2024 NFL mock draft: Broncos make unexpected move for a top quarterback
17) Jacksonville Jaguars: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
The Jaguars might think about a receiver here after their failed pursuit of Calvin Ridley in free agency, but ultimately, Quinyon Mitchell fills a bigger “need” for them and gives them an outstanding playmaker who knows how to break on the ball and get hands on it when it is thrown his direction.

19) Los Angeles Rams: Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State
