The Jacksonville Jaguars have been a joke this season, firing their head coach mid-season, and playing sub-par football throughout. They did pick up a win this past weekend, defeating divisional rival Tennessee, but this season has been a loss. The organization will likely stick with Blake Bortles under center, so while they definitely need help at the position, using such a high pick on an arm does not seem likely in 2017.

Alabama’s Cam Robinson is a mountain of a man, who has the brute strength to move defensive lineman with ease. He has been the anchor of the dynasty that is the University of Alabama, and will be battling for another national title in the coming weeks. Robinson could slide right in as the starting left tackle in Jacksonville next season, giving Bortles another solid piece to the puzzle.

With guys like T.J. Yeldon, Allen Robinson, and Julius Thomas coming back on offense, the Jaguars should be able to move the ball better in 2017. Bortles will be in a make-or-break season, and the organization already spent the entire 2016 offseason building up the talent on the defensive side of the ball. The AFC South should be up for grabs once again in 2017, and if the Jags can actually play up to their potential, they could be in the mix for the division title.
