Offseason additions

The Jaguars have struggled for many years to develop a talented roster. This year, the Jaguars had one of the best drafts of any team. Not only did they land Jalen Ramsey in the first round, but they also picked up several other great players. The Jaguars had a lot of holes on their team, but they have several things going in their favor this year.

  • New free agents
  • Quality draft picks
  • Players returning from injury

The Jaguars are in one of the worst divisions in the NFL.

If they can continue to improve, they have a really good chance of winning the division. The Texans are in rebuilding mode, and the Tennessee Titans are still probably two seasons away from competing for the division title. The time is now for the Jaguars to make a move, and they did several great things this offseason to help in this area.

Jalen Ramsey

As a safety/cornerback out of Florida State, Jalen Ramsey was considered one of the most talented people in the past draft. The Jaguars did not think they would have the option to pick Ramsey based on their draft position. This was a huge pickup for them for several reasons.

Ramsey has a ton of NFL potential, and he also plays with a high football IQ. Over the long term, he could be a great player for the Jaguars. Fans of the team should be really happy with this draft pick.

Injuries

Dominique Easley was a great pick last year. However, he was injured early in camp and never got to play in his rookie season. This is a great player returning from injury for the Jaguars. If he can live up to the hype, the defense will only be improved from last year. This team has all of the pieces to compete for a championship in the future. A solid quarterback, great defense, and talent all over the field. If they can simply stay away from injuries, the sky is the limit for this team. 

Future plans

The Jaguars need to strike while the rest of the division is down.

With Mariota coming on strong, the Titans are not going to be a doormat forever. Fans know that they have a talented team, and many people are expecting to compete for the division this year. If the team does not make the playoffs again, many fans are going to be disappointed.
