3. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars may not be in the market for a quarterback after the emergence of Blake Bortles in the playoffs. Bortles is still regarded as a player who isn’t quite established, however, which means Jacksonville could indeed look Mason Rudolph’s way.
Considering the Jaguars are already a championship contender, Rudolph would have a chance to join a team that’s ready for him to enter.
Jacksonville finished the 2017 regular season ranked No. 2 in the NFL in both yards and points allowed. It has an elite pass rush, an exceptional secondary, and an outstanding linebacker corps that rounds this dominant unit into form.
The Jaguars also have significant postseason experience that includes a trip to the AFC Championship Game—reason enough to be intrigued.
It’s also worth noting that Jacksonville has an explosive running back in Leonard Fournette. Fournette may not be a superstar just yet, but he’s the type of talent who could make life significantly easier for a rookie quarterback.
Rudolph needs to improve his accuracy when working outside the pocket, but if Jacksonville bolsters its offensive line, he could be a culture-changing presence.
