Mel Kiper Jr. lowers Jacksonville Jaguars 2016 draft grade to a ‘B’

A home run.

That was the best way to describe what the Jacksonville Jaguars did in the 2016 NFL Draft. After having the good fortune of seeing Jalen Ramsey drop to them with the 5th pick of the first round, the Jaguars moved up in the second round to steal linebacker Myles Jack. By most accounts, the Jaguars nabbed two of five most talented players in the entire draft. After that, the rest of the draft was an afterthought.

With two new high level starters on defense, the Jaguars looked poised to become a competitive team for the first time in 5 or so years.
