Winners, losers after Jags’ 2020 NFL Draft haul

While Gardner Minshew didn’t get any immediate starters on the offensive line, he did get some threats at receiver to help him in 2020.

Guards A.J. Cann or Andrew Norwell (in 2021)

The Jags like to prepare in advance to move on from a veteran (like most teams do) and the addition of fourth-round pick Ben Bartch could lead to that. While they view him more as a project for now, in 2021, he could be ready to start.

The team has come out to say they will try him out at both guard and tackle, but for my money, I’d say guard may be the spot for him despite his solid height (6-foot-6). The reason for that is because A.J. Cann has an out in his contract next year and Norwell won’t be getting any cheaper as he is set to be a cap hit of $15 million next season.

Of the two, Cann would be the cheapest to move on from, and if Bartch is where they want him to be Year 2, he may be replacing him over Norwell.
