Jaguars got Trevor Lawrence some help

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The 2022 NFL draft was barely a week ago, but it’s already obvious that the Jacksonville Jaguars’ focus in the 2023 offseason will be getting quarterback Trevor Lawrence more help.

The Jaguars did that in free agency by signing two receivers and a tight end, but after going defense with five of their seven draft picks and selecting only one skill-position player (a fifth-round running back), offense will be their top priority next year.

“I think the free-agent period allowed us some freedom to look at the draft a little differently than we might have pre-free agency, if that makes sense,” general manager Trent Baalke said. “Again, dealing with [Head] Coach [Doug Pederson] and going through the process with the coaching staff, it’s all about developing the best roster, the best 53. That’s how we approached free agency, that’s how we approached the draft.
