Impressions from the AFC South Draft thus far

I'm confused how one of the CBS Sports columnists ranked Houston's draft higher than the Jags?

Quote:Houston Texans
Given the big investments in Brock Osweiler and Lamar Miller, as well as the extraordinary body control of No. 1 receiver DeAndre Hopkins, first round pick Will Fuller should prove the perfect vertical threat complement. Houston only reinforced their splashy offseason with the selection of steady interior offensive lineman Nick Martin in the second round, silky smooth athlete Braxton Miller in the third and my favorite third down receiving specialist running back Tyler Ervin in the fourth.

When was the last time an offense in the NFL was so dramatically different in just one offseason? Watch out for heavy-hitting safety K.J. Dillon and developmental nose guard D.J. Reader to surprise, as well. I'm not as high as some on Fuller but there are some terrific schematic fits here for the Texans, earning them one of the top grades this year. 
Grade: A


Jacksonville Jaguars
For the third consecutive year, the Jaguars were able to remain in-state and nab a future star with Jalen Ramsey, who is an ideal fit as a press corner in coach Gus Bradley's scheme. The Jaguars look ready to pounce in 2016 with Ramsey being reinforced with stellar outside linebacker Myles Jack, who the Jaguars investigated thoroughly prior to the draft and traded up in the second round after the UCLA's product's dramatic fall.

Add in classic LEO defensive ends Yannick Ngakoue and Tyrone Holmes and three-technique defensive tackle Sheldon Day and the Jaguars once again are big winners... at least in April. If Jack proves healthy, this is the kind of draft that could push Jacksonville into the playoffs. 
Grade: A-
