By Kyle Nishida

← Tip: Use keyboard arrows to navigate →

Round 1, 5th Overall: CB Jalen Ramsey — Jalen Ramsey has the potential to be one of the next top cornerbacks in the NFL. The Jaguars finished 29th in pass defense in 2015, so they need a guy like Ramsey who can immediately contribute and be a shutdown corner.

Round 2, 38th Overall: Center Ryan Kelly — Kelly was a three-year starting center at Alabama. The Jaguars need to solidify their interior offensive line, and center is certainly a need. Kelly will step into a starting role nicely and provide some excellent protection for Blake Bortles.

Round 3, 69th Overall: Safety/Cornerback Sean Davis — Davis played both safety and cornerback effectively at Maryland, and the Jaguars need plenty of help in the secondary. Davis’ ability to properly defend passing plays as a safety or corner makes him an intriguing prospect for the Jaguars.

Round 4, 104th Overall: Outside Linebacker Kamalei Correa — The junior out of Boise State University is starting to gain a lot of hype before the combine. Although a bit undersized, Correa has the tackling and pass coverage skills to be a starting outside linebacker. He's also a versatile pass rusher.

Round 5, 146th Overall: Defensive Tackle Hassan Ridgeway — Ridgeway transformed himself from a 250-pound pass rusher into a 300-pound interior menace at Texas. His size and pass rushing skills would be very useful to the Jaguars, who need to improve their defensive tackle depth.

Round 6, 184th Overall: Offensive Guard Rees Odhiambo — The Kenya native started playing football in high school, so he is still new to the sport. However, his athleticism for an offensive lineman makes him worth drafting. The Jaguars need more interior linemen, and Odhiambo fits the bill.

Round 6, 204th Overall: Cornerback KeiVarae Russell — Although Russell had academic ineligibility issues at Notre Dame, he had enough flashes in college to warrant a selection here. Russell needs to develop his run support skills, but he is solid in pass coverage, which is what the Jaguars need.

Round 7, 224th Overall: Outside Linebacker Travis Feeney — Feeney has the skills needed to be a 4-3 outside linebacker. He has the closing speed, length and agility to be an excellent pass defender. However, four shoulder surgeries in his collegiate career make him a risk, but he worth a seventh-round pick.
