They’ll trade down. It’s a deep class at
their positions of need and if top tier defensive..."The Jacksonville Jaguars
will do one of three things with the No. 7 overall pick on Thursday
night:They’ll trade down. It’s a deep class at their positions of need and if
top tier defensive lineman like Ed Oliver drops
Black Jalen Ramsey Jerseys , a team like the Atlanta Falcons could be a good trade partner.They’ll pick a tight end. There are two very good players at the
top — T.J. Hockenson and Noah Fant — who will not be there when they pick again
in the second round.They’ll pick an offensive lineman, specifically a right
tackle to fill the void of Jermey Parnell leaving.One right tackle linked with
the Jaguars has been Jawaan Taylor out of the University of Florida.NFL insiders
say that would be a bad move.Tony Pauline, appearing on 1010XL’s “Jaguars Today”
radio program had some things to say about Taylor, none of which were
good.“Teams have multiple medical red flags on Jawaan Taylor,” Pauline said. “He
has knee, back
Jalen Ramsey Jerseys 2019 , and weight issues that’s scaring teams.”What do you think? Are Taylor’s issues being overblown or should the Jaguars look elsewhere
when it comes to the No. 7 overall pick? Let us know in the comments
below!Jaguars injuries aren’t ‘sink your season’ bad The Jacksonville Jaguars
have hit a slew of injuries on the offensive side of the ball this week, sending
quite a few of fans into a panic. The team got extremely lucky in 2017 and
mostly dodged the injury bug, but so far in 2018 they haven’t been so lucky. The
team lost starting wide receiver Marqise Lee to a knee injury in the preseason,
starting left tackle Cam Robinson to a knee injury early in the season, Leonard
Fournette has been out a few games and now Corey Grant and Austin
Seferian-Jenkins are on injured reserve.Oh yeah, back up left tackle Josh Wells
has a groin injury keeping him out this week against the Dallas Cowboys and
nickel corner D.J. Hayden is out for the third week in a row.That all sounds
really bad
Black Telvin Smith Jerseys , but the state of the Jaguars injuries are being wildly overrated.None of these injuries individually or combined are sink your
season/offense bad, and if they are then there is another issue entirely we need
to talk about.The Jaguars receiving group hasn’t missed Marqise Lee as most
didn’t think they would. Robinson was struggling all preseason and Josh Wells
filled in his place without a blip and some could even argue was more
consistent. Expecting Fournette to be healthy the full season was always beyond
hopeful since he hasn’t been healthy a full season since about 2015 and Grant
was a package player at best. As far as Seferian-Jenkins, his blocking will be
missed but the Jaguars haven’t utilized the tight end as a receiving option
since David Garrard was earning a $60 million extension.Without Fournette the
Jaguars offense has showed, multiple times, it can get things down and
effectively run the football. That’s not even mentioning that even with
Fournette the Jaguars were mediocre running the ball. Not to undersell
Fournette, but the offense hasn’t really taken a nosedive without him out
there.The bread and butter of the Jaguars success is on the defensive side of
the ball
Telvin Smith Jerseys 2019 , not the offense. As long as the defensive side of the ball maintains their health, the Jaguars should be successful this season.
They’ll still live and die by which quarterback shows up on Sunday, but none of
the injuries on the offense side of the ball should have that much of a long
term impact on the performance of the quarterback. If more wide receivers start
dropping out, or another offensive lineman for the season it will become a
concern.As it is however?The Jaguars have lost their third best receiver, the
left tackle who was struggling, a tight end who wasn’t all that
involved
Youth Taven Bryan Jerseys , and a package running back.There were issues at the running back position prior to the run of injuries that the Jaguars gambled on
in the offseason and lost. Signing guys like Jamaal Charles and David Williams
are things they should have done prior to or during training camp, rather than
keeping six wide receivers.That’s not even going to get my hand close to the
panic button.
