This selection would be a lot of fun. With the young Gardner Minshew II coming back for his second season, the team now has to look at ways to help their developing signal-caller.

D.J. Chark Jr, Chris Conley, and Dede Westbrook were a solid trio in 2019, but in a deep receiver class, the Jaguars could look to take advantage of some of the premier talents at the top. For Jacksonville, no receiver makes more sense than Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb.

While the team certainly has speed in the receiver room, it lacks physicality and a true red-zone threat. Those would be Lamb’s specialty. While Lamb isn’t necessarily bigger than some other Jags’ receivers, it’s his skill set that would mesh so well with the current receiving corps.

Chark has become the deep guy for Minshew as the two developed awesome chemistry together in 2019. Westbrook is a great slot option, turning small gains into big ones. That leaves room for Lamb to flourish at the x-receiver spot where he could be a safety valve and intermediate threat. Simply put, that makes him perfect for the No. 9 selection.
