  1. Jacksonville Jaguars

Vernon Hargreaves – Cornerback – Florida

The Jaguars need linebacker help but they need corner help even more. The ideal situation for Jacksonville would be to see Jalen Ramsey still on the board but that may not happen. Hargreaves has improved his stock at the NFL Combine and while 5th overall is way too high for him in my opinion, stranger things have happened in the NFL.

The Jaguars lack real competition in the secondary and Hargreaves is a cross state product that the Jaguars are familiar with. He is fluid and can handle both man to man coverage and zone. Hargreaves is getting a lot of press lately clearly upping his stock.

If the Jaguars opt to go in another direction it’s likely they will try and trade down. The problem is the two elite prospects, Bosa and Ramsey could be gone which limits their trading ability. They could also go outside linebacker here but Dante Fowler should be back in 2016 at 100% after suffering a pre-training camp season ending knee injury as a rookie.
