Jaguars selected Missouri OT Javon Foster with the No. 114 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Javon Foster (6'5.5/313) was a 3-star Offensive Tackle from West Bloomfield, Michigan in the 2018 recruiting class. Foster, a team captain and 1st Team All-SEC honoree, possesses a desirable frame that offensive line coaches will deem sufficient for further development. He has a credible get-off at the snap while quickly and effectively identifying his assignments. Foster, 24, demonstrates sufficient athleticism with a 1.77s 10-yard split (83rd%), 32.5” vertical (94th%) for a decent 63rd percentile RAS. He has trouble staying centered over his feet correctly, often losing his weight on the post foot leading to imbalance in moving backwards and a loss of anchor. His discomfort with his kick necessitates significant investment in coaching. Nevertheless, when he is moving forwards, such as on pulls, he is effective in squaring up defenders and taking them out of the play. One can observe Foster’s demeanor in the way he blocks down, shoving his assignment into the middle of the field. The biggest factor in his all-conference honor was in the way he handled rushers on an island.
