2019 NFL mock draft: Josh Allen heads to the 49ers
By Brad Weiss
The Jacksonville Jaguars went into the 2018 NFL season with very high expectations, as they were coming off an appearance in the AFC Championship Game. In that game, they actually held a ten-point lead over the New England Patriots in the fourth quarter, but blew that lead, and it has been downhill ever since.
As they look towards next season, they have a ton of question marks, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Running back Leonard Fournette was stripped of his guaranteed money, and is currently in the doghouse of Tom Coughlin, while Blake Bortles time as the starting quarterback is all but over.
When they select in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, they have a bunch of different ways they can go, but you have to think their eyes will be on the quarterback spot. Coughlin is going to want a new face of the franchise, and in Drew Lock, they would be getting a strong-armed quarterback who dominated SEC defenses during his time at Missouri.
Lock is a guy who could end up being a very good quarterback at the NFL level, as he plays with no fear, and has the arm to make all the throws. The Jaguars have a Super Bowl-ready defense, and if they can shore up their issues on the offensive side of the ball, they could be a playoff team once again next season.
