Takeaways from Jaguars' Day 2 picks in 5-round mock draft
- Defensive tackle is the biggest need the Jaguars have. Addressing it right away would be a huge plus -- although, in part, that will be dictated by how the board falls.
- As we discussed earlier this offseason, tight end is an under-the-radar need for the Jaguars. This pick also highlights the flexibility that James Gladstone has in this year's draft.
- With Devin Lloyd now in Carolina, the starting spot next to Foye Oluokun is up for grabs. And while GM James Gladstone seems bullish about the talent already on the Jaguars' roster at linebacker, particularly Ventrell Miller, adding some additional competition wouldn't be a bad thing either.
- Re-signing Montaric Brown stabilized the cornerback position for the Jaguars, but this is still a position we likely see the Jaguars add to.
- Pick 124: Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State
- Pick 164: Caleb Douglas, WR, Texas Tech
- Pick 166: Patrick Payton, EDGE, LSU
Takeaways from Jaguars' Day 3 picks in 5-round mock draft
- A lot of mock drafts have the Jaguars picking a running back in the third or fourth round range. I don't doubt that they could make a pick at this position, but with Chris Roriguez, Bhayshul Tuten, and LeQuint Allen on the roster, I do question whether the Jaguars make that selection this early.
- Jacksonville's pursuit of Jake Bobo told us that they are still interested in adding to the wide receiver position.
- Ideally, the Jaguars would address EDGE rusher before the fifth-round. This should be a position they double-dip at to increase competition on the back end of the depth chart as much as possible.
