DL. Jacksonville Jaguars. Jalen Carter. 5. player. 52.

The Jacksonville Jaguars were supposed to see major growth from Trevor Lawrence in Year 2, but through the first eight weeks of the season, he has been nothing to write home about. However, the Jaguars are playing tough football, and while they have lost four straight, they have lost by seven or fewer points in each game.

Looking ahead, the Jaguars should look to bolster the defensive line, and they do so by adding the best defensive tackle in the class at pick No. 5 overall. Jalen Carter will be a perfect fit in the interior of a defensive line that has Josh Allen coming off the edge.

. OT. Las Vegas Raiders. Paris Johnson Jr.. 6. player. 28

What a terrible season it has been for the Las Vegas Raiders. After beating the Houston Texans in Week 8, they went into New Orleans and absolutely laid an egg against the Saints, falling to 2-5 this season, and basically ending their playoff hopes.

This offseason, the Raiders should have addressed the right tackle spot, but instead, decided to roll with a bad veteran and seventh-round pick. At No. 6 overall, they do not make that mistake again, adding the talented Paris Johnson Jr. from Ohio State.
