Jacksonville Jaguars: 2016 7-round NFL mock draft
By John Buhler
Would the Jaguars double-down on pass rushers with their first two picks in the 2016 NFL Draft? Not only would Jacksonville be getting a great SEC pass rusher in Georgia Bulldogs outside linebacker Leonard Floyd at No. 38, but Bradley would also be getting one of the most versatile linebackers from the 2015 SEC with that selection.
Floyd improved significantly in Jeremy Pruitt’s 2015 Georgia defense by becoming more than just a dynamic pass rusher for the Bulldogs. While he’s never going to be an elite run stopper, Pruitt, and his staff were able to put Floyd in several positions all across the gridiron to make him an every-down defensive player.
In 2015 with Georgia, Floyd played outside linebacker, inside linebacker, the linebacker/safety position hybrid known as STAR, and even the occasional snap at defensive end. Floyd has solid ball skills in addition to his pass rushing ability.
Since the NFL is becoming increasingly passing centric and will need guys defensively that can do any number of things, it would be for Caldwell to nab Bradley Floyd at No. 38 in the top of the second round for the Jaguars defense.
