Black And Teal

● By Mike Luciano
The Jacksonville Jaguars are playing out the string for the remainder of the 2024 season. It seems unlikely that franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be put in harm's way, meaning Mac Jones will likely be under center for a team that doesn't have the talent needed to save Doug Pederson's job. The Jaguars have a few pieces to build around. Travon Walker keeps getting better, Brian Thomas Jr. has been a stud, and Lawrence has looked good despite a complete mountain of dysfunction popping up in front of him. Trent Baalke, if he keeps his job, only needs one or two big hits in the 2025 NFL Draft to get back on the right track. The Jaguars need to improve their lackluster defense and get Lawrence one or two more weapons in order to challenge the Texans for AFC South supremacy. If they follow this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Jacksonville could start the post-Pederson era off well with a bang.
