I wrote the following during the Combine period that I would like to share here,, now that Laviska Shenault Jr. was selected by the Jaguars. He's one of my favorite players in this draft, not just because of his impressive natural abilities. The Jaguars added a heck of a competitor and team player:

Kudos to Laviska Shenault for running the 40 and for doing the bench press drill, despite the groin injury. Not to mention Shenault playing through the injury, with the exception of the injury keeping him out for 2 games. Shenault's overall injury history is concerning, as he missed 3 games in the 2018 season. But from ability, production, versality, and competitive standpoints, Shenault has plenty of positives as an NFL draft prospect. The groin injury should be kept in mind regarding his 4.58 40 Time. Teams will have to look at the game tapes closely to see how fast, quick, and flexible Shenault looked when he was relatively healthy. With pick # 35 in Round 2, I think Shenault should at least be in the conversation for the Lions, if the team's medical people are satisfied.
