Unless they love one of the offensive tackles like Williams, Hockenson would be a great choice. As was already mentioned, Foles likes throwing to his tight ends and he would immediately utilize Hockenson as a safety net. His blocking skills would be very useful in helping Fournette rebound next season. Add in someone like Lindstrom (another safe pick) in round 2 and the running game should become enough of a threat to maximize Foles' chance of success.

I don't think there's any chance Lindstrom will still be on the board during our 2nd round pick. Dude screams day 1, plug and play starter for the next 10 years imo. I think he's going in the 1st round for sure.

But I agree, if he's still there at our pick, they need to run that card to the podium instantly.

I'd say there's a greater than 50-50 chance he will be there at pick 37. The following offensive linemen have a very good chance of being taken ahead of him:

Jonah Williams
Jamaal Taylor
Andre Dillard
Cody Ford
Dalton Risner
Greg Little

Most of these guys either play tackle or can play multiple positions on the line. True guards (which Lindstrom is) are typically not as highly regarded as tackles or swing players and that is why I believe he'll still be on the board in round 2 for the Jags. Defense is definitely going to dominate the 1st round and when you add in the likelihood of 3 quarterbacks being taken in round 1 Lindstrom should be there. If he's not, I'd be inclined to take any of the above except Little in round 2- although we know Williams, Taylor and Ford will be guaranteed 1st rounders.
