If we go oline in round 1

It makes me think there should be someone worth picking in round two, so maybe we can look at other needs in round one.

I reckon Hernandez and one of Daniels or Price will be gone by the time we pick at 29 anyway.


Considering Parnell is about to turn 32, we might be able to kill two birds with one stone by getting a guy who can play RG for now and eventually RT. The names you mentioned here won't do that. 

I'm starting to really like Jamarco Jones in round two as a can't miss RG who could effectively take over for Parnell. I can see Crosby and Rankin doing the same, and at least one of the three should be there. With that in mind, I feel we can go a different direction in round one, although I wouldn't mind Wynn or Conner Williams as they could both do as much with even more certainty.

As for the #29 pick knowing we can go OL in round two, Dallas Goedert or Gesicki in round one makes too much sense unless Courtland Sutton or someone unexpected falls to the spot.  Previously I was thinking they could maybe wait until round two for a chance that Hayden Hurst would still be there, but that's just too risky as he could easily go earlier. Mark Andrews might fall that far, but I really don't even want to touch him because it would be cruel to even ask him to play in Florida with his particular medical condition.

There are three types of O-Linemen that the jags could take in the first or second round that would make impact. 
  • A pure guard that steps right in and makes RG better
  • A Center that either moves to guard or moves Linder to Guard
  • A RT candidate that can play RG for a year (maybe two) until Parnell requires replacement
The Jags will likely consider all three of those approaches as valid options and simply take whichever lineman of that pool they have graded the highest at their pick.  it gives them lots of options.

Sure all options work, although the third option would be ideal. That said, you'd have to get this player either in round one or two.

For options one and two, I'm noticing possibilities in each of the first four rounds. Mostly the first three, however, there are a couple round four guys who could probably step right in and start. In particular, Tony Adams in a natural RG and Scott Quessenberry has experience both at C and G.

Another consideration.

It appears there is more depth at the guard position than at tackle this year.

So maybe we’re better off looking for the best available tackle (or at least someone who can play at both spots) and drafting a guard later on?

But would you turn down someone like Hernandez, if he fell to us?

Unless Connor Williams doesn't transition to guard, there's probably only one tackle worth taking in the first round and he won't fall to us at 29. Just take whoever we have graded highest out of Wynn, Hernandez, Price, Williams, or Ragnow, etc. and be happy you're getting a stud guard.
