Jaguars Eye Guard Prospects in NFL Draft
1 Mar
Summary
- Jacksonville aims to strengthen its offensive line, particularly at guard.
- Three offensive linemen are highlighted for their potential draft value.
- Bisontis is noted as potentially the best pass-protecting interior lineman.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, recognized as a rising team after securing the AFC South title and achieving 13 victories in the past season under the James Gladstone and Liam Coen regime, are addressing a key roster weakness: the offensive line, specifically at the guard position. The upcoming NFL Draft presents an opportunity to find both depth and potential starters.
During Sunday's NFL Scouting Combine workouts for offensive linemen, the Jaguars will be scrutinizing guard-specific prospects. Among those to watch are Dunker, lauded for his intangible traits and versatility; Bisontis, considered the draft's top interior pass-protector; and Rutledge, a physical blocker with experience at both guard and center, noted for his versatility.
Rutledge's ability to pull and climb to the second level, along with Bisontis's strong pass-protection skills, makes them attractive options. If Bisontis performs well in combine testing, he could be a target for the Jaguars at pick No. 56. Rutledge, potentially a third-round target, also offers valuable positional versatility.
