How important is Kelvin Beachum for the Jaguars offense?

Beachum is the player who can take the offense from "emerging" and "good" to "great" and "elite".

By Zach Goodall

On a team filled with talent at every offensive skill position, it’s hard to decide who the outright most important offensive player is.

But, the funny thing is, if you don’t include quarterback Blake Bortles (because QB is the clear-cut most important on any team and that would be unfair), none of the Jaguars’ offensive skill guys are as important as Kelvin Beachum — the team’s new left tackle…

…to me, at least.

This isn’t a knock on any of the other members of the Jaguars’ offensive core: Allen Robinson is a Pro Bowler and a serious threat down the field; Allen Hurns is emerging as a top-tier possession receiver who can extend the field; Julius Thomas is another Pro Bowler who thrives in the red-zone — and so on.

All of these guys are top notch performers who are keys to this team’s success, but I think the player who can take the offense from “emerging” and “good” to “great” and “elite” is none other than Beachum.
