After the Jacksonville Jaguars decided to franchise tag tackle Cam Robinson and sign free agent guard Brandon Scherff, many switched their predictions of the team taking an offensive lineman first overall. However, with the need for one more starting offensive lineman, the possibility shouldn’t be completely off the table.
If the Jags do still decide to take an offensive lineman, Evan Neal is the consensus pick for most, but Ikem Ekwonu is a name that some viewed as a dark horse candidate to be the choice. It appears those predictions were fair as N.C. State coach, Dave Doeren, revealed that the Jags were one of three teams who’ve shown the most interest in Ekwonu in a recent media conference.
"We know the Jaguars really like him. The Jets really like him. The Giants really like him…He was there to support his teammates and there to cheer every guy on in every drill…He's put himself in a really good position." — Doeren on Ekwonu and Pro Day
