UCLA. Myles Jack. 5. player. 52. . Linebacker

The medicals won’t, and shouldn’t, scare the Jags away here. Myles Jack is a dominant player that will continue to improve the Jaguars’ defense which added Malik Jackson and will see the return of Dante Fowler. Jack is the most versatile linebacker in the draft and is a top-two overall prospect.

When you face the likes of Andrew Luck and Marcus Mariota each twice a year, then add two more games against Brock Osweiler (should he be the real deal), you need a defense that can slow these offenses down. Jack will help in doing exactly that as the Jags continue to rebuild and do it the right way. They could’ve gotten Ramsey here, but Jack seems to be the better fit and the cornerback position can be addressed in the second round with the likes of Artie Burns or Mackenzie Alexander.
