52. . Quarterback. Missouri. Drew Lock. 9. player

The Jacksonville Jaguars made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game with Blake Bortles at quarterback last season, but it does not look like they will make a repeat appearance this season. The Jaguars got off to a fast start to the season, winning their first three games, but have not won a game since.

This past weekend, they opened up the Sunday slate against the Philadelphia Eagles in London, and they once again laid an egg. Bortles was atrocious under center, and the offense really faltered, as it appears clear it is time to turn the page from their quarterback, who they gave an extension this offseason.

The Jaguars have a roster that is Super Bowl ready, but they are never going to get to the big game with Bortles under center. They need to make sure they bring in his replacement this offseason, whether by free agency or the draft, and if they do have a top-10 pick, they should look to add Missouri’s Drew Lock.

All Lock has done during his time with the Tigers is light up the SEC, which is highly regarded as the best conference in college football. He plays with a swagger that Bortles does not have, and is a true leader, and is a guy who could come in and start right away in Jacksonville, allowing the Jaguars to move on.
