52. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Anton Harrison. 24. OT. Oklahoma. player

Not the flashiest pick for the Jaguars here, but when you find your franchise quarterback and running back, you have to go with the safe picks to protect them.

Trevor Lawrence proved to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL this past season and it’s clear he’s the future of the organization while Travis Etienne was one of the up-and-coming backs. These two guys need better blocking and Oklahoma’s Anton Harrison can help.

Harrison is a better pass-blocker than he is in the run game but that plays right into what the Jaguars like to do.

During his career at Oklahoma, Harrison gave up just four total sacks and looked like one of the most dependable linemen in the nation. He would be welcomed with open arms in Jacksonville by Lawrence.
