Can the Jacksonville Jaguars return to playoff form in 2024?
According to ESPN’s Jordan Reid, the Jacksonville Jaguars will be securing a much-needed boost to their secondary in the form of Toledo cornerback, Quinyon Mitchell.
Jacksonville Jaguars Bolster Secondary in Seven-Round Mock Draft
Round 1, Pick 17: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
“As the Jaguars transition to more man-to-man coverage under new defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen, they really need another top-tier cornerback to play opposite Tyson Campbell. Mitchell is an ideal fit. An explosive and ascending prospect, he can get his hands on the ball (15 pass breakups in 2023) and stick on receivers. Mitchell also has the versatility to move around the defense.”
Round 2, Pick 48: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
“Let’s get Trevor Lawrence some vertical speed to target down the field. Franklin is a slender (176 pounds) but explosive pass-catcher with 4.41 speed.”
Round 3, Pick 96: Bralen Trice, EDGE, Washington
“An energetic and high-effort edge rusher, Trice can play with his hand in the dirt or standing up. He picked up 16 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss over the past two seasons.”
With their remaining selections in rounds four through seven, ESPN projects the Jacksonville Jaguars to bring in Auburn defensive tackle, Marcus Harris (114), Maryland offensive tackle, Delmar Glaze (116), Clemson tailback, Will Shipley (153), Georgia wideout, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint (212), and Washington State cornerback, Chau Smith-Wade (236).
