After trading up a few spots, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Day 2’s top player in the eyes of most draft analysts in Florida offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor with the No. 35 overall pick. His selection is one that addresses a huge need for the Jags as they had question marks at the right tackle position after letting Jermey Parnell go before free agency, and now he will look to battle both Will Richardson and Cedric Ogbuehi this summer for the starting job.
With left tackle Cam Robinson, center Brandon Linder and left guard Andrew Norwell all returning from season-ending injuries in 2019, Taylor could be the missing piece to take the team over the top in terms of the unit in the trenches. He could also be the missing piece to help the unit return to being the No. 1 rushing attack as they were in 2017 when they went to the AFC Championship.
As for his film, his sheer power in the trenches was evident as he dominated the competition in the Southeastern Conference.
That said, here are some 2018 highlights of Taylor:
Here are some film from 2017 as well.
