Nice breakdown for preferences each round. I can't remember a draft in which I'd be happy with so many players in the first round. If the Jaguars took any of these guys I'd be fine with it: This list includes (not in any order):

Fuaga
Fautanu
Verse
Latu
Mitchell
DeJean
Arnold
Murphy
Thomas

All of these guys play a position of immediate need with the possible exception of the offensive linemen, who might not start on day 1 but their talent would soon make them a starter. As far as rounds 2-7, one guy I'd love to have at 48 is Keon Coleman. His lack of great speed could cause him to drop that far behind guys like Worthy, Pearsall and McConkey. His ability to make contested catches at 6'4" would enable him to immediately help Trevor and the offense. While he doesn't get great separation, I believe he plays faster than his 40 times indicate.

Due to the high number of players in this draft who could make a great difference immediately, my preference would be to move back from pick 17 and acquire another 2nd rounder. If they only move back 5 spots or less, they'd likely only get a 3rd, but could use that pick to get back into round 2. I believe any of the combinations of players listed below would be preferable to staying put at 17 or moving up to get Odunze or Nabers.

Rd. 1 pick (via trading back 3-8 spots):

Latu
McKinstry
DeJean
Wiggins
Verse

Rd.2 ( get 2 of these players after trading back once or twice)

O.Line: JPJ, Frazier, Morgan

Receiver: Coleman, Worthy, Pearsall, McConkey

DL: D. Robinson, Kneeland, Jenkins, Fiske, Orhorhoro

Cornerback: Rakestraw, Tampa


Any of these combinations of 3 would exciteme the most and they could add another offensive lineman and cornerback later on.
