Jarvis Jones – As I mentioned earlier, the Jaguars pass rush was absolutely non existent. Getting only 20 sacks in 16 games is really bad. Jones is being viewed as a guy who can be used much like Denver uses Von Miller. He can rusher the QB as well as anyone in this draft. He isn’t great in coverage, but has the ability. The best thing he has going for him is that he is a play maker. He makes plays, forces turnovers and sacks the QB. That is exactly the type of player the Jags need.

Sheldon Richardson – Richardson is a DT that can create pressure up the middle and get to the QB. Many people have Sharrif Floyd over Richardson, but I just don’t see it. Richardson is very versatile, dropping into zone coverages at times at Missouri. Terrance Knighton is a FA and may not be back so Richardson can be plugged in and play from day one. He brings a lot to the table, helping in stopping the run and getting pressure on the QB.
