1st round : Derrick Brown , IDL, Auburn

1 st round : A.J. Epenesa , EDGE, Iowa

2nd round : Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama

3rd round : Jordyn Brooks, ILB, Texas Tech

4th round : Albert Okwuegbunam,TE, Missouri

4th round : Michael Pittman Jr., WR, USC

5th round : Lamical Perine, RB, Florida

In my book, this would be close to the perfect draft for the Jaguars. Brown and Espinosa would be the ideal 1st round picks. While everyone loves Brown as the best guy to improve their run defense, Espenesa and Brooks would also help in this area. Espinesa could turn out to be a great replacement for Yannick; he may not be the natural pass-rusher that Ngakwoe has brought to the table, but he is much better against the run. His skill-set has brought comparisons to Cam Jordan and he is big enough to move inside on passing downs. He is definitely my first choice if he makes it to pick 20.

As far as the other picks, Pittman and Perine would be very good value picks and both could earn sigificant playing time next season. The selection of Brooks enables Jack to move outside where he belongs. Diggs would likely become a starter from day 1 and he has the size to cover bigger receivers (which Herndon does not).
Okwuegbunam's stock has dropped some since last season although he fared pretty well at the recent combine. I'd still try to trade for Hurst (one of their 2 4th round picks should get this done) since rookie tight ends rarely do great. 

To put this draft totally over the top, I would love to see the Jags get a late 1st rounder for Yannick (Seattle or Miami most likely) and get another playmaker at receiver. Justin Jefferson would be a great addition since Ruggs, Lamb and Jeudy will likely be gone. He and Pittman would help Minshew greatly.

I would sign up for your draft tomorrow and it would actually bring some hope to an otherwise depressing off-season.
