Mel Kiper discusses sweet spot for Jags to draft a RB and prospects to watch

The Jacksonville Jaguars still have a lot of needs heading into the draft despite all the money they spent in free agency. But one that’s not being talked about enough may be the need at running back.

Sure, they have a first-round selection in Travis Etienne and star running back James Robinson, but both will be coming off season-ending Lisfranc and Achilles injuries, respectively. Etienne is on track to return sooner than Robinson, but it still would be wise to bolster the depth behind both after their respective situations.

The team lost one of its most experienced backup running backs, Dare Ogunbowale, in free agency who also helped out on special teams. That said, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Jags add a player with similar abilities who can help them offensively and possibly as a specialist.
