams with money to spend. To expect us to be able to come down with 3 of the best ones with there is probably 20+ other teams with a lot of cap I think would be kind of unlikely. Hope i'm wrong, we have a ton of it and can afford to spend it. No one should worry about spending too much, there is no way we spend so much to where we can't afford our guys next offseason. We'd have to do something ridiculously stupid to get there.

I've been hearing Gipson may be in the 2nd tier category. So...

Vernon

Irvin


Tier 2


Gipson

Trevethan

Jack

Ogbah or Dodd

I think Trevethan is a damn near lock to go to Chicago unfortunately...

Y'all are very generous with what you're considering mid tier free agents...

Hmm...


Mario Williams

Alex Mack


Sean Smith

Bruce Irvin


Vernon Hargeaves III

Karl Joseph

I think we need a definition of 2nd tier...

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

I think we need a definition of 2nd tier...

This.

 

How is Irvin, Sean Smith, Gipson, etc. 2nd tier FA's?

---

Second tier is going to be different for everyone, especially without any list or clear definition.


In my opinion, second tier are players that aren't superstars and won't be paid top 5 money.

---

Second tier would be Davon house and Skuta type guys.


First tier is Odrick Parnell Thomas. Guys who get signed the first couple of days.

Top Tier:

Olivier Vernon

Bruce Irvin

 

Tier two:

Walter Thurmond

Ramon Foster

 

Draft:

Jalen Ramsey

Vernon Butler
