The latest NFL draft intel from ESPN's Dan Graziano could be good news for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are without a first-round pick.
Based on what he's heard from around the NFL, Graziano is predicting that 7 to 10 offensive linemen could get picked in the first round.
"There's a late-round zone loaded with teams that would love to come out of Thursday night with a new offensive lineman, including the Lions, Panthers, Steelers, Chargers, Eagles, Browns, Bears, 49ers, Chiefs and Patriots," Graziano wrote. "Kansas City could even use its No. 9 pick on an offensive tackle and no one would be surprised. Baltimore could take Ioane at No. 14, if he's there."
So, how does this impact the Jaguars?
While we could certainly see the Jaguars address their offensive line unit at some point in the draft, given that there was no roster turnover at this position this offseason, this is not an early-round need that has to be tackled.
