The Jaguars have addressed their offensive tackle needs with the signing of Kelvin Beachum who figures to move Luke Joeckel to the right tackle position.

As one of the teams who has done the most this off-season, Jacksonville has addressed many areas of need, but still need to establish an elite pass rush.

Prized free agent Malik Jackson can play anywhere on the line, and provides the team the flexibility they need to pull the trigger on Ohio State’s Joey Bosa. With 2015 first round draft pick Dexter Fowler Jr. coming back from a torn ACL, there’s no telling how effective the former Gator will be.

Adding Bosa allows the team to have options at the position, and Jackson’s versatility gives the Jags a legitimate defensive line should Fowler come back better than ever.

A defensive front featuring Bosa, Jackson, and Fowler Jr. would be scary good if they all pan out, but a combination of the three should be able to produce much better penetration than the previous front who finished in the bottom half of the league in sacks.
