Jacksonville Jaguars Draft Review

The Jaguars organization could be one of the most troubled in the league. Poor ownership, poor coaching and poor ticket sales make it seem like they’ll be the L.A. Jaguars before you know it. Their first pick in the draft didn’t do anything to change the perception. The team drafted Tyson Alualu, the defensive end from California. This is a good pick, but they probably could have traded down and still got him. Maybe no one was willing to trade with them, but if there were teams willing this was a poor choice for the Jags.

They weren’t done the work on their defensive line. The grabbed tackle D’Anthony Smith from Louisiana Tech. He’s a big body who can help plug the middle on a Jags line that has been depleted over the past few seasons. Throw in defensive end Larry Hart from Central Arkansas, and 6′6″ mammoth Austen Lane from Murray State and Jacksonville could have some decent competition for the line. They picked up Southern Illinois running back Deji Karim who gives them needed depth at the position. He should be able to lighten the load for MJD.

They also drafted special teamer Scotty McGee from James Madison who has incredible speed and quickness and should help their struggling return game. The Jags didn’t do anything to convince people that they are turning things around. This team could be L.A. bound at the end of next season.
