Scouting Report. player. 52. 9. Pick Analysis. IDL. Auburn. Derrick Brown

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been accused of tanking already as they traded away Calais Campbell for a day three pick after already moving on from A.J. Bouye and Jalen Ramsey (who was traded last season). They also have sent Nick Foles to Chicago and are going to start Gardner Minshew, the former sixth-round pick that took the NFL world by storm a season ago.

While it’s understandable to question those moves, the Jags seem more like a team trying to get out of a couple of high-dollar contracts and with Ramsey, he was more of a distraction than anything. He made far too many highlights with his words to justify the massive contract he wanted.

In the end, this could lead to them getting the No. 1 overall pick in 2020, which would land them Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, but they would also be in much better shape to try and build around him.

With all that being said, they continue to fill their roster with young talent as they take Auburn defensive tackle, Derrick Brown, here. Brown was expected to go into the draft last season and he decided to return to school, but unlike many of the other big-name players to do so, Brown was able to increase his stock in a huge way.

Listed at 6-foot-5 and 326-pounds, Brown is a rare combination of power, size, and athleticism. He will be a problem for interior offensive linemen and will surely wreck some gameplans. The Jags have fielded a good defense in the past that carried Blake Bortles to an AFC Championship and now they hope to rebuild a dominant unit.
