Yeah, it’ll be a mess of a transition if it happens. Kind of exciting though! I didn’t think of Mosley, he could be a good fit. Mincey probably has the size, but I just don’t see him filling the role well. I’ve been severely underwhelmed by his play this season (and let’s be honest, eight sacks last year really isn’t “elite” either).

Well, that’s kinda the point. This has the looks of a blow up.
DE — Alualu, Mosley could play, I had read somewhere that Lane was around 280 or so, so maybe lane or Selvie, I thought Mincey was around 280, but he may not fit.
NT – Knighton could work there.
OLB – Branch, Chick as rush backers, Smith
ILB – Allen, Poz — Poz wasn’t terrible in Buffalo, just wasn’t great, he can play interior LB at a above average level, in that I have no doubt.
Secondary — everyone, BUT, I think the Jags would have to start playing more press coverage to get rid of the underneath stuff and give the pass rush a little more time to get to the QB.

I did mention Joeckel, but I digress. Warmack is a guard and a highly thought of guard to boot. Guards are not worth the #2 overall pick. Yes, I understand that the Jaguars need to improve the OL, I thought they should have improved it somehow last year, but we are where we are. The Jags need a C heir apparent, a RT to push Bradfield or take over, and another guard for depth, starting potential.
Best case scenario, Rackley comes back healthy and with 2.5 years of NFL training under his belt, he becomes a solid starter and stays healthy. Nwaneri plays well, Britton starts playing better and pushes Bradfield, Brewster recovers and continues to progress and takes over for Meester, and Monroe continues to play well.
Worst case scenario, Rackley never progressed, Britton leaves in Free Agency, Bradfield regresses, Meester retires, and Brewster plays like he was a UDFA.
I think there is a high probability that the Jaguars take an OL during the draft, but it needs to match talent level/ceiling to draft position.
