Throughout the offseason, we will be taking questions on the biggest questions facing the Jacksonville Jaguars. You can submit your questions every week by tweeting them to the Jaguars On SI Twitter handle or by submitting them here . This week we take questions on this next week's draft, James Gladstone and more.
A: You tell me? A: From the draft in general? That is tough. I am a believer in the long-term track record of the consensus board, so I do put some value into that. With that said, I think just targeting low-value positions early on is a way to make a grade like that happen, which would mean running back, tight end, things of that sort.
A running back or tight end at No. 5 probably gets below a C from me. Same with taking Tet McMillan.
Rest of the picks I could at least think you can make a case for. A: Artie Bucco. A: I think they could get a starting player along the offensive line, interior defensive line, at safety, at receiver, and then potentially at running back and at cornerback.
So four-to-six sounds about right I think -- at least for 2025. A: Day 2 guys I think would be fun to see with Coen: Kaleb Johnson, Quinshon Judkins, Jordan James, and R.J.
Harvey. On Day 3, I think guys like Devin Neal, D.J.
Giddens, Damien Martinez all make sense as well. And considering how much it sounds like the Jaguars want to lean on the run game, I certainly wouldn't rule it out. A: This is tough because I just see so few options for them.
Maybe if Will Campbell is off the board they go for an offensive lineman not named Armand Membou. Kelvin Banks, perhaps? Joshua Simmons? A: Funny enough, thats another reason I think he could go No. 5.
Not because he is a receiver-like target out of the backfield, but he is really comfortable as a pass-catcher and looks like a pure natural on screens. A: I think it is the pre-draft process and there is simply nothing else to talk about. A: I have said for a few weeks now that a Jeanty selection isn't the most shocking pick the Jaguars could make, to me.
I wouldn't do it, but I at least see the logic and why it could happen. A: I am not confident enough in anything about this draft process or draft class to make a proclamation like that. I believe the pick will be Graham right now, but I could see myself locking it into Jeanty in a few days.
A: I don't think so. I do think teams would feel OK with taking Jeanty in the top-10, but I am not of the belief that teams would be willing to give up extra draft picks to do so. A: Let's set it at 2.
5. I think it will be one running back and one receiver, but we will see. A: I think they will lean defense in a big way, so I would probably go 3 defense, 1 offense, and maybe an even split.
The Jaguars signed eight offensive free agents and only two defensive ones, so there is a need to address the defense. A: I do not think it is actually a better deal. If the Jaguars take Jeanty at No.
5, for example, he would be one of the highest-paid running backs in the NFL before he takes a snap. Go ahead and give us your follow on X (Twitter) @JaguarsOnSI and @_John_Shipley Sound off after you follow our Facebook page WHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE..
