Vernon Hargreaves. 5. player. 52. <p>While they only won five games this seasons, the Jacksonville Jaguars took a tremendous step forward in the development of the franchise. Blake Bortles came into his own with the help of Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns making big plays down the field. Defensively however, the Jaguars are still looking for their own quarterback. That side of the ball needs a young, talented leader who can help balance out games, specifically in the secondary. The Jaguars failed to create turnovers and get the ball back to their offense, only intercepting quarterbacks eight times this season. Help is needed at cornerback and safety if this team expects to make the jump from top five pick to playoff contender.</p> <p>If you are looking for a pure cornerback with just as much shutdown ability as Jalen Ramsey, you’ve come to the right place. Vernon Hargreaves doesn’t get Darrell Revis comparisons for nothing. The hometown kid can just do everything you need a cornerback to do and more. He can shutdown even the speediest receivers in the game with excellent quickness down field and the ability to adjust well to routes. He’s also a sure tackler, wrapping up the ball carrier and bringing him all the way to the ground.</p> <p><strong>Previous Pick:</strong> Jalen Ramsey, DB</p>. Cornerback. Florida
