Draft analyst Mike Mayock says he could see Jaguars taking Amari Cooper with third pick

NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock conducted a conference call Thursday afternoon.

I asked him if the Jaguars taking Alabama receiver Amari Cooper with the third-overall pick would be tough to defend or a good decision in his view.

Most analysts expect the Jaguars to address their defensive line either with Florida's Dante Fowler Jr. or Southern California's Leonard Williams.

Here was his response:

"My golden rule in the first round, especially at the top, is you'd better get yourself a good football player. The boom-or-bust guys for me would not even be in play.
