Pro Football Focus has put out its annual preseason offensive line rankings Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys 2019 , and the Jacksonville Jaguars do not rank very highly heading into the 2019 season. The PFF Analysis team list the..." offensive line 21st in NFL New,9commentsEDTPro Football Focus has put out its annual preseason offensive line rankings, and the Jacksonville Jaguars do not rank very highly heading into the 2019 season. The PFF Analysis team list the Jaguars’ unit at No. 21 in the league, in between the Cleveland Browns at No. 20 and the Atlanta Falcons at No. 22. Here is what Pro Football Focus had to say about Jacksonville in the offensive trenches: I think the criticism is fair, but I expect them to outperform this early ranking. I am already on record saying that if the unit stays healthy, I think it will be solid to good this season. That is a big if, though. While this blurb mentions the season-ending injury to Cam Robinson, it failed to mention how four of the five starters ended the season on injured reserve last season, and even backups spent time out of the lineup. The team started 12 different players on the offensive line in 2018. I mean that information should be taken into account when judging the unit’s potential as a healthy group in 2019. PFF also mentions how Andrew Norwell, after signing a huge contract, took a step back. But again, injuries took a toll on him, and he has vowed to not let his teammates down again this year. A.J. Cann’s shortcomings were also talked about here, something Jaguars fans are familiar with, but he was also playing banged up and with a makeshift offensive line next to him. The Jaguars liked Cann enough to re-sign him to a three-year Womens Josh Oliver Jersey , $15 million contract in the offseason. They aren’t paying him $5 million per year to sit on the bench, so he will be back in the starting lineup and looking to improve. The listed projected starting lineup seems accurate, but Cam Robinson is not expected to start training camp as a full-go, so hopefully he is ready to go by Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. At right tackle, rookie Jawaan Taylor is expected to start right away, but he will be challenged by second-year man Will Richardson (who has also been getting reps at guard during offseason workouts), and veteran Cedric Ogbuehi, who struggled during his time with the Cincinnati Bengals, but who is also looking to rejuvenate his career in Jacksonville. The three interior players are locked in as opening day starters (barring injury). After leading the league in rushing yards in 2017 with 141.4 yards per game, the offense took a huge step back in 2018, finishing the year ranked No. 19 with 107.7 yards on the ground per game. Some of this could be blamed on poor play from the o-line, some can be attributed to the injuries and some of it could be put on the shoulders of Leonard Fournette, who was in and out of the lineup and really struggled during his sophomore campaign. Whichever way you slice it, it needs to be better this time around. In terms of pass protection last season, the offensive line was abysmal. The team gave up 53 sacks in 2018 Cheap Josh Oliver Jersey , which was tied with the Green Bay Packers for third most in the league. Only the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys gave up more. The Jags gave up, on average, 3.3 sacks per game. For comparison, Jacksonville only gave up 1.5 sacks per game in 2017, and were in the top-five for fewest sacks allowed. That number more than doubled last season, and it’s no wonder the Jaguars had such an anemic offense. This must be better in 2019. So, in conclusion, I expect the offensive line to perform much better than how the injury-riddled 2018 unit did. For those interested, the Philadelphia Eagles were the No. 1 ranked line in the PFF article. What do you think? Is this a fair ranking from Pro Football Focu ere are some avenues the Jaguars could pursue when it comes to building the blueprint of the tight end position. Current RosterBen KoyackPharoah McKeever (futures contract)Woof. There’s not need to go into much analysis here Black Josh Oliver Jersey , as the Jaguars may have the worst tight end depth chart in the league outside of the Bills. It’s entirely possible that the team would be open to bringing back James O’Shaughnessy, but you would think this would have happened already if it were in the cards. With new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo philosophically big on utilizing tight ends, you would have to imagine the front office prioritizing a position that has traditionally been an afterthought in Jacksonville. Free AgentsJesse JamesTyler EifertDion SimsMaxx WilliamsC.J. UzomahThe tight end class in free agency is so weak that I couldn’t even separate the premium versus bargain free agents. There have already been rumblings about the Jaguars challenging the Bills for the services of Jesse James, and while they would likely be severely overpaying due to the lack of supply (probably somewhere close to $8 million APY), I would trust Flip to make James effective in the offense like he did with journeyman Gary Barnidge in Cleveland. Tyler Eifert appears to be finally healthy following his gruesome ankle/foot injury in 2018, but his long track record of injuries may scare off a Jaguars team stressing availability in 2019. Recent cap casualty Dion Sims is nothing to write home about but would add another veteran body to the room, and Maxx Williams never realized his potential in Baltimore. An under-the-radar guy to consider is C.J. Uzomah, who finally got meaningful reps in Cincinnati after Eifert’s injury and would be an extremely cost-effective high upside signing.Draft Day Two OptionsNoah FantIrv Smith Jr. Kaden SmithI didn’t list T.J. Hockenson here only because I think the chances of him lasting to the second round are slim-to-none. Hockenson’s Iowa teammate, Noah Fant, is also unlikely to be around by the Jaguars second round pick, but would be an exceptional athlete to transform the tight end position in Jacksonville. Alabama’s Irv Smith Jr. is one of the youngest players in the draft (won’t turn 21 until August) and is probably the third and final guy in this class who could develop into an alpha playmaker at tight end. Another player I’m higher on than most is Stanford’s Kaden Smith, who is solid in all facets of the game and is a better receiver than given credit for. Smith compares similarly to fellow former Stanford tight end Zach Ertz. Draft Day Three OptionsFoster MoreauIsaac NautaTommy SweeneyDrew SampleIf the Jaguars don’t land a tight end in the first two days of the draft, don’t sweat it. In fact, with Tom Coughlin’s Giants teams never selecting a tight end before the 100th pick in the draft and Dave Caldwell never selecting one before the 7th round, history would suggest it’s almost a certainty we won’t see a Jaguars tight end selection until day three. The good news is that this class is rife at the position and day three could be a sweet spot. Foster Moreau was the most impressive tight end to me at the Senior Bowl and has elite leadership skills that would be a huge asset to the locker room. Moreau’s relationship with Leonard Fournette Josh Oliver Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , who has listed Moreau as “an honorary Fournette,” would be an extra bonus. Isaac Nauta didn’t have the eye-popping production at Georgia, but the Jacksonville Jaguars fan is a balanced player who is reliable in both the pass and run game. Tommy Sweeney from Tom Coughlin’s old Boston College stomping grounds is another gritty, reliable player who looks like he could be an underrated athlete based off his week in Mobile. Washington’s Drew Sample is another good blocking tight end prospect who could contribute as a receiver, similar to fellow Husky Will Dissly last year. Undrafted Free Agent OptionsTrevon Wesco Kendall BlantonAndrew BeckTyre McCants If they keep all seven of their picks, the Jaguars could take a couple of tight ends on day three to fill out the room. In such a strong and deep tight end class, it’s also possible they go hard at prioritizing some tight end/fullback hybrids to replace Tommy Bohanon’s role on the roster. West Virginia’s Trevon Wesco, Texas’ Andrew Beck, and USF’s Tyre McCants are all prime candidates to be pursued, and Kendall Blanton at 6’7” looks like a Marcedes Lewis clone who could be developed into a solid run blocker.2019 TE Depth Chart PredictionJesse JamesFoster MoreauBen KoyackAndrew Beck
