Jacksonville Jaguars

Top Needs: QB, RB, TE, IOL, OT

The Jacksonville Jaguars are a budding juggernaut on defense but need to develop a little more consistency on the other side of the ball. The biggest issues are on offense, where quarterback Blake Bortles tanked them to 27th in combined Passing NEP per drop back, and running back T.J. Yeldon led the 4th-worst backfield Total NEP per play.

Tight end is a problem spot -- ranking 29th in Reception NEP per target -- and they just traded Julius Thomas away. Ben Koyack is not the future of that position if they want the passing game to thrive. The offensive line is also in shambles, ranking 31st in Rushing Success Rate and 25th in Sack NEP. They need guards, tackles, the whole deal down there, despite left tackle Branden Albert's arrival in a trade.
