While I know this is sarcasm, the Jags can't afford to have their first round pick this year sit and watch.

This is likely their last year of Lawrence on his rookie deal. They need a player to come in right away and make an immediate impact. It's well known that I want a WR but if they stay at 17, the player needs to be on the field day 1. No one on the Oline is getting traded regardless of who is drafted. I love Fautanu and he is likely the only realistic OL player I would take at 17.

I think that's just an assumption. Things can happen, be moved around or offset very easily if the right opportunity presents itself. Cam Robinson and Walker Little are pending free agents going into 2025. Scherff's long in the tooth and restructured his contract already. Morse is also no spring chicken at Center anymore. 

They could very easily draft a brand spanking new OT/OG/C between the 17th and/or 48th selection and decide to trade or cut some of these guys above loose during or after the draft weekend dust settles. Carolina loves our sloppy seconds. Give them Cam Robinson for a future 4th or 5th RD pick.

Cutting or trading Cam alone gives this team more money to start extending guys this year. Maybe they do get a deal done with Lawrence. Maybe they decide to get something done with Campbell at CB, Cisco at S, Etienne at RB and possibly even Little on a low risk deal for a few more years to remain as a potential starter or consistent swing tackle.

A lot can be done with that move alone.
