Jacksonville Jaguars 2025 NFL mock draft roundup (Mar 24)

We’re formally a month away from the 2025 NFL Draft.

Clearly the title to know at this level is Michigan defensive sort out Mason Graham, however as the times maintain going, increasingly names are developing as seemingly draft candidates. This week we dive into some Graham discuss however department out into another attainable alternatives come April 24.

From SEC offensive tackles to yet one more Penn State tight finish, there are a handful of non-Graham names effervescent up that followers of the Jags ought to perhaps begin to familiarize themselves with.

NFL.com’s Chad Reuter

Take a drink when you have heard this earlier than: The Jacksonville Jaguars ought to take Mason Graham at fifth general. That’s the considering on this mock, this time from Reuter who thinks the Jags dropping Roy Robertson-Harris harm them sufficient to make the crew want Graham at No. 5.

Graham’s fast toes, upper-body power, versatility and constant motor portend a profitable NFL profession. The Jaguars didn’t tackle their defensive position after buying and selling Roy Robertson-Harris to Seattle final fall, so pairing Graham with 2024 second-round choose Maason Smith makes every kind of sense.

The Graham to Jacksonville pipeline stays alive on this mock by Nate Tice and Charles McDonald. We additionally get a point out of arm size which is a few good sicko Jaguars stuff.

The Jaguars might go in a wide range of instructions right here, however find yourself with the explosive Graham. His arm size (32 inches on the mix) may scare off some groups, however new Jaguars basic supervisor James Gladstone comes from the Rams, a spot that has been greater than effective with taking gamers who could lack splendid measurements or backgrounds however whose play does the speaking. Graham in between Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker would create a harmful entrance, whereas additionally filling a gap, with an fascinating mixture of abilities.

Yet another Graham mock for you. The thought of drafting Graham to Jacksonville is constant each time. He’s seemingly the perfect participant remaining. He’s seemingly the best choice to assist the protection at that spot. And his upside needs to be an excessive amount of to move up if he’s obtainable.

There are a couple of instructions the Jacksonville Jaguars might go within the 2025 NFL Draft, and with a brand new head coach/basic supervisor mixture on the town, predicting their transfer is hard.

Hunter can be an excellent match right here as he might slot into roles at each cornerback and broad receiver without having to be a full-time participant at both place initially. Nevertheless, with Hunter off the board, reinforcing the defensive position is the good transfer for the Jaguars.

There are many EDGE choices to choose from, and so they might transfer again a couple of spots so as to add extra capital and nonetheless have their choose. Nevertheless, staying at No. 5 and selecting Mason Graham is a transfer they’re unlikely to remorse. Graham is a possible game-wrecker up the center, and getting a type of is significant within the trendy NFL.

CBS Sports activities’ Tom Fornelli

Okay now let’s transfer off Graham. Fornelli has a right-field choice right here for Jacksonville with Missouri offensive sort out Armand Membou going off the board at No. 5.

Armand Membou’s title is the one I hear most frequently because the man climbing draft boards. It’s a combo of the sort out class not being unbelievable, and Membou’s dimension, athleticism and potential. Most mocks have had the Jags tackle their defensive position, however the offensive line might use work too.

The Jags clearly addressed the offensive line a very good bit in free company however including a man like Membou doesn’t seem like it may possibly harm.

At 6’4”, 332 Membou has stable dimension and spent his total profession going up towards the perfect gamers faculty soccer has to supply. Say what you’ll about NFL Draft scores and assessments, however Membou put up the perfect general athleticism rating at his mix exercise, the fourth-best manufacturing rating and completed with the third-best general rating amongst all tackles.

Is drafting an offensive lineman ever attractive and even enjoyable? Nope. Wouldn’t it be good? Simply perhaps.

NFL.com’s Mike Band

To be honest, this can be a Graham mock. However not a standard one. Band is a part of the Subsequent Gen Stats crew and he has a very stable observe document of accuracy. During the last 5 years, Band ranks fifth out of 75 mock drafters in general accuracy in keeping with thehuddlereport.com.

So… Band predicts the New York Jets commerce up two locations with Jacksonville to pick out Travis Hunter. That makes a very good little bit of sense for New York because the Jets will want somebody to catch passes and hawk down defenders working after Justin Fields interceptions. The Jags get a third-rounder as compensation and transfer again to seventh general to choose Graham, somebody everybody thinks they’ll choose no matter the place they draft.

… Jags GM James Gladstone follows the capital-hoarding technique of former boss Les Snead, buying and selling down two spots whereas nonetheless nabbing the participant I’d have given them at No. 5. As intriguing as Travis Hunter would have been there, Gladstone and new head coach Liam Coen select to strengthen the defensive position with Graham — in keeping with Gladstone’s public emphasis on the trenches. The Jaguars employees already has a stable learn on this recreation wrecker, because of assistant linebackers coach Kevin Wilkins, who coached edge rushers at Michigan final season.

Fox Sports activities’ Bob Rang

Right here is one other enjoyable one. With the departure of Evan Engram, the Jags are left with Brenton Unusual as TE1. Whereas that was seemingly the play all alongside when Trent Baalke was working the crew, James Gladstone and Liam Coen may even see issues in another way. That stated, Rang mocks Penn State tight finish Tyler Warren to Jacksonville at No. 5.

The observe document for tight ends chosen within the high 10 is just not fairly, however Warren is among the many few elite skills of this class. Progressive offensive thoughts Liam Coen can be searching for any and each option to unlock Trevor Lawrence’s potential. Pairing Warren with final yr’s first-round star Brian Thomas Jr. might do exactly that.

This mock is just not a lot primarily based on match however fairly within the realm of Coen with the ability to elevate just about any offensive participant. Nevertheless, that is likely to be pretty much as good of reasoning as any. Warren ranked because the No. 1 general tight finish on the mix (no shock) and received the John Mackey award because the nation’s high tight finish final season. Extra Penn State tight ends to Jacksonville. Why not?

NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah

Transferring away from Graham for an additional mock, Jeremiah thinks the Jags nonetheless go protection within the first spherical. On this mock the defensive participant as an alternative is Georgia EDGE Jalon Walker.

Jalon Walker would kind a dynamic trio with Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, with the latter kicking inside on passing downs to provide all three gamers the prospect to hurry the passer on the identical time. Jalon Walker might play off-ball linebacker on early downs after which rush off the sting when it’s time to hunt the quarterback.

Jeremiah mentions Walker’s usefulness at a number of positions as a motive for Jacksonville to be excited about him. At UGA final yr, Walker performed 622 defensive snaps with 195 speeding the passer and 178 in protection in keeping with PFF. He missed simply seven tackles in 14 video games. He even performed 61 snaps within the slot.

Walker received the Butkus Award for being the nation’s finest linebacker and ESPN’s Matt Miller rated Walker because the No. 4 prospect on this draft.

It’s arduous to think about a greater coming-out occasion than the one Walker had towards Texas in Week 8, posting three sacks and 6 pressures towards the Longhorns’ two high-round sort out prospects. He adopted that up with one other massive day towards Tennessee (six tackles for loss, one sack) and added 4 tackles for loss and a sack within the SEC title recreation rematch with the Longhorns. He’s a twin menace as a linebacker and move rusher, with the pace and energy off the sting to make game-changing performs.

Clearly nobody is aware of for positive what the Jags could do come April, however drafting a man like Walker shouldn’t be fully off the desk. For a crew now centered on new-age scheming and analytics, a multi-position participant for the league’s worst protection shouldn’t be a far-fetched thought.
