For the NFL, it's March 19th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell recently looked at roster holes for NFL teams after free agency and for the Jacksonville Jaguars, he pointed to Linebacker as the biggest gab. Devon Lloyd is now with the Carolina Panthers, leaving a void in the middle of the defense where he handled a lot of duties. Barnwell sees potential fixes from within. Like Ventro Miller stepping up on defense and Branson Combs covering special teams alongside foyer, Oluo Kuhn, and Dennis Gardek as key options right now. Not everyone agrees that's the top priority though. Some insiders argue the current Linebacker group and new defensive coordinator Anthony Caponele's scheme can fill the gap just fine. Instead, the real need stands out at defensive tackle where depth is thin and the past rush faded late last season, so General Manager James. Gladstone should target that spot next.
