2017 NFL Mock Draft: Post Week 1 Update
By Jon Dove
10. Jacksonville Jaguars- Cam Robinson, OL, Alabama
There’ll be a lot of disappointed people if the Jacksonville Jaguars are picking in the top-10 of the 2017 NFL Draft. However, the people who create the ESPN Power Rankings weren’t too impressed with the team’s ability to hang with the Green Bay Packers.
If the Jaguars are drafting this early they could look to add some help along the offensive line. They currently have Kelvin Beachum and Jermey Parnell as their starting tackles but their long-term future is far from solidified.

Beachum is in the first year of a unique contract that could either turn into a long-term deal or end after the season. Parnell is a solid veteran but is far from an elite player.
Alabama’s Cam Robinson has the physical tools to develop into a franchise left tackle and be equally as effective on the right side. He’d represent a long-term answer at either position while giving the team another young building block.
The Jaguars could also look to continue to build their linebacker corps by selecting Alabama’s Reuben Foster. He’d be a younger and more athletic replacement for Paul Posluszny. This would give them three top-end linebackers in Foster, Telvin Smith and Myles Jack.
