2nd round value picks on defense

#1

Most would agree that the 4 areas of greatest need (in no particular order) for the Jaguars are LEO, Otto, free safety and cornerback. The only offensive position  which might be considered for this list is left tackle, however Caldwell seems satisfied with Joeckel for the time being. It is likely they will target these positions in free agency and then use their 1st 2 draft picks on whichever needs they are unable to address in free agency. It is not likely that they will be able to sign more than 2 or 3 high priced players in free agency (among Vernon, Irvin, Jenkins, Gipson and Mack), although they'll probably pursue some 2nd tier guys like they did last year (Skuta and Brown) who won't break the bank.

 

Caldwell's decisions on whom to target in free agency will depend a lot on the depth at these positions in the draft. If he's able to get a quality player in the 2nd round at one of these positions, it would not be as necessary to spend a ton of money on this position in free agency. Listed below are players who "might" be available in round 2 at these positions. I'm sure certain players could be added and probably a few on this list may not fit as well as others. That being said, here is the list.

 

LEO: Noah Spence (could also be OTTO)

OTTO: Darron Lee, Jordan Jenkins, Su'A Cravens, Scooby Wright

Free safety: Darian Thompson, Jalen Mills

Corner: Kendall Fuller, Eli Apple, William Jackson

 

Based on this list, it would seem the Jaguars may want to 1st target the LEO (Vernon) in free agency as Bosa will probably be gone before pick 5 and Spence is a question mark due to character. Hopefully Ramsay will be the 1st round pick so free safety will be taken care of. That leaves corner and OTTO and it looks like the OTTO will provide the best 2nd round value as all 4 of the possibilities would become instant starters. Therefore, they should target Janoris Jenkins after Vernon. I do expect them to sign Mack so that would make 3 high priced signings.

 

Which players would you add to those having value in round 2 and who is your favorite?
