52. . Guard. Indiana. Dan Feeney. 35. player

Dan Feeney was the most popular pick for any round, pulling in five total votes.

"This fills the biggest need on the team, Jacksonville needs a guard who can lead the way if they want to improve the running game. Feeney isn’t the best guard in the draft, but he fits the bill and should be available at the top of the second round. – Jacob DeFee"

"Offensive line is the weakest group on the Jaguars roster and has been a turnstile in recent years. Effecient protection is woefully needed, and after trading for left tackle Branden Albert this offseason, pairing that with drafting Dan Feeney would be a wise move for the Jaguars. Feeney has great size and light feet that make him an anchor in pass protection. In the run game, Feeney has great lateral quickness and excels at picking up defenders at the second level. Dan Feeney is a guard with first-round talent, and would be a gem for Jacksonville in round two. – Billy Long"

"The second round could get very interesting for the Jaguars, especially if a quarterback (Deshaun Watson) or running back (Dalvin Cook) they like starts tumbling down the board at the end of the first round. We’re not projecting trades here, but I do think Tom Coughlin would be willing to move back into the first round if he sees someone he likes falling. If they stay put, I think it’s a safe bet to project an offensive lineman here. Feeney is a 6-foot-4, 304-pound monster who would slot right in at left guard and would help the Jaguars instantly become massive on the left side of the line. His presence would help the Jaguars upgrade the running game without addressing running back directly. – Daniel Lago"

"With the second round pick the Jags turn to guard Dan Feeney of Indiana to help secure the offensive line. The Jags have struggled to keep quarterback Blake Bortles off the dirt these last three years. Feeney is a two time captain and as a senior only gave up one sack. He also has the ability to play right guard or tackle making him a versatile addition. Overall Feeney has the experience and ability to help push the level of play of the offensive line. – Warner Flower"

"It’s tough to get away from Dan Feeney being an easy pick at the top of the second round. The Jaguars could use another young, stud offensive lineman who can contribute immediately and Feeney looks every bit the part. Paired with a running back first-round selection, Feeney looks like an even easier selection. – Luke Sims"

Joe Mixon. 35. player. 52. . Running Back. Oklahoma

One vote went to embattled running back Joe Mixon.

"I understand what Joe Mixon did was awful, but I believe everyone deserves a second chance. Mixon has been in behavior counselling ever since the incident and even now does speeches on his mistakes to stop other people making the same mistake. I believe if the incident wasn’t caught on camera Mixon would be a contender at the number four pick. Leonard [Fournette] at four is an option but I think Mixon in the second round offers much more value for the pick. To support this pick, Mixon met with the Jaguars this week. I think the Jaguars are definitely interested in the former  Oklahoma running back. In the right situation I believe Mixon can become a star in this league. – Owen Nelson"
