I also used Walterfootball.com's prospect rankings list to help guide me a bit once I got beyond the 5th round.

R1 P29: Calvin Ridley - WR - Alabama - 1st overall on Walterfootball.com
R2 P29: Billy Price - C - Ohio State - 1st overall on Walterfootball.com
R3 P29: Hayden Hurst - TE - South Carolina - 1st overall on Walterfootball.com
R4 P29: Kalen Ballage - RB - Arizona State - 8th overall on Walterfootball.com
R6 P29: Dalton Schultz - TE - Stanford - 4th overall on Walterfootball.com
R7 P12: Antonio Callaway - WR - Florida - 28th overall on Walterfootball.com
R7 P29: Sean Welsh - G - Iowa - 9th overall on Walterfootball.com

Just some quick thoughts and some reasons on my decisions. Ridley is a top ten or fifteen pick. He's a steal where I got him. With Robinson more than likely not coming back and no telling with Lee. Adding Ridley to the mix with Westbrook, Hurns and Cole seemed to make sense. Price is a good player. Gives us the option to move Linder back to G where he's probably better suited for the team. Or, Price can play G. Hurst in RD3 is a steal. He's probably the most ready to go and well balanced TE of this class. Ballage may be a physical freak. He's 6-2, 228 pounds and clocked a 4.46 40 time. He's got great size, power and speed and can also catch the ball out of the backfield. Doesn't have a lot of wear and tear on his legs coming out either. Could be a great steal and rotational back.

Schultz made sense to me in R6 this late. Even though I stole Hurst in RD3 I felt like I was robbing a bank with Schultz in RD6. If it's true that we're moving towards a more twin TE set on offense. Having him paired up with Hurst could be scary. And with Lewis not getting any younger it made sense to go a head and invest twice at the position. Especially with him still on the board. He's a great blocker. Apparently runs great routes and has above average hands. Could be a sneaky option in the receiving game once the run gets going. Callaway is a total dirt bag. But, when scouts are saying he has first round talent. And he's been compared to Antonio Brown. Couldn't pass up on him this late. If he's turned a new leaf. He's another steal.

No very little about Welsh. But he's versatile from what I've read about on him. He's played right tackle, some time at center and he's billed primarily as a guard. Should be a good depth player at best. And you can never have too much good depth along the trenches.

This would be a great haul for the Jaguars. The only change would be finding a nickel replacement for Colvin if he's not re-signed. It would be great if Ridley did fall that far and stranger things have happened. Hate to say it, but I also love the Callaway pick. They'd have nothing to lose taking him that late. If they did sign him, however, his contract would have to include a bonus for NEVER speaking to DeDe Westbrook. Can't believe them becoming friends would be good for anybody.
