Jaguars: 3 options with first overall pick in 2021 NFL Draft

The Jacksonville Jaguars find themselves in a captivating situation heading into the 2021 NFL Draft. After a riveting hire in Urban Meyer, the Jaguars find themselves in a position where they must build a coaching staff that is able to develop high-end talent. Specifically, at the quarterback position. Expected to have more than $70 million in cap space for 2021, this organization can build a contender in the next three to five years if everything goes as planned.

The first overall pick was the key reason Urban Meyer agreed to come out of retirement and coach a losing organization. Everyone knows that Meyer does not enjoy losing. Jacksonville won’t get this thing turned around overnight. In addition, they can thank the New York Jets for gifting them the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft after sitting at number two overall for most of the season.
