Heading into the offseason after a disheartening 2016 campaign, the Jacksonville Jaguars did not have a shortage of needs at key positions. With the departure of Jonathan Cyprien, Prince Amukamara, and Kelvin Beachum, the team had to find new (and potentially better) players to fill the strong safety, cornerback, and left tackle spots.
Tom Coughlin and the rest of his staff in the front office worked aggressively to address those needs, signing Barry Church, A.J. Bouye, and trading for Branden Albert. They even went ahead and beefed up the defensive line by snagging Calais Campbell away from the Denver Broncos.
