Analysis:
The Jaguars may have had one of the more bizarre draft classes in the league. The team took several players well above their consensus ranking, and third-round guard Emmanuel Pregnon was the only player they selected that scouts gave a positive review of.
But the good news for Jacksonville is most of the roster that went 13-4 last season is returning. Losing star running back Travis Etienne and linebacker Devin Lloyd were big blows for the team, but the Jags are content with Bhayshul Tuten taking over as their workhorse RB, and they have a handful of linebackers ready to take over Lloyd’s spot.
With head coach Liam Coen setting the bar extremely high in Year 1, he’ll have his work cut out trying to top it next season. But with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, receivers Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Myers, and Travis Hunter, he has a potential top-10 offense in the making.
The defense also features several playmakers including edge-rusher Travon Walker, linebacker Josh Hines-Allen, defensive tackle Arik Armstead, linebacker Foye Oluokun, cornerback Jarrian Jones, and safety Antonio Johnson.
Houston and Indianapolis both will be threats for the AFC South crown, but given their run of success last season, the Jaguars should be favorites to repeat as division champs.
