My realistic best-case scenario for improving the roster

It is so funny how the Jags wanted Reggie to be more of an in-the-box safety and the Bengals let him play to his strengths- a center fielder.  Now we struggle with an in-the-box safety that we try to make a center fielder (Williams)...can we not self-scout?  

I doubt there are many FA out there that could be such a perfect fit as was Reggie, plus the Bengals have Williams under contract for a while longer.  At least he showed improvement toward the end of the season...he was a disaster in the first quarter of the season.  I was hoping Derron Smith would get a better look, as he thrives in more of that Reggie role.

Maybe the Jags will trade away a 7th round pick for Smith and he would become a stalwart on their defense...only seems fair.  He is just being wasted here.
