Top 105 2021 NFL Draft Prospects

The Jaguars had a gajillion picks last year and did … meh. It’s early, but no one has stood out and the team needs first rounders CB CJ Henderson and DE K’Lavon Chaisson to turn into stars. There’s no excuse this time around. They’re getting the one of ones, the prospect of prospects, and the guy who has the ability to take the entire franchise and make it his. Trevor Lawrence is the quarterback we’ve waited three years for, and now he’s here.

There are SO many picks that there’s room to move around and get even better picks. They need a little bit of help everywhere to help Lawrence out right away, and it starts with landing a receiver that’s sure to slide – it’s a deep class; one of the stars will be there – to the 25. The real fun, though, should be at the 33 – the first pick in Round 2.

This is where Jacksonville can clean up. Someone will desperately want the 33, and if the Jags really do want a receiver, they might trade away the 25 for a big haul of talent and assume a good target will be there with the first pick in the second. Or, trade away that 33 and load up on even more picks for Urban Meyer to play around with.

TEAM NEEDS

Defensive Line

The interior of the defensive line in Jacksonville leaves a lot to be desired. They had issues on the inside against the run for the latter part of the 2019 season. The Jags’ defense needs to upgrade the defensive tackle position to help stiffen up against the run. Derrick Brown of Auburn should be a top target for the Jags.

Tight End

The team added Tyler Eifert in the offseason but he has his own issues with availability. Last season Eifert appeared in 16 games for the first time in his career and the most since 2015 when he played in 13 games. The team can’t bank on him staying healthy for all 16 games. Although there isn’t a first round worthy tight end, day two is a spot to begin looking for one.

Cornerback

The team is looking to upgrade the position since trading away former first-round pick Jalen Ramsey. Currently their projected starters are Rashaan Melvin and DJ Hayden. The team could definitely use more than one cornerback most likely and plenty of selections available to address it.

TOP TARGETS

Derrick Brown | DL | Auburn

Javon Kinlaw | DL | South Carolina
