2017 NFL Mock Draft: Aftermath of Greatest Super Bowl
52. Priority 1 for the Jacksonville Jaguars obviously needs to be fixing QB Blake Bortles. The team has a solid defense so they don’t need him to light up the scoreboard. They just don’t need him to throw 16 INTs like he did in 2017 to put the defense back on the field. <p>A solid running game, something the Jaguars don’t currently have, would do Bortles some good. Someone that could draw eight defenders into the box would leave one-on-ones outside. And Bortles would have a much easier go of it when he’s asked to throw.</p><div class=. RB. LSU. Leonard Fournette. 4. player
Leonard Fournette, is the kind of guy that could carry the load for the Jaguars. I actually like Dalvin Cook more but John Conklin has authority of personnel now and he likes big backs. So Leonard Fournette is a good fit for the type of physical team Conklin wants to build.
At 6’1″, 230 pounds, Fournette is very physical and has the speed to go the distance along with it. He also has some wiggle when he choses to use and good hands in the passing game. This could be just what the Jaguars need to make their way up the AFC South standings.
