Round seven, selection No. 223: Kelly Bryant, QB, Missouri
If Nick Foles is traded as some feel, the Jags will be left with just two quarterbacks in Gardner Minshew II and Joshua Dobbs. That means another quarterback will need to be added in the coming months.
Kelly Bryant and Jalen Knox connected on two long pass plays yesterday in a win over SEMO. The Tigers were clicking on all cylinders. Watch more than 10 minutes of extended highlights from Mizzou's blowout win over SEMO.

After seeing how Minshew developed as a late-round quarterback, the Jags should take a late swing at the position again and see where it takes them. At 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, Bryant has good size and good arm strength and showed improvement throughout his week of practice at the Shrine Game. That may have been enough to make a team have interest in drafting him late come April.
