. Jacksonville Jaguars. 28. team. 52. . 3-13

All those defensive free-agent acquisitions over the past two offseasons, and the Jacksonville Jaguars still carry plenty of questions on the defensive side of the ball entering this year’s NFL Draft.

The front seven is of primary concern here, and the Jags could use an impact player to anchor the defensive front. One more piece or two, and the Jaguars might actually boast a strong defense this season. This unit is close, if not totally good just yet.

And yet there are still plenty of issues on offense as well. Quarterback Blake Bortles isn’t the answer, and as long as he’s under center, the offensive production will be problematic.

Chances are, Jacksonville doesn’t worry itself with adding a quarterback early in the NFL Draft. The Jaguars will give Bortles one more chance to prove himself this season.

If he can’t, look at 2018 as the time for the Jags to make a change under center.
