Jacksonville Jaguars take Penei Sewell early in 4-round mock draft

The middle of the draft provides depth to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This Jacksonville team to add as many talented pass rushers as they can and Patrick Jones II can give their front four a boost. As a sophomore, the Pitt defensive end thrived in a rotational role and didn’t take a step back once he earned a bigger role. In the last 21 games, he has racked up 17.5 sacks and has forced four fumbles.

The ‘Jags’ need to find an adequate backup for running back James Robinson. The Illinois State product has been a stud and is among the best at the position in the NFL, but the team needs to find someone who can spell him from time to time or even take his place if he needs to miss some time.

Signing an expensive free-agent doesn’t seem like a good course of action and neither does selecting a running back early in the draft. Kennedy Brooks is the kind of player Jacksonville needs. In the last two seasons, he’s run the ball 274 times for 2067 yards, and 18 touchdowns.

Cornerbacks Sidney Jones and D.J. Hayden are set to become free agents in the offseason. Even if the Jaguars re-sign both, it would be wise to add depth, which they currently don’t have. Tre Herndon has held the forth as best as he’s been able to, but the team has had to rely on rookies Luq Barcoo and Josiah Scott.

The organization use a fourth-round selection on LSU’s Kary Vincent Jr and groom him as the team’s slot cornerback. He opted out of the 2020 season, but in his junior year, he registered 47 total tackles, four interceptions, and eight passes defensed.
