With Organized team activities (OTAs) almost here for the Jacksonville Jaguars, let's take a look at the current state of the team's depth chart on offense.
Offseason workouts have already been underway for the Jaguars for roughly the last month, but OTAs begin on May 26th. In this third phase of offseason programs, no contact can take place, but teams can do competitive team periods.
From a roster construction standpoint, it's been a relatively quiet offseason for the Jaguars. However, the departures of Devin Lloyd and Travis Etienne, along with the additions of Chris Rodriguez and 10 draft picks, could create some positional competitions that will take place over the summer.
Heading into the first OTA practice, here is the offensive depth chart and where things stand at each position group.
Aguilar will compete with Bradley for the third spot on the depth chart. For what it's worth, last year, Liam Coen rostered only two quarterbacks on the 53-man, while the third was on the practice squad.
With Tuten, Rodriguez, and Allen, the top of the depth chart is already established, and that trio may make up the running back room on the 53-man roster. That said, UDFA J'Mari Taylor may be a name to watch. The Jaguars often carried a fourth running back on the roster last season.
Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter account for four roster spots. CJ Williams and Josh Cameron, who were taken on Day 3 of the draft, potentially account for two more. Do these players make up the Jaguars' wide receiver room this season? Does Jacksonville keep a seventh wideout with Hunter playing both ways? Will Coen want some experience on the back end of the depth chart?
Boerkircher gives Coen the flexibility to utilize more three tight end sets this season. He could also push Morris for the blocking-heavy TE2 role. Koziol could push Long for playing time as a pass-catching target, and perhaps keep Long off the 53-man roster, unless the Jaguars go heavy at this position and keep five.
The addition of Pregnon adds size and competition to the offensive line. He could push either Cleveland or Mekari for playing time. This is also shaping up to be a position group where the Jaguars go heavy on the 53-man, keeping 10-plus linemen, unless there ends up being a surprise cut or trade.
