On Day 3 of NFL free agency, the Jacksonville Jaguars made their first outside addition, signing running back Chris Rodriguez.
Along with adding Rodriguez, the Jaguars have retained a few of their own free agents in recent days, including cornerback Montaric Brown. But overall, it’s been a quiet start to free agency for Jacksonville.
As we embark on the third day of free agency, who are the best available players still out there?
Focusing on positions that the Jaguars should still be looking to address, here are Pro Football Focus’ best available free agents heading into Wednesday.
Best available free agent defensive ends on Day 4
What’s the need? The Jaguars are positioned well here with Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker. However, bolstering the rotation at this position is needed. We may not see Jacksonville spend big at this position, but a low-cost addition could be made.
Best available free agent linebackers on Day 4
What’s the need? With Lloyd in Carolina, the starting job next to Foye Oluokun is up for grabs. Ventrell Miller or Jack Kiser are options already on the roster, or perhaps James Gladstone chooses to explore free agency and the NFL draft to bolster the depth and competition.
Best available free agent defensive tackles on Day 4
What’s the need? This is arguably the biggest positional need the Jaguars have. Improved depth and more pass-rush juice are needed.
Best available free agent interior offensive lineman on Day 4
What’s the need? The Jaguars are experiencing almost no roster turnover along the offensive line. So, is there a pressing need? Not really. However, for a team that stresses competition up front, I can’t rule out an addition either, as Jacksonville looks to be more effective in the run game this season.
