Yea, the Jaguars 2016 draft class could eventually be ranked in the all-time top 10, maybe even top 5. It is way too early to know for sure, but if the top 3 picks can stay healthy for most of their careers they have to be part of this discussion. As of now, my rankings would be:

1. 1974 Steelers- No other draft class had 4 eventual HOF players- Swann, Lambert, Stallworth and Webster. Enough said.

2. 1965 Bears- Butkus and Sayers were both taken in the 1st round. 

3. 1996 Ravens- Ogden and Ray Lewis, also both in round 1. 

Other classes deserving consideration are the 1985 Bills ( Bruce Smith and Andre Reed) and the Packers draft which landed several NFL greats including Jim Taylor and Jerry Kramer. 

Rankings like this are very subjective, but still fun to do. I say the ceiling for this class would be 2nd of all-time, right behind the Steelers. In order for that to happen, all 3 must stay relatively injury-free and lead the team to multiple playoff wins- including a Super Bowl victory.
