Jacksonville Jaguars

Key Draft Needs: OL, S, LB

Record: 2-12

Offensive Line – If they choose to not go after a signal caller in the upcoming draft they’ll need to improve the offensive line for whoever they draft in 2018. At this current moment, the Jaguars offensive line ranks in the middle of the pack. They’re 20th in QB hits and 19th in sacks allowed. These numbers aren’t bad and attest to just how poor Bortles has played this season. However, Joeckel has been less than sub-par, Parnell could be upgraded and Beadles is nothing spectacular. Not to mention that this unit ranks first in the yellow flags department.

Safety – The play of Tashaun Gipson has been forgettable whether that be by injury or on the field. If the Jaguars were to move Jalen Ramsey to the more natural position of free safety, then cornerback would be on this list. It will all depend on who the next coach is.

Linebacker – Myles Jack has been solid dropping back into coverage, and will hopefully get more playing time going forward. Paul Posluszny has been a very good inside linebacker, but the team can save an extraordinary amount of money if they decide to move on from the veteran. Upgrading from Dan Skuta is another area Jacksonville can focus on.
