Jaguars Trade Back Twice, Select Anton Harrison
2 years agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars selected University of Oklahoma offensive tackle Anton Harrison with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft on Thursday night. The Jaguars originally held the 24th overall pick, but they traded back twice late in the first round to fall into the No. 27 spot. With left tackle Cam Robinson facing a performance-enhancing drug suspension to begin the 2023 season, Jacksonville gave themselves some insurance at offensive tackle by taking Harrison. The 21-year-old is versatile on the offensive line, so he could shift to right tackle when Robinson returns from his suspension. He stands at 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds and is extremely athletic. Harrison has all the skills, but the lack of a nasty streak at the position likely kept him from being drafted higher in the first round.
