A solid performance from their last two draft classes

Minshew isn’t the only player the Jags recently drafted who needs to step up. Doug Marrone also needs their 2019-20 class to come up big.

While Marrone and Caldwell may not have to make the playoffs, they probably can’t afford to have the same win total from last year. If they are going to register a seven-win season or more, they need their 2019 class to replicate their initial success. That includes Minshew, Josh Allen, and Jawaan Taylor (who had solid seasons) as well as tight end Josh Oliver, who barely played.

The Jags will also need a lot of help from their 2020 class. As previously mentioned, Wash will be utilizing new defensive concepts and will do so with multiple rookies on the defensive side.

The Jags selected cornerback C.J. Henderson, edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson, and defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton in the top-3 rounds. Henderson will almost certainly start while Chaisson and Hamilton will at least see significant snaps.

If you take away the contributions the 2019 class made from last year, there is no way the Jags get six wins. The same can be said about the Jags getting seven wins this season, but the 2020 class is going to need help from last year’s class, too.
