2021 NFL Draft: 5 Teams that could surprise everyone in the first round
By Randy Gurzi
4. Jacksonville Jaguars
There’s not going to be a surprise at No. 1 overall, we all know this. The Jacksonville Jaguars have never had a legit franchise quarterback and that will change on April 29 when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announces Trevor Lawrence as the top pick.
However, the Jaguars are still a team that could shake some things up when it comes to making moves during the draft. After the No. 1 pick, they also have the No. 25, No. 33, No. 45, and No. 65 selection.
That’s five picks in the first 65 and they could do one of two things. One would be to stockpile a lot of talent as new head coach Urban Meyer tries to fill holes on the roster. That could be a decent strategy, or they might decide to instead package some of their picks and make more of a splash.
Should Jacksonville decide that they wanted to get back in the top-15, they would have the firepower to do exactly that.
Jacksonville has added a lot of talent in recent drafts to include players such as Josh Allen, K’Lavon Chaisson, C.J. Henderson, D.J. Chark, and Laviska Shenault. They might decide that it’s time to add another superstar offensive weapon such as Devonta Smith or maybe another potential shutdown corner like Jaycee Horn should they fall out of the top-10.
Either way, they have enough capital that they should be a team to keep an eye on.
