Jaguars full 7-round 2024 NFL Mock Draft after losing Calvin Ridley in free agency

Kamari Lassiter, CB Georgia - Round 2, pick 48

This year's cornerback class is loaded, so the Jags should still find a good one in the second round. There's a good chance Kamari Lassiter will be there when they pick at No. 48. At 6'0" and 180 pounds, he doesn't have the ideal size for the position but he's got ample speed and great recognition skills.

While Lassiter can play zone coverage, he's also fit to play man, which he would do under defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen in Jacksonville. The fact that he can also defend the run makes him an appealing choice in Round 2.

The Jags already signed Ronald Darby in free agency. He could start opposite Tyson Campbell come Week 1, but that's maybe a reason they should take Lassiter or any other cornerback early in the draft. Campbell is set to become a free agent in 2025, so Lassiter could develop behind him and Darby. Furthermore, he can provide insurance in case either Campbell or Darby struggles next season.

Christian Mahogany, RG, Boston College - Round 3, pick 96

The Jaguars ensured veteran Brandon Scherff plays out the three-year contract he signed in 2022 when they restructured his contract. Then again, it would be a good idea to start looking for his potential heir apparent. Christian Mahogany would be a worthy candidate.

Mahogany can play both guard spots but made 13 starts on the right side in 2024. He has the mauling mentality the Jags sorely needed last year on the interior offensive line. A strong and agile blocker in pass protection, the Boston College product also excels as a puller on screens. He could compete for a backup role right out the gate and potentially replace Sherff next year.
