Round 1, Pick 3) Dante Fowler Jr. (Defensive End, Florida)

Reader Grade

Torn between an A (48% of votes) and a B (46%) of votes, the few Cs bring this grade down to a B+ from the fans. There was a lot of talk on Twitter about how this pick isn’t the best available, so it makes sense that you, the readers, don’t see this as a straight A pick.

Daniel Lago

“I understand the pick, but I don’t love it. I don’t agree that Fowler is the best pure pass rusher in this year’s class, but if Caldwell and company have him graded as such then it makes all the sense in the world.”

Luke Sims

“(The Jaguars) had some decent sack numbers last season but they weren’t able to create a lot of pressure. Fowler will come in and solve that problem immediately.”
