In the spirit of April Fools Day, here's a potential draft class for the Jaguars that is so good that if it were held today, people would say, " Is this an April Fool's joke?"
Rd. 1: Solomon Thomas- Very unlikely, but still possible.
Rd. 2: Cam Robinson- Baggage drops him to 2nd.
Rd. 3: Sammy Perrine- Not Fournette, but very powerful and a steal here.
Rd. 4: Adam Shaheen- May have most upside of all the tight ends except Howard and Njoku.
Rd. 5 Damontae Kazee- Very deep cornerback class drops him to 5th, but amazing value for future starter at nickel.
Rd. 6 Chad Kelly- Character issues drop him here. Has potential.
Rd. 7 Jon Toth- Can make team as backup center or guard.
This draft gives the Jags potential upgrades at 5 starting positions and at least 2 possible pro-bowlers of the future (Thomas, Robinson). Add in the potential of Shaheen and Kazee and you have a draft that is so good others would say it, " I know, this is an April Fool's joke."
What is your "too good to be true" draft? Remember, it must be a possibility so please no Fournette in the 2nd or Tabor in the 5th.
I'll do the same by using my actual Fanspeak mock draft. It's just so good it's worth re-posting even though it will never happen...
1.4. DE Solomon Thomas, Stanford
2.35. CB Marcus Lattimore, Ohio State
3.68, G Dion Dawkins, Temple
4.110. TE Lance Jordan Leggett, Clemson
5.148. RB Kareem Hunt, Toledo
6,187 QB Jerod Evans, Texas A&M
7.222. FB Freddy Stevenson
7.240. NT Stevie Tu'ikolovatu

Taco, Corn, and Fish. Sounds like a school lunch menu. Also this name sounds like one of those fake names you make up when you look at something and go... "My name? It's... Door. Door Computerman." Also try to say the name five times fast.

Yea, I could see these 4 guys becoming real tight with each other since they have so much in common. This would be a great draft for the Bengals or Raiders since they typically don't worry at all about drafting high-character guys. You should have added Sprinkles in the 5th since shop-lifting wasn't covered with the previous 4 picks.

I know.. I thought that sounded wrong when I typed it, but I even double checked what it said.
It's Jordan Leggett.

Scratch Mixon and draft Foreman or McNichols.
I prefer Mixon as a talent over those two. Character wise, he's an [BLEEP], but I would be willing to take that gamble with my third rounder I grabbed in a trade down.
