If we don't get some off-season help, that line is going to be offensive! I realize that the actual season starts next week, but as of today our LT is Jake Curhan and our C is Nic Sumac. And yes, I had to look that up.

Best line I've seen in a LONG time!

Trading up in the 1st is almost ALWAYS a bad idea. If you make moves out of desperation, you generally get fleeced (see 2023).

This is a pretty good WR room, IMO. I can see us picking up a mid tier vet since this list is so young and drafting a WR on day 3. Your guy Eli Heidenreich piqued my interest, I haven't looked that far down the line yet. As always, we'll churn the bottom of the roster / PS with a few UDFA and other teams' cast offs. I also sincerely hope someone is willing to trade for XL. My heart has been broken (and almost my TV) by him too many times. I've lost all trust in him at this point.

His stats pasted weird, so just know that its 2025 on top, 2024 in the middle and 2023 on bottom. I keep screaming to the heavens to draft production and this guy produces! Almost 1500 scrimmage yards last year, 1100 before that, and 600 as a freshman! My favorite stat? 0 fumbles! Hell, anything in the 5th round and beyond is just best guess anyway, not much to lose and a hellova lot to win.

I fully expect (and certainly hope) that he sh!ts the bed!

Horn's 2026 cap hit is $24.4M, #13 would get about $4.4M in 2025, that's a savings of $20M. $20M in FA would do us a lot of good. That, plus 2 top 20 picks (working on your assumption that LA isn't keeping #13 and trading #29) would sure make the offseason interesting. I get a bit of a chubby thinking about Styles and Lomu in the 1st. I know that Styles is now projected to go top 10, but a boy can dream. I'd still want them to sweeten the pot, #93 this draft or #167 this year and next years 3rd. Horn is a really, really good corner, but his injury history will always worry me and his contract is huge! Cap hits of $22.7 in 2027 and $28.7 in 2028.

Mentions slot CB as a high need, not sure I agree. I thought Smith Wade was decent and we have Thornton coming back from injury who was improving a bunch. I'm never above trying to improve...just wouldn't call it s high need.

switch out Mesidor with best available tackle and I'm a big fan. I think we fill the spot across from Scourton with vet FA and draft 1 on day 3.

The XL vs Coker contest proves that production is better than potential.

FWIW, this is a good article about the conciliation prizes if we miss out on Lloyd. https://www.si.com/nfl/jaguars/onsi/jacksonville-5-free-agent-linebackers-could-target-replace-devin-lloyd

Not gonna lie... my expectations start at winning season. I would love to win the division again, maybe win a playoff game, but 9 wins is all I ask.

This is where I'm at as well. Before the playoff game it was a no brainer that we go defense in the first round; Edge, ILB, or even DT. Probably D in the 2nd round as well. Now our biggest hole, IMO, is LT. No one wants to play an entire season with BC or Yosh over there (neither are currently on the team anyway) and FA does not look promising.

Yeah, if his agent is worth a damn we're overpaying him a little, he has more value to us than any other team in the league. I'm fine with that as long as we don't overpay a lot! FWIW... his last contract was 2 year, $8M with $5M guaranteed and he just turned 30. Now that he's our by-default starting LT, he deserves a little better than that. I'd give him $6-7M per year.

JJ has career earnings of almost $17M and only gets on the field for a handful of snaps. I WAS a long snapper in HS... should have practiced harder!

That's the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this.

This is NOT the best we can do. I don't know poo about Banks, but only 1 OT has come off the board in this draft. We'd be idiots not to grab our favorite and add cheap youth to our o-line.

No hate at all if we can get a stud DT that can get after the QB. Pressure is pressure. and D. Brown is doubled every damned play!

Hell no! I don't trust anyone who doesn't eat Dukes!

Hopefully Ransom continues to develop, but he fits the mold of SS more than FS anyway. I wouldn't mind spending a draft pick on FS if the right guy is available. Certainly after round 3.

Re-signing Nijman is a good idea even if we go OT at 19. He's adequate and knows th schemes already. Would be a nice veteran presense. At ILB, I really like Deonte Lawson from AL, but he likely goes before 51 and would likely be a reach at 19.

I have the same with Sam Hecht, C Kansas State, rounding out the top 3 at 83.
