4. Jacksonville Jaguars- Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss

The jury is still out on former first-round pick Luke Joeckel and without signs of improvement the Jaguars could be looking for a new left tackle. Joeckel has the talent to be a strong pass protector but has yet to find consistency.

His struggles in the run game also don’t really fit the style of head coach Gus Bradley. If a change is to be made the 2016 draft provides a perfect opportunity.

This year’s draft features two high-end offensive tackle prospects in Ole Miss’s Laremy Tunsil and Notre Dame’s Ronnie Stanley. Tunsil is the pick in this scenario because he’s a more fluid athlete and offers more upside.
