This site ranks the draft classes 1-32...or 32-1.

The Jaguars ranked 22nd.




I can understand this ranking on its face.  But there's a lot I don't and can't understand.

  What I can't understand at ALL is ranking our draft below Houston's.

In every single one of his 34 or so mock drafts, he had Trevor Lawrence-the Jaguars 1st draft pick-mocked to go 1st overall.  I don't recall him ever mocking Davis Mills in the first round.  By his own admission, he had Tyson Campbell ranked as a first round talent.  Nobody in the Texans draft was ranked as a first round talent by his own ranking system.  Even if he felt Etienne was taken a full round above where he should have been taken, by his own takes, the Jaguars have at least three players who carry a minimum of a second round grade.  Houston didn't.  His favorite pick for the Texans is a TE that ran a 4.9 40 at his own Pro Day.  If you examined our draft, there are at last three players, perhaps four who would likely start for Houston immediately{  Lawrence, Etienne, Campbell and Cisco.  Do any of the Texans draft picks start for us-as a 1-15 team?  Probably not.

They have the Ravens and the Chargers ranked near the bottom. This is an outlier.

To be honest, I'm not thrilled with the Ravens draft this year.

But based upon many of the criteria that Wilson himself established, there's no justification for the rankings.

Jacksonville wound up with nearly double the picks Houston did (9-5).  We picked five players before the Texans picked one.  Aside from their picks not likely to start for our team, they aren't even likely to start for their team.
