For the past few months, many have been under the assumption the Jacksonville Jaguars would be taking an offensive tackle with their first overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

However, on Tuesday, the Jaguars used their franchise tag on left tackle Cam Robinson. It’s a curious move if the Jaguars intend on taking an offensive tackle at the top of the draft, because now they’re paying Robinson $16.
