5. Jacksonville Jaguars

52. The situation surrounding Myles Jack is unique.  Nobody questions the fact he may be the best overall athlete in the class.  A fast linebacker that can fly to the football and makes plays both against the run and in coverage.  It’s not his ability that is the problem, it’s his health.  Medical re-checks have come and gone, leaving a hazy outlook regarding the torn meniscus he suffered during this past season. <p> </p> <p>Some believe the knee isn’t right and may start getting worse with time.  Others feel it checks out fine and should be good to go by the start of the season.  Thus he could go as high as the top 5, befitting his talent or fall out of the top 10 due to the injury.  The Jacksonville Jaguars, sensing the opportunity to put him on a developing defense alongside Telvin Smith is just too good to pass up.  Jack should make an excellent fit for their scheme and his versatility will help clean up a number of problems.</p>.
