WR Justin Jefferson, LSU

Another LSU player? Yup, and this one’s equally as good.

Justin Jefferson’s 2019 was very similar to Kristian Fulton. Both are super solid prospects with high upside and similarly high floors to match, however, both were outshined by younger players in their final seasons in Baton Rouge. For Fulton, it was Stingley, for Jefferson, it was Ja’Marr Chase.

Jefferson is a super crafty route-runner. Some had worries regarding his athleticism but luckily Jefferson answered those questions when he put on a show in Indianapolis at the NFL Scouting Combine. The Tiger posted a Relative Athletic Score (RAS) of 9.69 out of 10, planting a flag in the ground as one of the draft’s best athletes.

As of this moment, I don’t see Jacksonville attacking the corner position with the ninth overall selection. The team seems to generally like their receiving group and in such a deep class at that position, it may be smart to wait. However, I think Jefferson at No. 20 makes a ton of sense. He’s a crafty route-runner and would give Gardner Minshew II that short to intermediate target that this team has lacked.

Basically, he’d be the new Allen Robinson for the Jags, and if Dave Caldwell feels the same way, he could be their guy with their second first-round selection.
