Round three, selection No. 73: Cam Akers, RB, Florida State
Adam Schefter reported that the Jags placed Leonard Fournette on the trade block this weekend and that very well could mean the Jags have a plan in place to move on in 2020. Part of that plan should include selecting a tailback in the draft.
Cam Akers would be a good fit for the Jags after wowing many at the combine and putting together a solid career at Florida State (86 touches, 2,875 rushing yards, and 27 touchdowns) despite the mediocre talent on their offensive line. On film, his instincts, ability to cut, and ability to get yards after contact stand out.
Some believe he’ll be available in the third round, but even if he isn’t, the Jags have the ammo to trade up for him late in the second round.
