Though a shoulder injury has sidelined the second year guard from Miami for the reminder of the season, Brandon Linder deserves a mention on this list as he is arguably the best player from the Jaguars 2014 draft class right now.

Linder is already one of the top guards in the league and according to Ryan Day of Big Cat Country, Linder made the Pro Football Focus roster for the Pro Bowl last season.

Day said, “Brandon Linder is the lone Jaguars player on Pro Football Focus’ Pro Bowl Roster for 2014. According to their ratings, he’s the sixth-best guard out of players who have been in on at least 75% of their respective team’s snaps. His pass-blocking, according to PFF, is his strength as he’s earned an overall grade of 10.3 this season, fourth-best in the league.”
