My take on the Jaguars’ draft via Jacksonville Today jaxtoday.org/2024/04/28/spo…

Dane Brugler, whose work I respect, called Maason Smith a 'traits-based prospect' and had him listed as a second or third-round pick. 64th overall, which projects to the last pick of the second round. For what it's worth.

Did they just spend a second round pick to bring in Arik Armstead’s backup?

My take on the Jaguars first-round pick and the move back to 23. open.substack.com/pub/colepepper…

Me too. Thought with the depth at WR in this draft they would go CB in the first, then come back with a WR in the second. That being said, Thomas’ speed gives him a chance to be a game changer for the offense. Only did it one year at LSU.

I’m a bit surprised the Jaguars took Brian Thomas Jr. after moving back. I’m ok with using a first round pick to help Trevor Lawrence I’m just not as sold on Thomas as someone like Odunze.

The Jaguars traded back six spots and still will be able to pick one of the top two cornerbacks.

Now ESPN can now take a commercial break at #23.

Stunning that the Jaguars have so many options at 17. Any CB they want or the top DE or top DT.
