2019 – Josh Allen, DE, Kentucky
He might have been the steal of the entire Draft – aside from Gardner Minshew. The Jaguars let things unfold. Landing Josh Allen will be one of those stories in NFL history that paid off for this organization.
Allen had 10.5 sacks last season and proved he could help both with the pass rush and against the run. His speed and agility made him hard to defend. He can only get better with more experience.
Allen, the seventh pick in the Draft, may also have to play without Calais Campbell and Ngakoue this season, which may also mean he becomes a leader of this defense. GRADE – A+
