NFL Draft Position-by-Position: Offensive lineman

The last of a seven-part series previewing the NFL Draft:

JAGUARS STATUS

The Jaguars enter the draft with only one locked-in-at-his-position starter: Right tackle Jermey Parnell. Brandon Linder (guard or center) and A.J. Cann (guard) will start and Kelvin Beachum is the favorite to start at left tackle. Twelve linemen are under contract.

LEVEL OF NEED

Moderate: If the Jaguars feel Linder is their center, expect them to use a mid-round pick on a guard to compete for a starting spot. If they’re looking for a center, it better be in rounds 2-4.
