I believe the Jags will end up around 3-13 or 4-12 with the third overall pick once again, possibly even the second.    If we are picking top 3, I am very confident that we trade down to a team looking to grab a QB, but for the sake of this mock, I won't do the trades (though the first round pick reflects who I think we will take after we trade down).

 

1,3:   Landon Collins, S, Alabama - So many mock drafts have us taking a pass rusher, but getting a quality safety to compliment Cyp is so much more of a need IMO.   Alternative pick here - Ifo-Ekpre Olomu CB, Oregon.

 

2,3:  Benardrick McKinney, ILB, Miss St:  We need an athletic, fast ILB to help with TE coverage over the middle.  Love this kid.  Great athleticism, great speed for his size (6'4, 250).   A hard-hitting, physical specimen who would buy into GB's motivation.

 

3,3:  Nick O'Leary, TE, FSU:   Great hands and a good blocker, we need a TE that can not only block, but is a threat over the middle and in the Red Zone.  Would prefer Devon Funchess from Michigan here but doubt hes avail in the third.

 

I doubt McKinney falls outta the first, but O'Leary a good blocker?  He's definitely a below average blocker...even for a college TE.  I'm a huge FSU fan, been watching the kid for years, but I don't think his talent will make it to the NFL.
