The Jags believed their offense didn’t need much upgrading

The Jags only drafted two offensive players (Shenault and Ben Bartch) in the top-4 rounds and it left fans puzzled because many felt Gardner Minshew II needed more around him. However, the Jags continued the trend of showing that they are comfortable with the offensive players they have for the most part.

Prior to the draft Caldwell said he liked the Jags offensive line on several occasions and that he basically felt they could have a better showing in 2020. He also displayed his confidence in the returning offensive group from 2019 and the offensive additions made prior to the draft (like Tyler Eifert) when asked why the Jags went all defense in Round 1.

Ultimately, time will tell if Caldwell was right to trust an offensive group that didn’t look overly impressive last year and didn’t receive a lot of new additions. However, if he guessed wrong and the Jags’ offense struggles to put up points, it could cost someone their job as Shad Khan has been very patient to this point.
