2017 NFL Draft Grades: Jacksonville Jaguars Day 3 Picks

After adding a some offensive players around Blake Bortles on Days 1 and 2, the Jacksonville Jaguars started adding depth on Day 3. How did they do?

The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted some big names over the course of the first three rounds of the NFL Draft. Adding offensive talent around Blake Bortles has clearly been a focus of their draft. In the first round Jacksonville added a stud running back from LSU, Leonard Fournette.

Building up their ground game even further, the Jaguars grabbed a hot name at tackle, Cam Robinson. While he has some technique issues, he should develop into a solid starter for Jacksonville.

Up next was the pass rush, adding a defensive end from Illinois by the name of Dawuane Smoot. NFL Spin Zone graded each of these picks, and you can find those grades here: Day 1 Grade and Day 2 Grade.

So, when the Jacksonville Jaguars went on the clock in the fourth round, they chose to give Blake Bortles another offensive weapon.

Round 4, Pick 110: DeDe Westbrook, WR- Oklahmoa

This is the very definition of a value pick. Westbrook had the talent to go much higher in this year’s draft. Personality and off-field concerns pushed him down to Jacksonville. Westbrook was even a candidate for the Heisman Trophy this year.

Blake Bortles is absolutely going to love tossing the ball to Westbrook. He was one of the most electric deep ball receivers during his time in college. He’s fast, shifty and a solid route runner. The only knock is that he has a smaller frame, but Westbrook has made it work.

If the Jaguars have a plan in place to keep Westbrook clean off the field, this is a home run pick.
