3 Florida Gators Jacksonville Jaguars should target in the NFL Draft

The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t been good at drafting in recent years. That’s why it wasn’t surprising to see them move on from David Caldwell and hire Trent Baalke as their general manager in order to shake things up.

Baalke had a good draft track record early in his tenure as the San Francisco 49ers general manager, acquiring players such as defensive end Aldon Smith and quarterback Colin Kaepernick. However, the luster eventually faded and failed to replenish the roster with enough playmakers, which prompted the team to give him the pink slip.

On his introductory press conference, Baalke said he’s learned from his past mistakes and if that’s the case, the ‘Jags’ will be in a prime position to quickly turn things around after finishing the 2020 season 1-15. The team has 11 draft selections at their disposal and four of them in the first two rounds.

While the ‘Jags’ need to add talent to their defense, they will likely take a quarterback with the first overall pick in 2021’s draft. However, they should also add a few weapons to an offense that finished 30th in points last season. For that reason, they need to target these three Florida Gators in the selection meeting.
