The Jaguars need to protect Bortles better and open running lanes for the RBs on the team. Conklin is a power-gap scheme type of coach so the offensive line will need changes. And it would start with taking left OT Cam Robinson with the No. 3 overall pick.

Many in the scouting community are down Robinson for whatever their reasons are. But the 6’6″, 330 pounder has performed well against top SEC edge-rushers, namely Garrett, the No. 1 overall pick. So the fit here is natural for Coughlin, who likes his offensive linemen big.
