Wrong.

"Jaguars Top 5 Draft Needs
1. EDGE rusher - The Jaguars had a lot of sacks last season, but they were dead last in bringing pressures. This is a case where the sacks didn't really tell the story of the Jaguars pass rush. Not only that, but the top three LEO edge rushers currently on the Jaguars roster are Chris Clemons (33 years old), Andre Branch (injury history, disappointing production, final year of contract) and Chris Smith (2014 5th round pick, barely played). This will be a position the Jaguars upgrade in the draft, the question is just where."

But it doesn't matter how good that defense is if they can't score a damn point. You don't score points, you lose. It ain't rocket science. Yes, it was a need, but no, it was not even nearly their biggest need.

The Jaguars drafted for offense last year (6 of 9 picks were offensive players). They haven't even have time to develop their young players yet. Matching the biggest need without reaching is not a bad strategy.

A fair point. I still don't think Fowler was their best option, but only time will tell whether the pick will pay off or not.
