Top Three Needs
1 – Cornerback
Jaguars decision-makers are concerned about cornerback depth, particularly with expiring contracts and inconsistent performances from players like Greg Newsome and Montaric Brown. They might look to add depth while considering a shift for Travis Hunter to a more prominent defensive role.
2 – Linebacker
Pending free agency could leave a gap at linebacker, especially with Devin Lloyd likely to test the market after an All-Pro season. The team may also consider cutting costs with veteran Foyesade Oluokun due to salary concerns.
3 – Defensive Tackle
The Jaguars need reinforcements at defensive tackle, especially with potential cap cuts to veterans like Arik Armstead and DaVon Hamilton, despite their strong contributions last season.
One Big Question
What’s the plan for Travis Hunter in Year 2? Head Coach Liam Coen and GM James Gladstone face scrutiny over Hunter’s role, as they aim to transition him primarily to cornerback while maintaining some offensive responsibilities. After a modest first season, expectations remain high for his development as a two-way player.
