Jacksonville Jaguars 2020 mock draft: Full 7 rounds
By Conor Dorney
5th round
With Leonard Fournette’s past injury issues, it never hurts to have too much depth at running back. UCLA’s Joshua Kelley is one of the more underrated backs in the class and would be a nice fit in the Jags’ offense.
Kelley runs with great physicality between the tackles and tested as a good athlete for his size. He’s the type of running back who should excel in a role with 8-10 carries per game and fill in admirably as a starter if the injury bug bites Fournette next season.
I’m not sure many would have expected Nick Foles to be dealt to make room for Gardner Minshew but here we are. The Jags need depth at quarterback and while a quarterback like Jordan Love is an option early, they could opt to solidify their faith in Minshew by waiting until Day 3 for Michigan State’s Brian Lewerke.
Things never quite clicked for Lewerke after a solid sophomore campaign in 2017 but he has plenty of size, arm talent, and experience as a three-year starter. Those traits should warrant a flyer on Day 3.
6th round
Dede Westbrook will hit the free agent market after next season so Jacksonville could be looking for a target out of the slot to replace him. This is a great draft to grab two wide receivers and here they look in state for former Gator Fredie Swain.
The Jags add another in-state product in the sixth round in Miami EDGE Trevon Hill. Hill is a good athlete who posted 4.5 sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss in his senior season for the Hurricanes.
7th round
There are NFL players all over the field any time you turn on the tape of Utah’s defense and here the Jags poach the Utes linebacker Francis Bernard.
Bernard is a physical inside linebacker who has already had a lot of contact with Jacksonville during the pre-draft process. He’d be a nice fit behind recently-acquired Joe Schobert for the Jags on Day 3.
