With nearly 4 months until the draft, it looks like the Jaguars will have several good options. There are strong cases to be made for the following:

 

1. Jonathan Allen- Great college player who should be a difference maker regardless of how he is utilized on the defensive line.

2. Malik Hooker- Could possibly be the best player who comes out of this draft. If they think he's the next Ed Reed, take him and cut your losses with Gipson.

3. Jamal Adams- Cyprien may be gone to a team that will overpay him and Adams is a much more complete player. In this scenerio, they keep Gipson and hope he 

                            plays like the guy who made the pro bowl in Cleveland.

4. Tim Williams-  2nd best pass-rusher after Garrett, although may be too small as a defensive end. 

5. Derek Barnett- Very productive pass rusher, but will this translate to the NFL.

 

This list does not include any offensive linemen, quarterbacks or running backs since the value would not be there, although there's no denying the talent of Cook and Fournette.

 

Caldwell will have a very tough choice, including possibly trading back a little if he feels one of these guys will still be on the board. The best chance for this is if two quarterbacks emerge following the combine and personal workouts and only one of those is taken before the Jaguars' pick. This would enable the Jags to get an extra 2nd rounder at the least.  I would love to see this happen with the choices being:

 

Rd. 1  (still top 10 pick)- Jamal Adams 

Rd. 2 : Dan Feeney (or Elflein from Ohio State) and Pat Mahomes

Rd. 3: Taylor Moten or best tackle available.
