I feel like Jaguars are paying the loser tax which I remember Cleveland paying a couple years back. No one will play for you unless you pay them extra.

This is pretty frustrating. Chargers, Broncos, Chiefs and Bills have all made some solid to great additions (with rumors of more to come) and they all have one thing in common: they’re in our conference… I hope we do something splashy tomorrow

OLine should be a priority, at least 2 position upgrades, i.e. swing tackle and center/guard, and not the typical Raven bargain basement selections. I can't believe the absence of Stanley was the only problem. IF they re-sign Bozeman, I hope its to play left guard, which he was good at. Get a center and a swing tackle, plug and play guys not projects

getting a good right tackle and moving Mekari to swing tackle would be an improvement in two positions. Mekari can also play the other positions on the line, so everything gets better with a good right tackle.

I would not have signed Watkins after we missed out on Juju. Should've just taken that one on the chin when everyone told us no from Juju to that dude from Colts, I forget his name atm. I'd have to go over the entire FA list and tell you.

Think you are talking about T.Y. Hilton.

you're think of ty hilton

and i dont really see what was wrong with the watkins signing - our WR corps at the point we signed him was Hollywood, Duvernay, Boykin, Proche... and we had no idea whether proche or duvernay were viable WRs at that point either and we had lots of evidence that boykin wasn't

it's 5m we spent on watkins and he also made some pretty crucial plays for us early in the season (people forget that because he disappeared and stopped getting snaps at the end of the year)

what this really comes down to is 2 things:
1) is some recent lack of success on day 3 in the draft - it's the unsung reason why the rams were superbowl champions this year: because they acquired comp picks (just like us) and drafted well on day 3 (just like we have historically but maybe not so much the last 3 or so drafts) and
2) lots of money not on the field because of injuries and lots of cap used up on injury call-ups and replacements

Agree. I still advocate for the Watkins signing for many things that you said and as it turned out Bateman was injured in the first 5 games where Watkins played pretty well.
