The Jacksonville Jaguars continue to alter the perception of their team with every single new roster addition they make, and left tackle is the latest.

Next to quarterback most would argue that the blind side protector spot is the second-most important position on offense. Maybe the entire roster. Luke Joeckel was a colossal flop for the Jaguars over the past few years. Now Cam Robinson offers them a chance at redemption. He comes with a much more imposing frame and power base. Not to mention a rich history of something the organization doesn’t know much about:  winning.

Mocks expert Eric Robinson (no relation) has studied Robinson for months. Here is some of what he had to say about what the Jaguars are getting.

"“His technique has enough wrinkles for some teams to consider passing on him. Not to mention, Robinson has a recent suspension involving drug possession and a firearm is enough of a black eye for teams to conduct a little extra research. The charges were ultimately dropped but in today’s game, teams are more pressed to be sure on prospects with shady backgrounds.Overall, Robinson is a solid prospect. If taken in the first round, there is plenty to his skill set that will entice teams. However, his inconsistencies against speedy rushers along with his inconsistent footwork will turn him off to a few teams. Whichever team grabs Robinson in the first round, will get a prospect that has a likable frame and a hard-working pedigree to be a vital piece to an offensive line.”"

Grade:  A

Tom Coughlin is no dummy. He knows exactly how to fix the problem with Blake Bortles and the offense. Nothing cures hearing footsteps better than a ground-and-pound running game. Jacksonville got the first piece with Fournette and now they get a bully at left tackle to help in Robinson. He’ll help set a more physical tone for what has become a very intriguing Jaguars team over the past couple months.
