The NFL draft is just weeks away and Jacksonville’s main focus is on the 17th pick in the first round. While the team did address some major needs in free agency, there is still room for improvement on the roster in several areas.

Two likely positions being considered for the Jaguars’ first-round selection are wide receiver and defensive back.

There are a few players who should be available when the Jaguars are on the clock at pick No. 17. Jacksonville needs a player who can fill their needs and provide an immediate impact.

1. Adonai Mitchell (Texas wide receiver)

Mitchell has been a popular name being linked to Jacksonville as a potential selection in the first round. Mitchell was one of the top college receivers and a lot of rankings have him as a top-five wideout. Mitchell is a bigger bodied receiver (6-2, 205 pounds), but he also has the speed the Jaguars are looking for. He ran a 4.34 at the NFL combine last month, ranking third among receivers. While Jacksonville lost Calvin Ridley and gained Gabe Davis. Mitchell would be a definite upgrade to the roster. When you turn on the tape, he plays just as fast. Mitchell is also the type of player who makes big plays when called on in big moments and that is someone the Jaguars could use.

2. Quinyon Mitchell (Toledo cornerback)

Mitchell is another name that has shot up draft boards recently and has been mentioned as a potential prospect for the Jags. Many consider him the top corner in this year’s draft. Mitchell is a bigger and more physical corner (6-0, 195 pounds) but he also has the speed needed to compete in the NFL, running a 4.33 at the combine. Mitchell is considered by many to be the top cornerback in this year’s draft and increased his stock by showing his skills against the top receivers at the Senior Bowl. Mitchell could fill in the hole that was left behind after Jacksonville released cornerback Darious Williams and would likely compete for the starting role opposite Tyson Campbell.

3/4. Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terrion Arnold (Alabama cornerbacks)

Both McKinstry and Arnold have also been mentioned in recent mock drafts as a potential pick for Jacksonville at 17 and either Alabama cornerback would be an instant boost for Jacksonville at the position. McKinstry comes in at 5-foot-11 199 pounds and Arnold is just slightly bigger at 6-foot and 196 pounds.

Arnold ran a 4.5 40 at the combine and while McKinstry didn’t run at the combine, he did clock in at 4.47 at Alabama’s pro day. While neither of those times seem as fast as you would want from your cornerback, both players play much faster and their ability to recover and break on the ball makes up for that. One NFC regional scout says McKinstry is the more reliable and consistent pick, but Arnold has more pure cover talent. Both players are versatile with the ability to line up on the inside or outside for the Jaguars. Either are also a good fit for Jacksonville’s new defensive system under defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen.

5. Brian Thomas Jr. (LSU wide receiver)

Thomas is another wide receiver that will likely be available for the Jags at pick No. 17. Thomas was the No. 2 wide receiver at LSU this past season behind top prospect Malik Nabers. While Nabers had the better season, Thomas definitely has all the intangibles that you want in a receiver. He has both size (6-3, 209 pounds) and speed (a 4.33 40-yard dash at the combine) and was a massive threat in the end zone. Thomas led the SEC last season in touchdown receptions with 17. The knock on him is that he isn’t as polished as some of the other top wideouts. With the right fit, Thomas could turn into the exact type of big-play receiver that Jacksonville is looking for.

We’ll just have to wait and see what the Jaguars will do. The first round of the draft is April 25 at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit, Michigan.
