Jacksonville Jaguars 2017 NFL Draft: Is Jonathan Allen the easy answer?

Mel Kiper Jr.’s mock drafts get plenty of attention across NFL media. He is one of the most insightful draft analysts and his word is often quoted from casual football fans to other NFL personalities.

So when Kiper says that Jonathan Allen should go to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2017 NFL Draft (mock draft version 3.0), the idea spreads – not that Allen in the top-five is a surprising notion. With his recent arthritis revelation, Allen’s stock is starting to take some hits and wane. Even the John Oehser at jaguars.com opted for running back Leonard Fournette over Jonathan Allen.
