3. Jacksonville Jaguars

3. player. 52. Is there a legitimate chance the Jacksonville Jaguars could go for another quarterback in 2017? Maybe, but the higher odds are they’ll try to find a coach who can rescue Blake Bortles from the prolonged slump he’s slipped into. If that’s the case then it’s fair to assume the team will adopt a best player available approach. Given that most of the strength in the upcoming class is on defense, it’s fair to assume that is where they will end up going. <p>Jonathan Allen is definitely one of the two or three best players in the class. That’s not up for discussion. Look at his stat line and then watch the tape and everything lines up to showcase a dominant defensive lineman. What makes him special is the fact he’s such a big man at 290 lbs but can move with the quickness of a linebacker. Blockers have to guard against his impressive power. So naturally his burst often catches them by surprise.</p>. DE. Alabama. Jonathan Allen
