Picks No. 4 through 6

Jacksonville Jaguars. Kyle Hamilton. 4. player. 52. . Safety

Last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars had the first overall pick, so it was a no-brainer that they would grab Clemson signal-caller Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence has been okay in his rookie season, but still has a long way to go, and it remains to be seen whether or not Urban Meyer will be in Jacksonville for the long haul.

With pick No. 4 in this mock draft, Jacksonville turns their attention to the other side of the ball, adding the best defensive back in this draft class. Kyle Hamilton from Notre Dame is going to be a playmaker at the next level and will be an anchor for this Jags defense.

Cornerback. Philadelphia Eagles. Derek Stingley Jr.. 5. player. 54.

The Philadelphia Eagles spent the offseason stacking first-round picks, and if the season ended tomorrow, they would hold three of the first 15 picks in the draft. The first of these three will come at pick No. 5, and with the selection, they add the best cornerback in this draft class in Derek Stingley Jr.

Philadelphia put together a nice win this past weekend, and it starting to look like Jalen Hurts is going to be the answer for them at quarterback moving forward. They have more than enough draft capital to turn this thing around but making sure they land with these three first-round picks is going to be crucial.

31. . Offensive Tackle. New York Giants. Evan Neal. 6. player

When it comes to the New York Giants, the big question this season is whether or not Daniel Jones is their answer at quarterback in the long term. His success is tied to whether or not general manager Dave Gettleman returns next season, and so far, it is looking like at least one more year will be needed to make that decision.

Looking at their roster, the Giants have some issues upfront on both sides of the ball, but the offensive line is a real issue right now. With pick No. 6, they should target Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal, a guy who could come in and start on the left side from Day 1, moving Andrew Thomas to the right side.
