Analysis

The big win for the Jaguars last season was letting go of Urban Meyers. Some college coaches are not cut out to be pro coaches, or decent human beings. It’s up to a new coaching staff to make sure highly-touted QB Trevor Lawrence doesn’t rot on the vine. The Jaguars laid down serious free agent money to lure mediocre talent to Jacksonville, ensuring that the young QB has pieces to work with. Another number-one draft pick in DE Travon Walker means that the Jaguars can dream about the future. Whatever helps them to look beyond the present.

Prediction: 3rd in division. The Jaguars want to win and the whole organization is rooting for rebirth in the hands of QB Trevor Lawrence. That counts for something. Need more time in the oven and talent for a playoff push.
