With Leonard Williams still on the board after the 2 QB's are selected.

<div style="margin:0px;font-size:22px;font-family:Michroma, sans-serif;text-align:center;">Amari Cooper

<div style="margin:0px;">
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);"><b>Analysis</b>: My guess is that most would have the Jags taking Leonard Williams here, and it could very well play out that way. But here's my thinking on this pick: Jacksonville was proactive in solidifying its defensive front this offseason by re-signing DEs Tyson Alualu and Derrick Morgan and adding DT Jared Odrick. Could they still take Williams? Absolutely. He'd be a great fit in head coach Gus Bradley's scheme and would give the Jags a talented, versatile and deep rotation along the defensive front in a division that includes Andrew Luck. But they could also add a true No. 1 receiver for second-year QB Blake Bortles in the hopes of giving him the best chance to succeed. That's what Cooper is, as he is as polished a WR prospect as you'll see coming out of college, with tremendous savvy as a route-runner and very good separation skills, ball skills and big-play ability.
