I don't understand how anyone who has actually been watching Jaguars football for the last 3 years would agree to such a ridiculous idea? PFF watches every play of every OT in the league and scores them for the season. Cam Robinson graded a measly 61.8 and Jawaan Taylor was even worse with 56.5 that is among the lowest combo scores in the league. To put this in perspective, the Bengals and their fans are dying to draft Penei Sewell, so they can move Jonah Williams to RT and rid themselves of current RT Bobby Hart who has been a mess. Hart scored a 66.3 last season. That is significantly better than both of our OT's and he's horrible! Why would we tag an OT that has been so bad? That is a loser's mentality. 

There are at least a dozen OT's in this draft that I believe would be upgrades over Robinson. I'm not saying all of them would be great players. I'm just saying Robinson and Taylor have set the bar so low, that at least a dozen rookie OT's would be better than them. Don't get me wrong, I don't just want an upgrade, I'd like to get a franchise LT, but even an upgrade would be better than the garbage we have out there currently at OT. Both Robinson and Taylor are slow footed and slow to get out of their stances and regularly get beaten off the edge. Ideally, we would sign Trent Williams and select competition for Taylor on the right side, but if we don't, I fully believe we can find either a franchise LT or at least a major upgrade at the LT position via the draft.

I disagree, I don't see a dozen LTs in this draft being better than Robinson next year.  I don't even think there will be 5 better.  Robinson and Taylor did play poorly last year but I think they both play better this upcoming year with Meyer there.  I hope we get Williams as well though and I'd be good with getting Okung as well

We should 100% get one of Jonnu, Everett, or Alie-Cox. I get that everyone is racing to give us Freiermuth because we hired his coach, but I just don't think he is a scheme fit with Meyer. Meyer used Aaron Hernandez as a pace and space weapon and other than him he has never really used TE in his offenses, especially not at OSU.

Having his coach is nice bit that has nothing to do with why people want Freiermuth
