Considering we're a smashmouth running team there's no reason to not add as many o lineman as possible.  Also, Brian Allen is just a flier pick considering 7th rounders usually don't pan out.


Norwell and Linder should be entrenched as starters. We just signed Norwell to a big money contract and Linder signed a huge extension which keeps him here through 2022. Are you comfortable with D.J. Hayden as the starting Nickle corner?

Yes I'm comfortable with Hayden , Patman, and Myrick battling for the nickle spot. Hayden at least gets a year to prove himself. There's no reason to try and draft his replacement so soon.

I'm not. I also believe QB is too high of a priority to wait until round 7 and IMO, I don't see Allen as a draftable prospect. 

I agree, but considering how your draft fell we never had a shot at the top6 other than trading up so it's pointless to overdraft a QB just to put one on the roster. The QBs outside the top6 are pretty much terrible so I don't see a need in drafting one.

I thought about drafting a Punter, but my own personal beliefs wouldn't allow me.

I almost took Facyson over the punter but Dickson seems like a clear upgrade over Nortman. Again, a sixth round punter is not that big of deal.

I don't believe in drafting Punters or Kickers. I believe you don't waste draft picks on those positions. Plenty of good ones can be found via UDFA.

On your draft, Hurst in the first would be a horrible pick. The guys 25 years old already. He may be the most polished TE but certainly not worth the 29th pick, maybe 61 but not 29.

I like Crosby in the second, that'd be a great pick.

Mike White is severely overrated , not a good pick.

Nickerson will be available in the 6th so meh.

Oren Burks would be great value in the 6th.

Have no opinion on your seventh rounders as that is the flier round in which those picks rarely make the team.

I think when we pick, Hurst will simply be the highest rated player on our board. I could care less about age. I think he'll be the top TE off the board, even if we don't pick him. It could be Goedert, but IMO, that's only if the Patriots are the first team to select a TE. 

Mike White is by far, the best of the 2nd tier QB's (outside of Mayfield, Rosen, Rudolph and Darnold.) It's not even close.

Nickerson is gonna go a lot higher than you think. Ballhawking corners with 4.32 speed don't normally fall to the 6th round.

Jacksonville Jaguars
Round Overall Player Notes
1 29 Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU
2 61 Ronnie Harrison, SS, Alabama
3 93 Traded to Green Bay
4 101 Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma from GB/CLE
4 129 Kenny Young, LB, UCLA
5 172 Toby Weathersby, G, LSU from GB
6 203 Kentavius Street, DE/DT, NC State
7 230 Levi Wallace, CB, Alabama from CIN
7 247 Riley Ferguson, QB, Memphis
The Jaguars are fortunate enough to watch other potential suitors pass up Sutton and allow him to drop to No. 29. He should quickly become the team's No. 1 receiver while scratching that Moncrief-type itch for a big target for Blake Bortles. If he gets singled up regularly with teams stacking the box against Leonard Fournette, watch out.

Harrison is a nice value late in the second round, and he could end up taking over for Barry Church in 2019, as cutting the veteran would clear his entire $6.25 million off the cap. The Jaguars then trade out of the third round, getting the first pick of Day 3 (No. 101) and a fifth-rounder (No. 172). Andrews is another pass-catching weapon to play behind new No. 1 tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Young gives the team an option for a third linebacker after Paul Posluszny's retirement.

Weathersby is an experienced right tackle who could be developed as a versatile reserve lineman. Street tore his ACL but is a worthy IR stash. Wallace is as hard a worker you'll find in the seventh round as a former walk-on-turned-contributor for the Alabama defense. Ferguson is a practice-squad option who could potentially develop into a No. 2 QB.

I don't project trades. They are too hard to predict.
