As much as it would benefit Norwell to be released ASAP ( if he's indeed going to be released ), the Jaguars would be hurting their contract leverage with FA Guards if Norwell is released before his replacement is secured.

Very well stated D6. 

I thought that Norwell was one of the better players on the team last year even if his performance was not commensurate with his performance. 

There are some nice prospects at the guard position that I think will be available in the mid rounds of the draft.

Thanks, jagsfan06.

The middle rounds of most drafts are an excellent opportunity to put together the majority of an Offensive Line. One GM who did a masterful job with this is former Packers GM , Ted Thompson, who sadly passed away back in January.  Thompson selected the following eventual quality starting Offensive Lineman in the 4th or 5th Round:

1. T David Bakhtiari ( 4th )
2.  G T. J. Lang ( 4th )
3. G Josh Sitton ( 4th )
4. T Don Barclay ( 4th )
5. C Corey Linsey ( 5th )
