Help on the offensive line is pretty high on the list of priorities for the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason. The good news is that they should be able to find a solid interior offensive lineman with their second-round pick if that’s what they want to do.

Indiana’s Dan Feeney missed some time this season due to a concussion, but his career with the Hoosiers speaks for itself. Feeney blocked for the likes of Tevin Coleman and Jordan Howard at Indiana, creating some big rushing lanes for his running backs. He also rarely gives up pressure in pass protection.

An offensive guard isn’t going to get fans excited, but Feeney is a solid draft pick here.

player. 57. . CB. Ohio State. Gareon Conley. 36

Even after taking Jamal Adams in the first round, the Bears could keep bolstering their secondary. After all, they do play in the same division as Aaron Rodgers, so adding as many talented defensive backs as possible is probably a good move.

Ohio State’s Gareon Conley does a great job of shadowing his assignment, rarely getting beat off of the line of scrimmage. He has great ball skills and nice athleticism to help him make plays all over the field.

Conley could still afford to add some weight to his frame, but there’s a lot of positives to his game that will translate to the NFL.
