Jacksonville Jaguars Needs, Pre-Draft Analysis: NFL Draft 2022

As bad as the franchise has been over the last few years, the drafting hasn’t been all that bad. The depth has to improve, the pass rush has to be better, and everything about the Jacksonville Jaguars has to start doing a whole lot more. There are primetime parts, a new coaching staff, and a good outlook. Now they have to make the most out of their 12 picks.

Having the No. 1 overall pick this year stinks. Last year the Jaguars got the right guy in the right year. Trevor Lawrence will eventually be phenomenal once he gets players around him, and it starts by getting more wide receivers. Even more than that, they need a pass rush.

Again, about this being a bad year to have the 1, Aidan Hutchinson is fine, but there are a slow of pass good pass rushers early in a deep draft. If there’s a year to figure out how to trade down and get something out of it, this is the year. But …

So who’ll be there in the first round for Jacksonville? It’s almost certainly going to be Hutchinson, but don’t be stunned if it’s Travon Walker, though. The more interesting call is the first pick in the second round. Last year’s call of RB Travis Etienne will work now that he’s past his foot injury,

This year, if a quarterback – Matt Corral or Desmond Ridder – is still on the board, that might be where to trade down. Otherwise, that’s a prime pick for the best player available. That’s where to help load up for the offensive front.
