Quote:There is a lot of talk that the Titans may pass on a QB and take Leonard Williams with the 2nd Pick. In this mock draft, I am assuming that the Bucs take Winston with the 1st Pick, leaving Mariota available with the 3rd Pick.


Accordingly, the Jags make the trade with the Rams that the Titans pass on, that being: Picks 10, 41 ands 72 (Rds 1,2 and 3 picks) for Pick 3 and the right to draft their Franchise QB.


Mock Draft:


Rd 1(10): Ereck Flowers - ORT - Miami - 6'5" 324 Lbs


Flowers is big and nasty just what the Jags need for their ORT. Flowers could handle the OLT position if necessary and that is an important factor in this selection. So with this move the Jags line gets younger, but more talented.


Rd 2(36): Paul Dawson - ILB - TCU - 6'2" 230 Lbs


I remain very high on Paul Dawson as the No. 2 LB in this draft class that is not a pass rusher. I envision he plays in 3rd down and long pass defense packages and eventually he replaces Poz. I see him as a very active MLB and I take him over both Erik Kendricks of UCLA and Denzel Perryman of Miami, although I would be happy with either of these players if selected.


Rd 2(41): Duke Johnson - RB - Miami - 5'9" 206 Lbs


I believe when the dust settles, Johnson will become the Jags version of LeSean McCoy.


Rd 3(67) Chris Hackett - FS - TCU - 6'2" 195 Lbs


I really like Hackett over Anthony Harris as the FS Centerfielder that I start as a rookie - 75 TT - 7 Ints


Rd 3(72) Max Valles - OLB (Otto LB) - Virginia- 6'5" 240 Lbs


Tall and lean DE/OLB who recorded 55 TT and 9 sacks for Virginia. He will need some time but the talent is there.


Rd 4(104): Erick Dragan - SS - Oregon - 5'11" 212 Lbs


I like the idea of pairing Hackett and Dragan (93 TT and 7 Ints) as the two deep Safeties and then allowing Cyprien to pair with Dawson and Smith as the LB grouping.


Rd 5(145): B.J. Finney - C - Kansas State - 6'4" 303 Lbs


Depth at the Center position


Rd 6(184): Xavier Williams - DT - Northern Iowa - 6'3" 309


Depth at the 3 Tech DT spot - 93 TT and 8 Sacks as a Sr.


Rd 7(221): MyCole Pruitt - TE - Southern Illinois - 6'2" 255 Lbs
