Where does PFF rank the Jaguars offensive line for 2019?

The Jaguars offensive line didn’t receive the best ranking by Pro Football Focus. It needs to improve.

It could be worse. It should be better, but it could be a lot worse for the Jacksonville Jaguars. After a season that ended following a Week 5 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Jaguars look to retake their place as the leader of the AFC South with new pieces to the offensive puzzle.

The team also has a healthy offensive line that started a chain reaction of players finding their way to the Injured Reserve list last season. If the line, which returns four of five starters, can play up to their expectations and the new right tackle, rookie Jawaan Taylor, proves to be the road grader with a mean streak the front office believes he has, then the current ranking by Pro Football Focus will be unwarranted.

If the line cannot find its way out of a wet paper bag, then the No. 21 offensive line should be ranked even lower than the expectations of the website’s analysts.

"“After left tackle Cam Robinson suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of the 2018 season, we still don’t really know what the Jags will be getting from the former Alabama big man in 2019,” the PFF Analysis Team wrote. “Heading into Year 3 of his career, Robinson has recorded just two single-game grades north of 70.0, while he’s recorded 13 single-game grades of less than 60.0.More from Jacksonville Jaguars NewsJaguars News: Don’t expect them to be pursuing free agentsJacksonville Jaguars unlikely to pursue Carson Wentz despite Doug Pederson connectionJaguars RB Travis Etienne expected to have bigger impact in 20235 bonafide stars from the Jacksonville Jaguars 2022 seasonJacksonville Jaguars haven’t heard any Calvin Ridley news from the NFLAndrew Norwell took a slight step back in his first year in Jacksonville, seeing his overall grade dip from 76.3 in 2017 to just 66.7 in 2018. At the right guard spot, A.J. Cann is 4,136 snaps into his professional career, but he’s only graded above 70.0 in one of his four seasons.”"

Cann was a priority for the team as Jacksonville signed him to a new deal prior to the team’s deal with Nick Foles.

The Jaguars made finding a right tackle to play opposite Robinson a priority in the NFL Draft after the team released Jermey Parnell. The franchise also added pieces in free agency for depth, including re-signing Josh Wells and Tyler Shatley.

Norwell will be a player with a bullseye on his chest after the Jaguars shelled out $66.5 million over five years with $30 million in guaranteed money.

Robinson has not practiced yet after suffering a knee injury early in the season. Head coach Doug Marrone said the former second-round pick out of Alabama in 2017 will be on the field during training camp, but he did could not say when that would happen.
