Jacksonville Jaguars 2017 NFL Draft: Upgrades to help running and passing attacks

In 2016, the Jacksonville Jaguars offense was predictable and lethargic. The Jaguars ranked twentieth with an average of 233 yards per game. The rushing attack averaged 101.2 yards/game due to offensive line and running back injuries. As a result, the Jaguars must upgrade at running back and wide receiver to become strong contenders to the AFC South crown.

Jacksonville traded for left tackle Branden Albert. They re-signed lineman Patrick Omameh and signed ex-CFL lineman Greg Van Roten. As a result, the offensive line may have been stabilized.

T.J. Yeldon rushed for 465 yards and a touchdown last season.
