The 2021 NFL draft will likely always be remembered by Jaguars fans as the class that featured first overall pick quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The Clemson product was considered a generational prospect when the Jags drafted him, and though he had a frustrating rookie season, there’s still a lot of hope surrounding his future.
However, while the Lawrence pick was a no-brainer and one that should put the franchise in a good position in the future, the rest of the class was also important as the team tries to build around him.
That’s where Jacksonville faltered a bit. Travis Etienne, the team’s other first-round pick, missed his entire rookie season with a Lisfranc fracture. He remains a largely unknown commodity, as does much of the rest of the class. Second-round pick Tyson Campbell started at cornerback for most of the season, and while he improved quite a bit, he was really the only major contributor other than Lawrence in this draft class.
