What do you think they are going to draft on the offensive line?  I think this year's starters are set.  They just signed Cleveland and Morse.  Scherff was renegotiated to a contract that I understand guarantees his 2024 salary.  Harrison isn't going anywhere.  The only one even conceivably on the table would be Cam, but if they were going to cut him, I think they would have already done it.  That's very likely to be our starting five.

You can always upgrade depth, but I'm not sure that's necessarily going to happen either.  The Jaguars have Walker Little as the swing tackle.  Fortner and Tugboat are inexpensive depth at center and guard.  Hance, just re-signed, has the versatility to play all positions except center.  I could easily see the Jaguars staying pat with those 9 players.

I expect we use 2 of our first 5 picks on the O-line. The approach on the o-line this year is from the learning our brain trust did last year.  We have 5 solid guys to go into the next season for the line now. Additionally, we have a really good option at swing tackle. Problem is they have only short term plugged the hole. The o-line pipeline is broken. What we have behind these 6 are basically just warm bodies.  This is not new it has been that way for years. Sure we  have an untested rookie in 6th round pick coming off injury. Sure we signed a warm body that is very versatile (Hance). What they need are at least 2 good nasty rookies to develop because I see them needing at least one of them to start next year.
