The Jacksonville Jaguars are not going to be a very good team this season. I’m not talking “our ceiling is 8-8” bad. I think this team will be the first eliminated from playoff contention and have double digit losses by Thanksgiving.

I mean... just look at their roster management over the past few weeks. You’ve traded away Calais Campbell, you’re telling the league as plainly as you can that Yannick Ngakoue and Leonard Fournette are on the trade block. There is zero competition for a young quarterback in Gardner Minshew.

This is a team that is punting 2020 and it stinks. We are, as Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated has called us, the Trevor Lawrence Team.

9) Jacksonville Jaguars: Another team that loves Brown? Yes, another team that loves, and won’t get, Brown. And this is also the team I’ve heard marked by others as the “Trevor Lawrence Team” — which references how they’re looking at trades involving picks not just for 2020, but 2021. It’s possible that Yannick Ngaukoe could be part of such a deal (maybe as a part of some sort of 2020 pick swap, with a premium pick in 2021 coming back). Leonard Fournette could be too. And this might be a landing spot for a tackle-hungry team like Denver or Tampa. But if we’re keeping them here, even with a good chance they look at the offensive or defensive lines, and we have Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons still on the board, I’m gonna say that they’ll see him as too good to pass on.

Go Jaguars.
