2020 NFL Draft: Day 2 Jaguars mock draft

With 2020 NFL Draft set to resume in a few hours, here’s a look at who the Jaguars could – and perhaps should, get with their Day 2 picks.

The Jacksonville Jaguars had an excellent start to the 2020 NFL Draft, taking C.J Henderson and K’Lavon Chaisson with their first two picks to bolster the defense. Despite adding two top-15 talents last night, there is still plenty of improvement to be made on the Jaguars’ roster.

General manager Dave Caldwell has 10 remaining 2020 picks at his disposal this weekend, but only two of them are scheduled for tonight. The Jaguars pick at No. 42 and No. 73, but with the sheer quantity of Day 3 picks in their possession, that could well be subject to change.

If the Jaguars do just stick with the picks currently scheduled then there’s no reason that they shouldn’t expect to find starters with both picks. Here are two players who could make an immediate impact next season:

42. Kyle Dugger, Safety, Lenior Rhyne

Many will not be expecting the Jaguars first three picks to all be on the defensive side of the ball, but the fact no safeties have been taken means there could be some elite talent available at the position when the Jags are on the clock in Round 2.

During his time at Lenior Rhyne, Kyle Dugger looked head and shoulders above his opposition. It will be interesting to see whether he will be able to maintain this level of dominance against NFL talent, but his rare combination of size, speed, and explosiveness could make him an important chess piece in Jacksonville’s defense.

73. Devin Duvernay, WR, Texas

With any one of the Jaguars’ three previous picks they couldn’t be blamed for wanting to invest in a receiver. Thankfully, there is enough depth at the position for the Jaguars to snag a role-player at No. 73.

Devin Duvernay isn’t the biggest receiver at 5-foot-10, 200-pounds, but he has some of the best hands in this class. With D.J. Chark Jr. establishing himself as a legitimate number one receiver last season, Duvernay will be able to find mismatches on the inside and make consistent plays on the there. His innate ability to extend plays after the catch will take some of the pressure off Gardner Minshew and could establish the former Texas Longhorn as a consistent outlet early.
