5. Defensive line help

With the potential of Ngakoue being traded and Marcell Dareus’ contract option not being picked up, the Jags undoubtedly need help in the defensive trenches. Add in the fact that Calais Campbell isn’t getting any younger and it appears they really could use some help in the interior more than on the outside (which is still a concerning need, too).

One of the most mocked players to the Jags with their first pick is Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown, and rightfully so. He’d be a tremendous help for them as they need a space-eater in the middle. When Dareus was placed on injured reserve, the Jags were gashed up the middle with the run and Brown certainly would help address that issue.

South Carolina Javon Kinlaw is another name that many surround the Jags like and could see in black and teal. There are also players like DaVon Hamilton, Leki Fotu, and Rashad Lawrence who will be available outside of round-one if the Jags want to patch up their concerning run defense.

This is also an area that the Jags could address in free-agency. Some names we looked at earlier include veteran defensive tackles D.J. Reader, Andrew Billings, and Javon Hargrave, each of whom the Jags could fit into their salary cap as individuals.
