Jaguars Assessment

I feel the Jags will draft defense first round for  the secondary, but they might get an OT. It depends on Free agency and Khalif Barnes. Remember that Barnes allowed 7.5 sacks this season.

Defense

Dump the overpaid Drayton Florence (DB). He allowed too many big plays. I like his big hits, but he gets beat

Find a DT in free agency, let the now 2nd year ends Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves develop more, Harvey finished with a great game against Baltimore. 7 tt and 2 sacks. His best game as a pro.

Secondary

Two solutions.

Move Brian Williams back to corner and draft a great safety like Taylor Mays who is listed to play either safety position. Versatility is beautiful.

Leave Brian Williams at SS and draft a CB, but if the Front Office allows, players like Dunta Robinson are scheduled to be in Free Agency

LB

I think what we have will work for this year, maybe add depth late in the draft, if the secondary can really be fixed in FA, and we got a LOT from somewhere, then i say MLB first round, but this guys will do this year.

So off-season needs defensively are starting DT, CB/SS and MLB

Offense

first decide if you want to try to work something out with Khalif Barnes (LOT). He said he does not want to be there. He played poorly this year, allowing 7.5 sacks and being apart of a line that going into week 17 had allowed the quarterback to be sacked 42 times and knocked down 121 times. Just think if we didnt have a mobile QB...

Next cut the waste of money Jerry Porter, who i hear is a terrible influence in the locker room.

But the main reason is because he had a ten million dollar signing bonus, missed three games and had officially 11 catches for 181 yds and 1 td through week 16. He was on IR for 17, probably saved some money that way.

Then cut Reggie Williams. I love Reggie's toughness for the game but he drops everything, and as a former #9 overall pick, his pay would be too much to be a backup.

Keep Dennis Northcut as a number 2, let Matt Jones be number one and Mike Walker develop. He has had a rough year this year.

Mike Walker was drafted in the third round in 2007. He missed the whole year due to a knee injury. This year he had a 100 yd game against the steelers, bruised his knee at the end and then it got infected. He finally got that fixed, was ready to come back after Thanksgiving and his dad and best friend died that week. Awful situation. I feel for the kid thats beyond rough. He only played three games after that i think, just cause it was the end of the year.

So off-season needs offensively are possibly a staring LOT, a burner at WR and depth on O-line.

this is all with me not knowing Free Agency plans. I just dont see them spending a lot of money, because they had two busts last year from Free Agency and wasted $20 million in signing bonuses. I hope Wayne Weaver can really pitch in this year. A few pretty good players here and there would set us up to only draft BAP. It would be beautiful.
