1a. Offensive Tackle

The Jacksonville Jaguars need to make sure whoever their quarterback is going to be for the foreseeable future is well protected.

Because of how rare good left tackle play is in the NFL these days, the Jaguars could end up franchise tagging former second-round pick Cam Robinson, but there’s obviously no guarantee of that and Robinson has been a better run blocker than pass protector in his four NFL seasons.

Robinson has also struggled some staying healthy.

He has not yet played a full 16-game schedule, and was limited to just two games in 2018.

Obviously if durability and pass protection are concerns, along with the fact that Robinson is a free agent, that would push offensive tackle near the top of the Jaguars’ priority list in the 2021 NFL Draft or offseason in general.
