Ok, it's never going to turn out like this, but at least the simulator forces you to accept that some combinations aren't possible and to look around for interesting alternatives...


So this is my alternative draft, including s few names which haven't been talked about much yet...


3: R1P3

DE/OLB VIC BEASLEY

CLEMSON

it's hard to pick someone off-the-wall in this round, but how about this pass-rusher in a trade-down situation ?


36: R2P4

DT DANNY SHELTON

WASHINGTON

how about this wrecking ball if we missed out on Williams ?


67: R3P3

OT JAKE FISHER

OREGON

Already picked up a couple of times now, but could this be the right tackle we are looking for (and one who is used to zone blocking)


100: R4P4

RB JAVORIUS ALLEN

USC

If we aren't sold on Gerhart, this 220lb back could be the way to go...


131: R5P3

TE JEAN SIFRIN

UMASS

Regardless of who we get in free agency, Sifrin is a 6'7 monster !


164: R6P4

OLB XZAVIER DICKSON

ALABAMA

Speedy pass rusher


195: R7P3

FB JALSTON FOWLER

ALABAMA

The best FB in the draft, so what have we got to lose with a seventh round pick ?

BCC just posted a mock draft:

Round 1, Pick #3: USC DL Leonard Williams


This pick comes down to the two players I see as the two best talents in the 2015 NFL Draft: Leonard Williams and Randy Gregory. I lean Williams right now due to the sheer depth at edge rusher in this draft class. You can find multiple players who can replicate production from LEO later in the draft, but I doubt you can find a player to replicate Williams, who could legitimately play every spot along the defensive line and significantly improve both the run defense and pass rush.


Round 2, Pick #36: Clemson DL Vic Beasley


A lot of people are gonna see this as just another mock draft where I mock players I like and whatever, but I truly do think Beasley (who is one of my top-10 players) will still be available atop the second round. 230-pound pass rushers simply don't get drafted high. Despite that disadvantage, I still believe in Beasley as an NFL player. He's an upper-tier athlete and is truly one of the more advanced pass rushers I've graded in the last three years. In Jacksonville, he'd be on the Bruce Irvin plan Year 1. Come in to pass rush and get stronger for a bigger role in Year 2 and beyond.


Round 3, Pick #67: Miami TE Clive Warford


The Jaguars need a tight end more than they need any other position on offense outside of right tackle. Clay Harbor and Nic Jacobs are okay depth guys, but Marcedes Lewis simply looked done last year. I don't know if he comes back, but regardless, they need to find a replacement. Warford fits the Jaguars tight end mold (basketball build) and would contribute early on as an inline blocker and red zone weapon, two things the Jaguars have missed from their tight ends the last two seasons.


Round 4, Pick #100: Clemson ILB Stephone Anthony


Anthony has been a personal favorite of mine the last two seasons, and he fits what the Jaguars need in a inside linebacker. He is a heat seeking missile against the run, showing aggression, instincts, and strength. Unlike a current Jaguars linebacker that will not be named, he routinely makes plays at the line of scrimmage.


Round 5, Pick #131: Syracuse OT/OG Sean Hickey


Hickey is a player who is projected at a couple positions, which is what the Jaguars should be looking for in OL at this stage. The only starting spot open right now is right tackle, and I expect that to be filled through free agency. With Hickey, they get a talent upgrade at multiple backup OL spots, something they severely lacked this year.


Round 6, Pick #164: Syracuse FS Durell Eskridge


It wouldn't surprise me to see Eskridge's stock rise after the combine, but as of right now he's flying a bit under the radar. Josh Evans isn't an awful player, but he badly needs some competition at free safety, which is arguably the most important position in Gus Bradley's defense. Eskridge provides the size the Jaguars like at safety, being able to play both single high coverage and fill run alleys.


Round 7, Pick #195: Florida WR/KR/PR Andre Debose


As of right now, I think the chance Ace Sanders is on the Jaguars roster in 2015 is close to one percent. Caldwell recently praised nearly every draft pick but Sanders. He even openly stated the team expected more out of him, and it looks like he's soon to be the odd man out as he provides nothing as a punt returner and isn't worth seeing snaps as a receiver. Debose isn't much of a receiver, but at this point the Jags should look for specialists, and Debose could be one of the best in the draft, showing electrifying return skills throughout his college career.

Vic Beasley, round two ? Not sure if he'll fall that far...

Hes the best pass rusher in this class along with Beasley

I like Shane Ray better

I like Shane Ray better

I agree, that post was in Oct.

Most of the time, when I try this, the choice of a top pass rusher in the first round is an easy one, and it's down to personal preference. It could be Williams, Gregory, Ray, Fowler or A N Other...


The difficulty I find is in the second round.


If you want one of the top ILBs (ie Perryman or Kendricks) you have to select them here. And if you do that, you are looking at the third round before you can take an OT, severely limiting your choices.


It also means you can forget drafting one of the handful of decent TEs or Safeties. (Both seem to have a small class of desirable players this year)


Of course our needs will become a lot clearer once FA starts, but these mock draft simulators show that our front office have some difficult choices to make in April.

This never gets old. Just did a mock draft selecting

 

Rd 1: Leonard Williams - DE - USC

Rd 2: Cameron Irving - C - FSU

Rd 3: Tevin Coleman - RB - Indiana

Rd 4: Paul Dawson - ILB - TCU

Rd 5: Jesse James - TE - Penn State

Rd 6: D.J. Humphries - OT - Florida

Rd 7: Jermaine Whitehead - FS - Auburn

If you have a highly rated OL fall to you in the 2nd round, you have to take him over a LB IMO. Only exception is if we spend a lot of $ on a free agent to fill the RT spot. Even then, I could see them taking a center like Erving at the top of the 2nd if they have him rated high enough.

 

IMO, much better chance of finding a starting LB in the 3rd than an OL.

This is probably the best one I've seen yet, and the first 3 picks seem very possible, although I'd be somewhat surprised if Coleman falls that far

All that indicates is that we'll be addressing tackle and TE in Free Agency.

You're in the thread silly.

Agree, in the 2nd I think it comes down to Maxx Williams or a LB.  In the 3rd hopefully Holliman or Hackett will be there.
