Tight End

I still contend the Jaguars would have been in a much better situation offensively if they had not lost virtually every tight end on the roster to injury at some point last season. And I also believe that given the opportunity to play a full season, James O’Shaughnessy and Josh Oliver could have helped the passing game.

Geoff Swaim might be a cap casualty. Nick O’Leary has a good chance to make the roster next season, and there are still plenty of prospects in free agency the Jaguars could choose from.

Austin Hooper and Hunter Henry should be at the top of the list. The front office could look to Eric Ebron as well. Whatever Jacksonville does this off-season, they must come away with at least one more tight end added to their roster.
