31. [font=-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Arial,]Jacksonville Jaguars[/font]
Why they're ranked here: Both of Jacksonville's first-round selections -- cornerback [font=Georgia,]CJ Henderson (No. 9 overall) and defensive end K'Lavon Chaisson(No. 20 overall) -- generated value well below expectation this season. The most concerning of the two is Chaisson, as he finished sixth-to-last among all edge rushers in PFF grade this season at 49.7.[/font]
How their top pick fared: Henderson made a lot of noise in his NFL debut back in Week 1 with an 84.2 PFF grade, an interception and three pass breakups against the Indianapolis Colts. He was unable to find that kind of success again in 2020. The cornerback was limited to only seven more games in 2020 due to injury, and none of those seven single-game PFF grades came within 15 grading points of his Week 1 outing.
Best value pick: [font=Georgia,]Laviska Shenault Jr. (No. 42 overall) was the only positive rookie performer for Jacksonville this season. He flashed the same running back-esque elusiveness that we saw from him back in his days at Colorado, as his 16 broken tackles after the catch were eighth-best among NFL wide receivers. The second-round rookie tacked on six more broken tackles on 18 runs. There weren't really any "blow-up" performances from Shenault this season, but he was impressive at the catch point. His grade on contested targets was the 12th-best in the league, and his 72.2% contested catch rate ranked second.[/font]

Gotta love this final kiss goodbye from Dave Caldwell.
