John Shipley· Sep 26, 2026
Shipley argues the Jaguars' biggest weakness is interior pass rush and names three defensive tackles — Carolina's Bobby Brown III, Philadelphia's Moro Ojomo and Green Bay's Karl Brooks — as players Jacksonville should trade for.
“So if this is a path the Jaguars have to go down, which names would make sense for the front office and coaching staff?”

3 checkable claims in this take
Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing.
Bobby Brown III to move to Jacksonville Jaguars
“Carolina Panthers DL Bobby Brown III ... Brown would be an easier deal to make, and he is still a talented a player with some juice who could give the Jaguars another option to win one-on-ones in the running game.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
Moro Ojomo to move to Jacksonville Jaguars
“Philadelphia Eagles DL Moro Ojomo ... This is a fit that would make a lot of sense if the Eagles get a big enough offer.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
Karl Brooks to move to Jacksonville Jaguars
“Green Bay Packers DL Karl Brooks ... if they keep losing then they might be willing to part with the contract-year player for a draft pick”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
