Grading Jaguars’ position groups on offense ahead of 2022 offseason

Grading Jaguars’ position groups on offense – Quarterback.

Last but not least is the Jaguars’ quarterback room. All things considered, this room may be the least responsible one for the offense’s inability to score more points last year. Drafting Trevor Lawrence first overall in 2021 was a no-brainer and the organization didn’t pass up the chance to take what was dubbed the best quarterback prospect in years. The former Clemson Tiger experience growing pains in his rookie campaign and made several throws that he wishes he could have back.

On the other hand, Lawrence displayed good pocket awareness and the ability to pull off every throw. His decision-making got better as the season progressed and once the pro game slowed down a bit for him. Every week, he made two or three throws that others wish they could attempt.

Due to Lawrence’s presence, the Jaguars won’t have to go into the season looking for a quarterback. Instead, they must make sure their young passer has a lot of weapons at his disposal and optimal protection upfront. They will need to upgrade his supporting cast.

C.J. Beathard is the Jags’ number two quarterback on the depth chart and hardly played in 2021, which is what you want from your backup. The 2017 third-round pick is slated to be a free agent in 2023, so the team may want to err on the side of caution and use a late-round draft pick to take a quarterback and start grooming him in case Beathard leaves.
