With the initial wave of free agency in the rearview mirror, team needs have shifted, and draft plans are starting to come into focus. That makes now the perfect time to map out a full three-round mock draft, projecting all 32 teams and how the board could realistically fall over the first two days. While this exercise takes a league-wide view, there’s still a Jacksonville-centric layer throughout, as I’ve included short blurbs for each Jaguars pick to break down the selections and what they could mean for the team moving forward.

**14\. Baltimore** Jordan Tyson WR Arizona State
**15\. Tampa Bay** Olaivavega Ioane IOL Penn State
**16\. NY Jets via IND** Omar Cooper Jr. WR Indiana
**17\. Detroit** Monroe Freeling OT Georgia
**18\. Minnesota** Chris Johnson CB San Diego St.

**32 Seattle** Avieon Terrell CB Clemson
**33\. NY Jets** D’Angelo Ponds CB Indiana
**34\. Arizona** Max Iheanachor OT Arizona St.
**35\. Tennessee** CJ Allen LB Georgia
**36\. Las Vegas** Christen Miller DL Georgia
**37\. NY Giants** Chase Bisontis IOL Texas A&M
**38\. Houston via WSH** Jadarian Price RB Notre Dame
**39\. Cleveland Caleb** Lomu OT Utah
**40\. Kansas City** Peter Woods DL Clemson
**41\. Cincinnati** Jacob Rodriguez LB Texas Tech
**42\. New Orleans** KC Concepcion WR Texas A&M
**43\. Miami** Keith Abney II CB Arizona St.
**44\. NY Jets via DAL** Ty Simpson QB Alabama
**45\. Baltimore** Eli Stowers TE Vanderbilt
**46\. Tampa Bay** Cashius Howell EDGE Texas A&M
**47\. Indianapolis** Anthony Hill Jr. LB Texas
**48\. Atlanta** Germie Bernard WR Alabama
**49\. Minnesota** Mike Washington Jr. RB Arkansas

**52\. Green Bay** Lee Hunter DL Texas Tech
**53\. Pittsburgh** A.J. Haulcy S LSU
**54\. Philadelphia** Chris Brazzell II WR Tennessee
**55\. LA Chargers** Domonique Orange DL Iowa St.
**56\. Jacksonville** Gracen Halton DL Oklahoma
Gracen Halton has been a popular prospect amongst Jags fans of late, and for good reason. The Oklahoma product is a natural fit as a true three-technique in this Jaguars defensive front, giving the unit a skill set it’s currently lacking. Halton wins with quickness, burst, and an advanced pass-rush approach that allows him to consistently penetrate and disrupt from the interior. Jacksonville’s defense desperately needs a true interior disruptor who can consistently affect the pocket on passing downs. Halton brings exactly that element, adding a much-needed layer to the front.
**57\. Chicago** Davison Igbinosun CB Ohio State
**58\. San Francisco** Chris Bell WR Louisville
**59\. Houston** Gennings Dunker IOL Iowa
**60\. Chicago via BUF** Sam Hecht C Kansas State
**61\. LA Rams** Jake Golday LB Cincinnati
**62\. Denver** Josiah Trotter LB Missouri
**63\. New England** Max Klare TE Ohio State
**64\. Seattle** Gabe Jacas EDGE Illinois
**65\. Arizona** Bryce Lance WR N. Dakota St.
**66\. Tennessee** Keylan Rutledge IOL Georgia Tech
**67\. Las Vegas** Genesis Smith S Arizona
**68\. Philadelphia via NYJ** Joshua Josephs EDGE Tennessee
**69\. Houston via NYG** Dani Dennis-Sutton EDGE Penn State
**70\. Cleveland** Keionte Scott S Miami (Fla.)
**71\. Washington** Elijah Sarratt WR Indiana
**72\. Cincinnati** Skyler Bell WR Connecticut
**73\. New Orleans** Darrell Jackson Jr. DT FSU
**74\. Kansas City** Derrick Moore LB Michigan
**75\. Miami** R Mason Thomas EDGE Oklahoma
**76\. Pittsburgh via DAL** Antonio Williams WR Clemson
**77\. Tampa Bay** Kyle Louis LB Pittsburgh
**78\. Indianapolis** Treydan Stukes CB Arizona
**79\. Atlanta** Brandon Cisse CB South Carolina
**80\. Baltimore** Brian Parker II IOL Duke
**81\. Jacksonville via DET** Jaishawn Barham LB Michigan
Jacksonville desperately needs another edge presence who can consistently win outside of Joshua Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, and Jaishawn Barham feels like a great fit to provide just that. The versatile Michigan defender offers a compelling blend of speed and power, with the ability to rush from multiple alignments and keep tackles off balance. He plays with a physical edge, holds up well against the run, and flashes the burst needed to threaten the pocket. Adding Barham would give Jacksonville a movable piece up front who can create more consistent pressure and help take some of the load off its top pass rushers.
**82\. Minnesota** Kamari Ramsey S USC
**83\. Carolina** Deion Burks WR Oklahoma
**84\. Green Bay** Daylen Everette CB Georgia
**85\. Pittsburgh** Garrett Nussmeier QB LSU
**86\. LA Chargers** Zakee Wheatley S Penn State
**87\. Miami via PHI** Bud Clark S TCU
**88\. Jacksonville** Sam Roush TE Stanford
Adding another reliable in-line presence is a real need for Jacksonville, and Sam Roush fits that role extremely well. The Stanford tight end is one of the more polished blockers in this class, consistently showing the technique and strength to hold up at the point of attack. What makes him especially intriguing, though, is the athletic upside he flashed during the pre-draft process, testing well and showing he can offer more than just blocking value. Roush gives the Jaguars a dependable, physical option who can help in the run game while still bringing enough athleticism to develop into a more complete tight end.
**89\. Chicago** Ted Hurst WR Georgia State
**90\. Miami via HOU** Oscar Delp TE Georgia
**91\. Buffalo** Jalen Farmer OG Kentucky
**92\. Dallas via SF** Keyshaun Elliott LB Arizona St.
**93\. LA Rams** Dontay Corleone DL Cincinnati
**94\. Miami via DEN** Devin Moore CB Florida
**95\. New England** Deonte Lawson LB Alabama
**96\. Seattle** Jonah Coleman RB Washington
**97\. Minnesota** Connor Lew OC Auburn
**98\. Philadelphia** Eli Raridon TE Notre Dame
**99\. Pittsburgh** Julian Neal CB Arkansas
**100\. Jacksonville via DET** Kaleb Elarms-Orr LB TCU
With Devin Lloyd no longer in the picture, linebacker becomes a position that needs both a short-term answer and long-term depth, even if Ventrell Miller is in line for a larger role. Kaleb Elarms-Orr offers an intriguing option at this stage of the draft, bringing a strong combination of size, athleticism, and instincts to the position. The TCU linebacker processes quickly, flows well to the ball, and has the physical tools to develop into a reliable contributor. At this point in the draft, he makes a lot of sense as a depth piece with upside who can compete for snaps and help stabilize the second level of the defense.
