The Jags are very stout on D. Can't believe that hung 45 on the Steelers at home.
Which is why I have them going. Brady will spread them out and Gronk will have a day but man Jax is legit.

I'm thinking QB, IOL, or ILN...

Edge Defender, Hendrickson/Okafor opposite Cam is rock solid; Onyemata and Rankins in a pinch...

Now Defensive Interior, we've got some challenges there; Vita Vea might solve and even get that pocket crushed...

I think losing Okafor showed us that side is far from solid.

But I will agree we need another inside force.

Round 1

Rashaan Evans ILB/OLB Alabama 6021 232 4.73 #32 Sr
Harrison covers tons of ground and create turnovers.

Josh Jackson CB/WR/FS Iowa 6012 185 4.50 #15 rJr
an athletic tall and long arm one year wonder play maker

Mason Rudolph, QB Oklahoma State 6036 235 4.77 #2 Sr
A big, athletic and talented, but needs more polish and consistency.

Rashaan Evans ILB/OLB Alabama 6021 232 4.73 #32 Sr
athletic physical and versatile linebacker

Sam Hubbard SDE OSU 6045 265 4.86 #6 rJr
A big solid all around DE

Christian Kirk WR/KR/PR Texas A&M* 5106 200 4.39 #3 Jr
Electric.

Dante Booker OLB/ILB Ohio State 6021 233 4.62 #33 Sr
Solid LB prospect

Da’Ron Payne DL Alabama 6012 308 5.38 #94 Jr
No one impressed me as the season went on than this guy

Malik Jefferson MLB/OLB Texas* 6015 238 4.57 #46 Jr
rare range and explosiveness for his size. Yet another read and react LB limited upside?

Tarvarus McFadden CB Florida State* 6012 198 4.49 #4 Jr
It is all there like Malik Jefferson but no one feared him.

I'm still high on Sam Hubbard - he's very much like Will Smith...

But Okafor and Hendrickson get healthier, stronger with Cam and maybe Rankins, Okafor gives us over five men to man the defensive end position...

We really need a guy who can forklift in the middle and Rankins and Davison just are not collapsing pockets, shutting down the inside...

Payne would be great, but we've been down this road before where Bama Interior Linemen fall to the second round...

Now if Vita Vea really is the next Ngata, I think you've gotta look at him; as of now, he's there, but the next three months, we know things'll change...

Watching PJ Williams getting beat like a snare drum the last few weeks makes me believe that we will draft another CB. Having 3 solid ones (see Jacksonville) can really benefit a defense.

Maybe this is the season a healthy Delvin Breaux shows his worth on D, no?

I just realized that lost in the attention Lattimore and Crawley have received is the fact that this essentially was PJ’s rookie season because he finally stayed healthy. He’s a fine back-up to play on the outside but nickel just doesn’t suit him.

We need a bonafide nickel CB. Someone like Nickell Robey-Coleman or Aaron Colvin will be available in free agency.

Who are some good options in the draft? Maybe Mike Hughes (UCF) or Mark Fields (Clemson)?

Mark Fields? "Now there's a name I haven't heard in a very long time."

Nice options.

From the collegiate ranks, I like cornerback Michael Jackson from the U. 6'1, thick frame and can run.
Or Jaire Alexander of Louisville
Ohio St Denzel Ward... possibly nickle backs at the next level.

Tremaine Edmunds*, OLB, Virginia Tech
Height: 6-5. Weight: 236.
Projected 40 Time: 4.71.
Projected Round (2018): 1-3
Just hadn't seen any VA Tech games to have insight. Chris, is he a MIKE or SAM? Where would that put Anzalone ?

Hmm ...
