2020 NFL Power Rankings: Patriots moving up as training camp nears

Jacksonville moves from No. 32 to 31

This season, the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to be one of the teams fighting for the No. 1 overall pick in 2021. They were 6-10 last season which isn’t great but there was one reason to be excited, the play of rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Of those six wins, he was the starter for all of them and they were 6-6 overall with the sixth-round pick starting. Without Minshew in the lineup, the Jags were 0-4, which just highlights the lack of talent around him.

That talent took a hit as well this offseason with Jacksonville trading away A.J. Bouts and Calais Campbell, which comes not long after they shipped off Jalen Ramsey. Now they have an issue with edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue, who is unhappy and wants out.

With all that being the case, there’s nothing to get too excited about if Jacksonville does get the No. 1 pick. The fact is, this team has been drafting in the top five year after year and even when they find a good player, they have a hard time developing or keeping that player.

This could be a long and hard season for them but until they get things corrected at the top, the play on the field won’t be any better.
