OLB Josh Allen – No. 8, Jaguars

Allen was the player many thought the Jets would pick with the third overall selection given the team’s clear hole on the edge, but instead, the Jaguars benefited from Allen’s slippage to No. 8. He proved to be one of the best young pass rushers in the league in 2019. 

Allen led all rookies with 10.5 sacks in 16 games despite only playing in 60 percent of the Jaguars’ defensive snaps and finished 14th among all defensive players. Allen also tallied 11 quarterback hits and forced two fumbles.
