Jacksonville Jaguars make big move for Kyle Pitts in 7-round mock draft

Jacksonville Jaguars mock draft: Round 5, 145th overall

The Jaguars invested heavily in an offensive playmaker earlier in this mock draft and have put together a solid group of pass catchers for their new franchise quarterback. That being said, in the modern NFL, you can never have too many guys who can make plays in the passing game.

Shi Smith is a quick and tough wide receiver who releases well off of the line of scrimmage and shows good route-running ability. He is an impact slot receiver who undoubtedly has a bright future at the next level. Smith stands out as a good value pick in this range and could grow into a major playmaker for Trevor Lawrence in the Jags’ passing attack.

Jacksonville Jaguars mock draft: Round 5, 170th overall

Derrick Barnes is a quick and explosive linebacker prospect who undoubtedly has exciting upside at the next level. Barnes shows impressive short-area quickness and explosive athletic ability as an in-the-box defender. He is a strong run defender and also shows impressive ability in the blitz game. Barnes is certainly a bit of a raw player but he is an exciting talent who could quickly grow into an exciting defensive playmaker for Jacksonville.

Jacksonville Jaguars mock draft: Round 7, 249th overall

With their final pick of this mock draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars shoot for some upside at the cornerback position. They invested in their cornerback situation with the addition of Shaquill Griffin in free agency but there is certainly still room for a long-term project player like Olaijah Griffin.

Griffin is certainly an undersized cornerback prospect but he is a good athlete who shows impressive ball skills on the defensive side of the ball. The Jaguars find strong value at a premium position to round out their draft haul.
