2017 NFL Mock Draft: The Final 7-Round Apocalypse

player. 52. The Jaguars have to find a way to get the pressure off of Blake Bortles. The easiest way to do it is with the running game and Leonard Fournette is a beast. They can feed him 20-25 times a game, balance the offense and just flat wear defenses out. Bortles will thrive off play action.. RB. LSU. Leonard Fournette . 4

52. The defense made some strides last season but the Jaguars still have work to do with their pass rush. It could use more consistency off the edge. Charles Harris is a creative edge with athleticism and aggressive. Let him play up the field and he’ll do a lot of damage.. DE. Missouri. Charles Harris . 35. player

52. Another tall target in the passing game. Bucky Hodges can end up being what Julius Thomas was supposed to. That rangy weapon over the middle who presents all sorts of matchup problems for linebackers and safeties thanks to his size-speed mixture.. TE. Virginia Tech. Bucky Hodges . 68. player

52. Another trick to improving the ground attack besides the RB is up front. The Jaguars need to start being the bullies in the trenches. Zach Banner isn’t much for pass protection, but his massive size and power will be a huge help for opening up holes for Fournette.. OT. USC. Zach Banner . 110. player

Baylor. Seth Russell . 148. player. 52. Tom Coughlin has hinted he’s not completely sold on Bortles just yet. So don’t be surprised if the Jaguars add another QB. Injuries hampered Seth Russell most of his time at Baylor but he showed a live arm and athleticism to make plays when on the field.. QB

player. 52. One of the unteachable things in sports is speed. Jalen Myrick is very fast. That’s critical for NFL corners. If the Jaguars can help him hone his technique and discipline in coverage, he could play a long time in the league.. CB. Minnesota. Jalen Myrick . 187

222. player. 52. Coughlin knows all about Boston College and the type of players they produce. Matt Milano may be undersized but his instinct, effort and aggressiveness make up for those concerns. He’ll make a great special teams ace who could push for playing time on defense.. OLB. Boston College. Matt Milano

Idaho. Austin Rehkow . 240. player. 52. Punting, like many other things, was a serious problem for the Jaguars in 2016. So there really isn’t any harm in bringing in competition at that spot too. Austin Rehkow showed power and finesse in his boots for Idaho. He also has experience kicking off and field goals.. P
