For Some, a salve to the offseason - Athlon's 2017 Pro Preview Is Out

#1

I know print is a dated, arguably obsolete medium.

Nevertheless, I remain a sucker for the preseason magazines.

The college books have already come out.

As of yesterday, the first of the NFL magazines have hit the stands with Athlon's 2017 pro preview.

The Jaguars related nuggets include:

A) There is a positional rankings sytem that ranks the players by position league wide. As you might imagine, no Jaguars are at the very top of any of these individual position rankings or in the top 50 overall rankings. Bortles rates as the 25th best QB, between Tyrod Taylor and Cutler. Brandon Linder ranked as the 9th best C. Malik Jackson ranked 16th among DTs. The Jaguars player with the highest ranking among players at his position was Calais Campbell, was Athlon's lists as the 5th best 3-4 DE. Telvin Smith was the 9th best 4-3 OLB according to Athlon's. But the rankings that may be most controversial to Jaguars fans are the CB rankings, where Jalen Ramsey ranks 8th overall right between Denver QBs Aqib Talib and Chris Harris, while Bouye was 15th overall.

B. The Jaguars are picked last in the division, with Tennessee being the favorites to win the AFC South.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
