Swing tackle? We already have one of the best with Jonathan Wells having developed.

The drop-off from Robinson to Josh Wells is very severe in my opinion.  The first game or two he worked were fine for the most part, but he was exposed in the Arizona and latter tacks games. 

I like the idea of drafting an eventual replacement for Parnell that can back up both spots until it's time to take over at RT.  Will Richardson from NC State may fall to mid rounds due to some off-field stuff. Could be the kind of player the Jags could utilize in the way I've described.

Some scouts see him as a guard in the NFL, so Flaherty will have some options if he becomes a Jag.

It sez he is the best pass-blocking tackle. I think most fans are up in arms about the lack of run-blocking talent. 

If the NFL scouting grades can be reliable, on the subject of offensive line, the ONLY lineman that stands out grade-wise, is ND OG Quentin Nelson. The rest seem to be clumped together in the 6.1 - 5.8 range.

In this cluster are all three of the top tackle prospects, Orlando Brown of Oklahoma, Conner Williams of Texas, and Mike Mcglinchey of Notre Dame. 

At 5.8 sits Ohio State OT Jamarco Jones. In the computer draft stuff I've been picking him in the third round pretty regularly. NFL.com sez he has "holes like they all do..." You might want to take a look at him.

Any offensive lineman with a 'should be a pro early' grade taken prior to round four should be a good lineman. There doesn't seem to be ANY elite caliber O-linemen this year.
