3. Jacksonville Jaguars

Speaking of teams looking to rebuild, the Jacksonville Jaguars are trying to wipe 2021 out of their history books. After a brutal experience with Urban Meyer, the franchise is ready to move on. Jacksonville may be willing to send a third-round draft pick and a player from the roster to Dallas to help secure protection for Trevor Lawrence. The Cowboys’ tackle certainly did so for Dak Prescott.

In addition to protecting the young quarterback, Collins could also improve the run blocking to help relieve some pressure from Lawrence and the passing game. Jawann Taylor is about to enter the final season of his rookie contract and he’s yet to show the Jags that he is capable of being an excellent starter. The hope is that if the situation around Lawrence improves, the young thrower can finally get his chance to prove that he is the once-in-a-generation talent he was touted to be.

The Jags tagged left tackle Cam Robinson, but that’s no reason to not go after a right tackle to improve the line as a whole. When healthy, Collins is a guy that has the power to make a huge difference on any offense.
