24. Jacksonville Jaguars

2018 Review: Quite the thud. The improvement that quarterback Blake Bortles showed in 2017 seemed to go by the wayside this past year. And off a three-game postseason run in which he and the Jaguars did not commit a turnover, the much-maligned signal-caller completed 60.3 percent of his throws and 13 scores but was picked off 11 times and lost four fumbles in 13 outings. Running back Leonard Fournette was limited to only eight contests and a team that finished first in the league in rushing in ‘17 fell to 19th in the NFL in the same category.

2019 Key Additions: Can Nick Foles be the team’s answer behind center? He will be paired with a familiar face in new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo, who was the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach in 2017 when the team and Foles won Super Bowl LII. Former Chiefs’ wide receiver Chris Conley could be a big help, as could tight end Geoff Swaim (Cowboys). And the Jaguars added coveted tackle Jawaan Taylor (Florida) in the second round in April.

Analysis: Despite the arrival of Foles, it’s the Jacksonville running game that must re-establish itself after a disappointing showing a year ago. Fournette’s talent is unquestioned but he has to stay on the field. T.J. Yeldon is now a member of the Bills so the club is counting on newcomers Alfred Blue, Benny Cunningham and Thomas Rawls to provide depth. Getting talented wide receiver Marqise Lee back this season would be a big help as well.

Next: No. 23
