The Jacksonville Jaguars have a problem on their hands now that the first week of free agency is over.
Their top offensive tackle is no longer on the team in Jawaan Taylor, as he accepted a deal from the Kansas City Chiefs. This leaves a huge hole the Jaguars have to fill. But, one former Jaguars player thinks fans of the team shouldn't worry.
The Jaguars have made little to no moves during free agency. If they have made a move, it has been re-signing guys that were on the squad last season. Other than that, all they have done is let guys walk, like Taylor.
But, former Jaguars tight end Clay Harbor thinks the solution to the Jaguars' new offensive line problem is already within their reach.
"Walker Little can do everything Jawaan Taylor can do, and he's cheaper," Harbor said on Twitter.
Little was drafted two years ago, with the Jaguars' second-round pick in the 2021 draft. He has played just under 500 total offensive snaps in the last two years, so it's safe to say he hasn't gotten the number of reps he has maybe hoped for.
But, he has started six games for the Jaguars, so that won't be unfamiliar territory for the 23-year-old tackle if he were to get thrown into the role in 2023.
Harbor may be on to something though. He allowed just 13 pressures last season in 135 pass-block snaps. Now with two seasons under his belt, he can go into the offseason workouts with more confidence. He is super young and has shown a ton of potential.
Maybe he could be right.
But, as of right now, we still don't know. Little hasn't really gotten to play enough to display that he can be that guy. If the Jaguars take a guy in the draft early on, I think that will give us a little more information on where they stand with Little and his progress or position on the team.
