Most NFL mock drafts predicted that the Jacksonville Jaguars would use the No. 1 overall pick on an offensive tackle before free agency. Then they franchise tagged their 2021 starting left tackle Cam Robinson, inked guard Brandon Scherff to a large contract, and re-signed center Tyler Shatley.
They also failed to add any edge rushers with all the money they shelled out in free agency. As a result, the presumption has now shifted to expecting Jacksonville to spend pick No. 1 on a pass rusher like Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson.
On Monday Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson discussed his plans at right tackle while also offering his thoughts on tagging Robinson at the NFL’s Annual Meeting held in Palm Beach, Fla.
