With the Jacksonville Jaguars' initial 53-man roster set, what might the depth chart on offense look like heading into Week 1 of the regular season?
Here is our latest projection.
Quarterback
- Trevor Lawrence
- Quinn Ewers
The Jaguars acquired Ewers in a trade with Miami and then released Nick Mullens during roster cutdowns. Jacksonville did bring Mullens back on the practice squad.
Running back
- Bhayshul Tuten
- Chris Rodriguez
- LeQuint Allen
- Ameer Abdullah
I expect Tuten to be RB1 on the depth chart, but this will be a committee approach with Rodriguez and Allen factored in as well. With Allen sidelined for the latter portion of training camp, Abdullah can step into that heavy passing-down role at the running back position if needed.
Wide receiver
- Brian Thomas Jr.
- Parker Washington
- Jakobi Meyers
- Travis Hunter
- CJ Williams
- Josh Cameron
Thomas, Washington, and Meyers will be the top three options in the passing game with Hunter worked in, although how often early
remains to be seen. Between those four players and the Jaguars' tight ends, I'm not sure how much of Williams and Cameron we will see on offense.
Tight end
- Brenton Strange
- Nate Boerkircher
- Tanner Koziol
- Quintin Morris
Given how the summer played out, Koziol is ahead of Morris on the depth chart. Strange brings a well-rounded skill set to the position; Boerkircher is more of a blocker, and Koziol is a pass catcher. We will see a lot of Morris on special teams.
Offensive line
- Anton Harrison
- Emmanuel Pregnon
- Robert Hainsey
- Ezra Cleveland
- Cole Van Lanen
- Walker Little
- Wyatt Milum
- Jonah Monheim
- Daniel Faalele
From the sounds of it, Harrison will be sticking at left tackle. At the end of camp, Pregnon was the starting left guard, followed by Hainsey, Cleveland, and Little. Once Van Lanen is a full-go, he will step into the starting right tackle spot.
Little will be the first tackle option off the bench, and Milum can provide depth beyond that. Monheim is the backup center, while he, Little, Milum, and Faalele can all play guard as well.
