All this talk of taking an ORT in Rd 1 is just crazy. Most teams highly value OLT because they must go up against the opponents best DE, but the ORT typically has a TE next to him to help him out and for the most part the ORT is where the RB runs, because most teams have right handed QBs. Most teams will select a starting ORT no higher than Rd 3 and it is not unusual to see a starting ORT taken in between Rds 4 and 6.

 

The team has already invested in their OLT and for the most part 2014 was his rookie season. Give Luke Joeckel a few years to get his feet under himself before you throw the baby out with the bathwater.

 

Bottomline, the Jags will not draft an ORT in Rd 1. Maybe Rd 2, if a Rd 1 OT falls, but most likely if they Jags do draft an ORT, it will be no sooner than Rd 4 and with the depth in this draft class, the Jags should be able to draft a starting ORT at the top of Rd 4.
