9. Jacksonville Jaguars – Derrick Brown, IDL, Auburn
Previous pick: Isaiah Simmons, LB/S, Clemson
Analysis: While the Jaguars won’t have the option of teaming up Simmons with Myles Jack like in the first mock draft, they will have the option of giving Jack another dominate presence up front to take heat off the former UCLA linebacker.
Brown is an absolute terror on the interior of the defensive line, and he’s the perfect candidate to replace some of the run defense production left behind by the departed Marcell Dareus, who was released earlier in the offseason.
The difference? Brown will also be an impactful player getting after the quarterback.
