The Jacksonville Jaguars made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game two years ago, as they got great production up and down their roster, including at quarterback. Unfortunately, that quarterback, Blake Bortles, took a major step back last season, and is no longer with the team after being released this offseason.

He landed on his feet, signing with the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, where he will play backup to Rams Pro Bowl quarterback Jared Goff. In his place, the team spent big money on Nick Foles, who is fresh off leading the Philadelphia Eagles to back-to-back playoff berths, including a Super Bowl championship two years ago.

With Foles in the fold, the Jaguars have their man under center, and now they should put some better talent in front of him on the offensive line. In this draft class, Jonah Williams from Alabama is a guy who could start right away at the NFL level on the right side, and he would be a solid addition to this Jacksonville front.

Williams played left tackle, and played it well at Alabama, but he is more suited for the right side in the NFL. He is a guy the Jaguars could plug into their offensive line as a starter on day one, and after all the money they invested in Foles, protecting him for the duration of his contract has to be priority No. 1 right now.
