A lot of people think the Jaguars need to add to their running back group and it's not an outrageous thought, given the current state of the Jaguars running backs. That's nothing against T.J. Yeldon, who I think is good and very capable, but adding in someone like Ivory is a solid move.

Ivory is also a good option on the goal line, an area the Jaguars really struggled with. He averaged 4.3 yards per carry in a more balanced Jets offense and added in seven touchdowns on the ground. Upgrading the running back group in free agency is a much better option than spending a draft pick doing so.
