While it appears they will roll with their starting five from last season, Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer said the team would look to add competition along their offensive line in last week’s pre-draft press conference. Some seem to think those statements eliminate the Jags from taking an offensive lineman in the top-3 rounds, which means the unit could be a focal point in Rounds 4-7.
One of the offensive linemen who could be on their radar is Texas A&M’s Carson Green, who Justin Melo of the Draft Network is reporting met with the Jags recently.
Texas A&M OL Carson Green recently met virtually with the #Giants for the second time. He also recently met with the #Titans, #Jets, #Falcons and #Jaguars.
Previously reported: #Steelers, #Cardinals and #Colts.

Green is a right tackle prospect with good size at 6-foot-6, 320 pounds. He also is a prospect who proved to have some solid athleticism during his pro day and registered a RAS of 8.29.
Carson Green is a OT prospect in the 2021 draft class. He scored a 8.28 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 196 out of 1134 OT from 1987 to 2021. https://t.co/cALw1GYz2l #RAS via @Mathbomb pic.twitter.com/mkE23L4Qo0

Green was invited to the Senior Bowl this offseason, however, he struggled a bit while there, according to Pro Football Network. Here is what they had to say about the young Aggie:
“Green comes in near the middle of the pack, along with his Texas A&M teammate. He wasn’t of detriment to his line, but he was still fairly inconsistent. On Thursday in particular, he struggled to strike with solid contact, and balance and block sustainment remained issues throughout the week. Green can move fairly well for his size, and he has solid upside with his physical makeup. That said, he didn’t quite put things together by the week’s end.”
Sounds like a perfect prospect to land as a developmental offensive lineman.
In terms of his projections, there are some mocks with Green being selected in the sixth and seventh rounds. The Jags’ latest selection is No. 251 and that might be the spot to take him if they don’t want to take their chances on acquiring him in undrafted free agency.
