7. player. 52. . Offensive Lineman. Alabama. Jonah Williams

The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially moved on from Blake Bortles, releasing him this offseason, and replacing him with a Super Bowl MVP. Bortles, who latched on with the Los Angeles Rams, had led the Jags to an AFC title game only two years ago, but he took a major step backwards in 2018.

In Bortles place, Nick Foles will enter the fold as the starting quarterback on a team that should be a playoff contender in 2019. Foles has shown  that he can lead teams deep into the playoffs, but he has never been a great starting quarterback over a 16-game span, something he will need to fix in Jacksonville.

Still, he is a proven winner, and if the Jaguars were smart, they would utilize their top-10 pick on bolstering the offensive line in front of him. When it comes to this draft class, Jonah Williams is a guy who could come in and start right away at the NFL level, and could fill a starting role as both a guard, and a tackle.

During his time at Alabama, Williams established himself as the premier offensive tackle in the SEC, which is an accomplishment on its own. He would be a welcome addition to this Jaguars offensive line, and based on the talent on both sides of the ball, the Jags should be very much in the running in a tight AFC South in 2019.
