The Jacksonville Jaguars have not had a lot of success with first round draft picks, but there have been some really solid second-rounders, and quite a few mid-round or late-round players that have exceeded all expectations. Let’s focus on those mid-round selections for today’s discussion, though. Generally, I think most would agree with my assessment that first and second rounders can be considered early round picks, while selections in the third/fourth/fifth round are looked at as mid-rounders, and of course sixth or seventh rounders are the late round wildcards. So, let’s recap some notable picks in Jaguars franchise history from rounds three through five (again https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Leonard-Fournette-Jersey , these are “notables” not all are “gems”): Round 3: 2018: Ronnie Harrison, SS, Alabama2017: Dawuane Smoot, DE, Illinois2016: Yannick Ngakoue, DE, Maryland 2015: A.J. Cann, OG, South Carolina 2014, Brandon Linder Keelan Cole Color Rush Jersey , OG/OC, Miami (FL.) 2009: Terrance Knighton, DT, Temple and Derek Cox, CB, William & Mary2007: Mike Sims-Walker, WR, UCF2006: Clint Ingram, OLB, Oklahoma2003: Vince Manuwai Malik Jackson Jersey , OG, Hawaii2002: Akin Ayodele, OLB, Purdue 2000: T.J. Slaughter, MLB, Southern Miss1996: Aaron Beasley, CB, West Virginia Quick Thoughts: Every player mentioned here was either a multiple-year starter or carved out a niche as a rotational player for the Jaguars. But the past five drafts have all been pretty successful for Jacksonville in the third round. The jury is still out on young players Ronnie Harrison and Dawuane Smoot, but Yannick Ngakoue is one of the NFL’s best pass-rushers, and Brandon Linder (when healthy) is one of the league’s top interior offensive lineman. Say what you want about A.J. Cann https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Cam-Robinson-Jersey , but he is a multi-year stater and the front office clearly believes in him as he was re-signed to the team this offseason. Other solid players such as Vince Manuwai (may he rest in peace), Aaron Beasley, Akin Ayodele, Terrance “Pot Roast” Knighton and Clint Ingram were significant role players for the team. T.J. Slaughter also put in a few productive seasons. This one seems like an obvious answer, but let’s do it anyway: The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected defensive tackle Dontavious Russell with their first of two seventh round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft.Russell, a three-year starter at Auburn at the tackle..." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteBig Cat Countrya Jacksonville Jaguars communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsJaguarsOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Jaguars Free Agency 2016Jaguars Film RoomNFL DraftJaguars Injury NewsLatest NewsJaguars select Dontavious RussellNew,8commentsEDTShareTweetShareShareJaguars select Dontavious RussellThe Jacksonville Jaguars have selected defensive tackle Dontavious Russell with their first of two seventh round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft.Russell, a three-year starter at Auburn at the tackle spot , fits the mold of physique wise of a Tom Coughlin/Dave Caldwell interior defensive lineman, standing at 6’3 319 pounds. He started all thirteen games for the Tigers Tashaun Gipson Color Rush Jersey , registering 36 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks. Most analysts project Russell as a nose tackle in the NFL, and he’ll likely compete for the back up role to Marcell Dareus with Abry Jones.The Jaguars had the 236th selection, but have traded it to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2020 sixth round pick. That wraps up the Jaguars 2019 draft, in all likelihood.
