The Jacksonville Jaguars sit in a prime position to take a first-round talent with their pick at No. 33 overall. They should have a good opportunity to take a player with a first-round grade because teams in the latter half of the opening round may look to address needs, though all of them won’t.
With the NFL draft now officially two weeks away, Jaguars Wire wants to ask the fans what first-round prospect are you hoping falls to the Jaguars at 33. Some candidates include Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks, Georgia linebacker Nakobe Dean, or Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum.
Burks is a player who could fall because his combine numbers weren’t overly impressive by the NFL’s standards. His 40-yard dash time was a 4.55 (19th), a 33″ vertical jump (11th), and ran a 7.28 in the three-cone drill (ninth). These are some of the factors that typically cause bigger receivers like him to fall in the draft, but if it happened, it would give the Jags a chance to land the X-receiver they desperately need.
