player. 52. The Jacksonville Jaguars are the most disappointing team in the NFL so far this season. With all of the talent they have acquired recently, this was supposed to be the year they turned it around. But there they are, still in the cellar of the AFC South with a 2-6 record. <p>What we have to wonder about now is if head coach Gus Bradley will survive the offseason. In this mock draft, he does because he has dramatically improved the Jaguars defense this year. But QB Blake Bortles is holding the team back right now, throwing way too many INTs</p> <p>Perhaps he is not yet the guy that can put the offense on his back, go out there and win games. He has the outside weapons at WR and TE to do so but he’s not quite that guy yet. So getting a star running back to help him out would go a long way for him and the Jaguars.</p> <p>I have mocked Leonard Fournette here every time until now but it is possible they go with Dalvin Cook. He’s a better fit for the zone-stretch scheme and has more elusiveness and speed. That elusiveness is the reason why he hasn’t been hurt like Fournette has, which also may be a factor.</p>. RB. Florida State. Dalvin Cook. 3
