With the draft under two weeks away, power rankings from several different publications will be surfacing over the web over the next few days. Sports Illustrated recently posted some pre-draft rankings of their own this weekend and the Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t fare all that well in them. In fact, they came in at the very last spot due to all of the veterans they parted ways with this offseason.
32. Jacksonville Jaguars
It’s hard to believe the Jaguars were in the AFC championship game just two years ago. Trading DE Calais Campbell, CB A.J. Bouye and QB Nick Foles completed the restart, but head coach Doug Marrone and GM David Caldwell remain in place, for now.
The Jags will enter the draft needing to add more help around second-year quarterback Gardner Minshew II, which is another reason it’s easy to see why many aren’t high on them. However, the argument could be made that they still may be better than teams like the Cincinnati Bengals and Detroit Lions depending on who you ask.
The good thing for the Jags is that they have a chance to drastically improve their roster based on how they utilize their plethora of 2020 draft picks. At the moment, they currently have 12 picks in all, which gives them the ability to maneuver throughout the draft and land some really elite players.
