4. Offensive Line

Last season (2018), the Jaguars offensive line was a revolving door due to injuries. The team surrendered 53 sacks. This past season, the team had its share of issues with penalties and pass protection, but gave up only 42 sacks on the season, goo enough for 18th in the NFL.

This is also an offensive line that blocked for a 1,100-yard rusher in Leonard Fournette. Quarterback Gardner Minshew in his mobility helped save drives and open up passing lanes outside the pocket. Next season, whoever is the quarterback to start the season, had better have better blocking up front.

Rookie right tackle Jawaan Taylor had the best season of any lineman and played on every snap. He figures to only get better. There is plenty of question at both guard spots and at left tackle.

The Jaguars will look to free agency to find veteran depth, but they should also look at one of the first four picks they have in the draft to bring someone to compete.
