New General Manager David Caldwell said the building process will be based primarily on the draft. “We’re going to be a heavily-draft-built team,” he said. “We’re going to do this from the ground up, and start with the draft. We’ll supplement through free agency if we have to.” Caldwell also said his draft philosophy is largely “needs-based,” adding, “If it’s comparable, we’ll go with the greater need. You have to go through draft management. You may fill a need in the second or third round versus your primary need in the first round. As long as have a need in the first round you try to get the best available player to fill that need.” Caldwell said he is more apt to focus on need early in the draft with a focus best available player later in the draft. “You have to be calculated in your approach,” Caldwell said. “If you’re a drafter of a team, you can’t select the same position over and over and over.”
* Caldwell said evaluation of the Jaguars’ roster will begin after the Senior Bowl, and said he’s not necessarily looking at a complete roster overhaul. “We’re looking to build on what we have,” Caldwell said. “We’re not looking to tear down what we have. To build on the players we have right now is the key for us.”
Caldwell said while the team has yet to focus on the specifics of the draft-day approach, he will be open to anything, including possibly trading the No. 2 overall selection. “We’ll do what’s best for the organization,” he said.
We'll also continue to be a 4-3 base Defense. I've read that Bradley will use the LEO position like he did at Seattle. The LEO position is like a DE/OLB 4-3/3-4 hybrid. Chris Clemons and Bruce Irvin played the LEO position a lot for Seattle. Andre Branch would be a great fit for the LEO position here. He played pretty much the same position at Clemson. They move that position around a lot.
