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.

Of course it's an assumption but it's an educated guess based on the teams actions.

Do you really think the Jaguars want to go into the season with a rookie LT, RT (assuming the move Anton to LT) or guard? If they wanted to move on from Scherff, they would have done so by now but they restructured him to secure his spot on this team. The team has continually showed you how they feel about the OL. They really like Cam Robinson. They really like Scherff. They also (for some odd reason) like Fortner. They are banking on Morse being the difference on the OL.

They've also showed you that they are really looking to upgrade the WR room. They tried to bring back Ridley and failed. There were rumors circling about Aiyuk. Now there are rumors circling about trading up for Nabers or Odunze.

I'm just trying to read the tea leaves here. Doug and Trent are meeting with the media at 2 today. I doubt they will give us any info but I know I'll be trying to read between the lines there lol
