Draft Sewell, ship off third rounder to Jets for Darnold.

1st Sewell OT

1st Horn CB

2nd Ford FS

2nd Shelvin DT

I agree on taking Sewell. He is a can't miss player who will protect the quarterback's blind side. Robinson does not deserve a big contract due to his mediocre play this season. The problem with Darnold is that he will need to be paid a lot of money after next season and he has not shown that he deserves it. I like Shelvin a lot if they plan to transition to the 3-4 defense. Horn and Ford are solid picks, but I'd prefer a tight end like Freirmuth with the 2nd pick. The free agent class is loaded with good safeties like Justin Simmons and Marcus Williams. Either of those two would strengthen the secondary significantly and would be worth a big contract.

The decision on quarterback will likely be a real conundrum for the new general manager. If Khan hires the right guy, it would not surprise me at all if they wait until their 2nd pick to take a q.b. Fields and Wilson may both succeed in the NFL, but both are too risky to take with the 2nd pick. We saw today the limitations of Fields and we really don't know how Wilson will fare when the competition level is much better than he has faced in college. His slight stature is another negative in taking him 2nd overall. If Mac Jones is available at the end of round 1, he might be worth taking at that spot. However, I would not consider the off-season a disaster if they could solidify both lines by adding quality talent. The Jaguars currently lack talent at many key positions and the first priority should be to improve as many position groups as possible. Gardner Minshew will never be a top 10 quarterback, but I believe he can win when surrounded by better talent. He was never as good as everyone made him out to be last season, but also not as bad as his critics claimed this season- especially since he was playing hurt. By defeating Indy in the first game, the opportunity to draft a potential generational quarterback was lost. Don't compound that by reaching for a quarterback, especially when Penny Sewell is there for the taking.
