Despite the team’s 1-15 finish in 2020, the Jacksonville Jaguars entered this season with some optimism. With a rookie franchise quarterback and a new administration in place, there was hope that the team would at least show signs of progress in Year 1.
That didn’t ultimately end up being the case, and after a 3-14 finish that resulted in the dismissal of head coach Urban Meyer and fans wanting to see general manager Trent Baalke gone, it’s time to reconsider the way Jacksonville approached the offseason, and, especially, the 2021 NFL draft.
In a postseason draft re-grade from Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox, the Jaguars earned just a “C” grade, which is understandable given the overall lack of an impact from rookie players this season aside from Trevor Lawrence in terms of the offense.
