Banks Jr. would be hard to pass up if the Patriots do not take him. Carter and McMillan are both intriguing here too. This is also a sweet spot for a trade down too.

So many options here.

I agree that the Jaguars should have several very good options at pick 5. As you said, crazier things have happened than Hunter falling to the Jaguars. If that happens, I run to the podium and select the best player in this draft class. If he is gone, the Jaguars could do much worse than staying put and selecting the best DT (Graham) or Will Johnson as the 2nd cornerback. Both should be very good players in the NFL and capable of being selected to multiple pro bowl lists. That being said, I'd still have to listen to trade offers and would gladly agree to swapping first round picks with another team in the top 10 with the Raiders (6) or Jets (7) being the likely candidates if they don't sign a free agent quarterback. The Jaguars would insist on a 2nd rounder from the Jets in this deal and no worse than a 3rd from the Raiders since the Jaguars would still get their top guy if they had stayed put at 5. By getting that extra 3rd, I'd definitely use that at some point to trade back up into round 2 if there is a player they desperately want to have.
