To start can we give a big round of applause to Dave Caldwell for trading a dumpster of poop and getting a pick in return? What a great day!
We know we signed Red Bryant, Zane Beadles, and Toby Gerhart. Resigned Will Blackmon and have visits from Willie Young, Walter Thurmond and Dekoda Watson.
If we assume that we sign the three visitors the current depth chart approximately looks like this.

RG - McClendon

Defense
5-tech DE - Bryant, Alualu
3 - tech DT - Marks,
1 tech DT - Miller, Jones

If the Jaguars go after a Center, WR and then get some people on prove it contracts this FA period will be a huge success.
At Center - Mack, Dietrich-Smith, and De La Puente are the three best available. Who should the Jaguars target? I would be happy to give a front loaded contract to Mack so if we draft Bridgewater (or any other rookie QB but I really just want him) he has the confidence that one of the best centers in the game is protecting him. I played QB and Center in my football career and I can't stress enough the importance of a good center, (but we might need a 10Mil a year center) for a QB to feel comfortable in the pocket.
WR - Eric Decker was linked to Jacksonville and I would be excited to get him. Golden Tate, James Jones, Emmanuel Sanders and Decker seem are all targets I would be interested in.
What current FA should we target? I think that we need a veteran at center and a #2 WR. What other postions should we be interested in?
Training camp will be so much fun with 11 draft picks all competing to make this team! Go Jaguars!
