Jacksonville Jaguars 2016 Offseason: Was free agency a success? The hype train building around the team indicates it was.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are essentially done with free agency, finishing up their “big” signings earlier in the week when they locked up offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum to come in and compete with Luke Joeckel. Despite potentially being a backup, Beachum is arguably the most impactful offensive player the team signed in free agency because he could end up significantly improving the pass protection if he does get inserted into the starting lineup. The Jaguars didn’t do much else on offense (no shade at Chris Ivory), instead rightly focusing on the defense – a unit so crippling in 2015 that second year quarterback Blake Bortles routinely had to force the ball downfield early in the second half to try and chip away at a huge lead.
