With the No. 3 pick in the mock on Thursday, the Jaguars turned to some more help on the offensive side of the ball with Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper.
At No. 4 is the Oakland Raiders, who looked to beef up the defensive side of the ball even more with the selection of Leonard Williams out of USC.
