Jaguars Mock Draft: Defense Dominates

0:00On April 7th, Nick Bound Gardener from the Athletic just dropped a three-round mock-draft and the Jacksonville Jaguars load up heavy on defense. They snag linebacker Jig Golday out of Cincinnati at Pick 56, then cornerback Chandler Rivers from Duke at Pick 81. Right after, it's another linebacker, Keeshawn Elliott from Arizona State at Pick 88, an edd-resher Jison Barham from Michigan at Pick. 100. One big stand out here, two linebackers inside the top 100 picks signaling a clear push to rebuild that front seven. Cornerback feels less urgent now with Monterey Brown back in the mix, teaming up with Hunter on the outside, Lewis sliding into the nickel spot, and Jones bringing vet depth. Still, Rivers bring solid ball skills to amp up competition and numbers back there. No defensive tackle action though, and that's a head scratcher. Their top need, especially with four day two picks and seven more waiting on day three. For depth and pass rush pop inside, Edge looks strong up front with Trevon Walker and Josh Hines.

1:04Allen holding it down, but then beyond BJ Green and Danny Strigow, so expect them to. Maybe double up there while the draft board shapes the corner timing. Defense gets a real boost, just gotta feel that interior gap to keep rolling. I'm Corey with the story, that's your NFL news today update, AI powered and always on.
