Jaguars' Mock Draft: Defense & Offense Balance

0:00On March 26, with the NFL free agency window closed, all eyes are on the upcoming draft for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pro football network released a full seven-round mock draft, projecting 11 picks for the team, including four in the top 100. Without a first-round selection, General Manager Jane's Gladstone gets flexibility to build on a solid roster foundation from a quiet off-season. The Jaguars go heavy on defense early, starting with linebacker Jake Golday from Cincinnati at Pick 56. He's a top-run defender who excels in coverage, too. They follow with cornerback Davis and Igbenoson from Ohio State at 81, an interior lineman Dante Corleone from Cincinnati at 88, adding size and run-stopping power up front. Later, Pick's bring balance to the offense. At Pick 100, they grab running back Emmett Johnson from Nebraska, who rush for over 1400 yards last season. Offensive tackle Markle Bell from Miami and wide receiver Dejan Stribling from Ole Miss, ad protection and big-play potential down the line.
