Scouting the AFC North: 3 Browns FAs Jacksonville Jaguars should target
The Jacksonville Jaguars must’ve been thrilled when they saw the Cleveland Browns make the playoffs and subsequently beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. After all, they have come a long way since finishing 0-16 in 2017 and showed that NFL teams can turn their situation around in a relatively short amount of time.
Besides changing head coaches, something the Jaguars already did when they hired Urban Meyer, the Browns also use a first overall selection to draft their franchise quarterback, Baker Mayfield. They didn’t stop there though and they have surrounded their signal-caller with playmakers and have put together a competent defense to complement their offense.
If the ‘Jags’ want to start winning on a consistent basis once again, they will have to follow Cleveland’s blueprint. They will have to take a quarterback with the top pick in this year’s draft, and they will have to give add difference-makers via free agency and the draft.
This Jacksonville team is projected to have $73 million in cap space and should be able to add a couple of top-notch players and a few more contributors in free agency. Among all the players that are set to hit the open market, the Jaguars should target these three Browns.
