Consensus Mock Draft - Pick 24 Jacksonville Jaguars

[goldfishwars]

Why not, let's give this a go with combine and the major free agency moves in the book. 

Rules:

There are two polls - your first choice will count as 2pts, your second as 1pt. If players have the same score after 24 hours, the pick will go to the player with the most first place votes. 

I will take poll options from the website below, which aggregates all media big boards - so if your guy isn't on the board, don't blame me.

Your vote can be who you would take, or who you think the team will take - it doesn't matter.

Like the Vikings pick, I'm going with the best players left on the board- Branch and Bresee.

[Daniel]

I think the Jags would be crazy to not draft someone to help out their budding QB.  I know they get Ridley this year, but Mayer should be considered in this range.  I guess Quentin Johnston is the backup, though I probably should have just made it Darnell Washington or Dalton Kincaid.

Are weapons really the issue in Jacksonville? Engram, Kirk, and Etienne all had very good seasons. Zay Jones had his moments. They'll have Ridley.

I voted Bresee and McDonald. They need more pass rush. This is a deep TE draft so they can wait a bit to backup Engram. 

[kingseanjohn]

As of today, the Jags have 4 WR, 1 TE, 2 OT, 1 OG, 1 C, 2 DE, and 1 DT under contract in 2024. The other position's depth is filled well enough imo. Give me BPA between OL and DL here.

I went Bresee/Schmitz.

Still wild to see the Jags picking this late

We got 4 wrs and 2 solid tes.  Only option for skill offense is te cuz Farrell is unproven.

I would go with branch cuz he'd be a fine NB.  If it's not him I'd go will McDonald cuz Allen's a free agent and we need an 3rd edge rusher.

Bresee is literally a new taven Bryan. High end traits very lil production. 

We need a new NB cuz Herndon should not be a cb3.

I didn’t even look at needs or poll results. Branch was BPA by a wide margin. 

[Ozzy]

Their biggest need is a slot corner so possibly Antonio Johnson who could also be a safety.  I would go with that,  Forbes maybe but Antonio Johnson is a better tackler with slot experience and kind of a hybrid guy.  Actually I switched and in this situation I would go with Darnell Washington, gives a pass option and a super powerful run blocker.  

 

Mayer or Dawand Jones would be interesting as well but Washington is legit but I have Mayer originally in my own since Washington I have going to Detroit.  

 

Some have safety but they already go Cisco and Jenkins then Wingard behind them.  Slot CB is a way bigger need to me for them.  Their starting CBs are good but anyone behind Campbell and Williams I would not really trust.  Siaki Ika or Mazi Smith would be very interesting as well especially with the loss of Peters on the DL.  Clark Phillips III as a slot guy is another option but might be too high for him.

Lawrence makes players look better than they are. It’d be nice for Lawrence to actually have an elite receiver

Brian Branch?

[flgatorsandjags]

Where is Foskey?  I would go Branch or Foskey here.  Then Washington or Mayer

CB3 and WR4 when there are legitimate question marks on the OL?
