DRAFTED BY
Jacksonville Jaguars
Round 7 • Pick 7
PLAYER ANALYSIS
A Miami transfer, Johnson is a big, nifty-footed runner with enough run strength and burst to be productive in a downhill power scheme or as a one-cut zone runner. However, he will have to take better care of the football and make strides in pass protection to earn carries.

Round 5 • Pick 1
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Big-framed, smart, active, high-effort player who willingly does the dirty work and will make it difficult for coaches to cut him. Best chance to stick could be as a five-technique, but could also draw interest as a developmental left end. Has the makeup to surprise if he learns to play with power.

Round 7 • Pick 39
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Wiry, smoother-than-sudden, off-man/cover-3 corner who upped his visibility as a junior by showing improved playmaking ability, which prompted a premature leap to the NFL. Could compete for a job as a No. 4, but lack of ideal explosiveness, top-end speed and bump-and-run ability limits his ceiling.

Round 3 • Pick 15
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Lean, athletic, long-limbed hybrid safety with an appealing combination of fluidity, range and physicality. Versatile defender who can be deployed over the top as a “robber” or in the box. Has starter-caliber ability if he if he’s able to shore up his tackling and become a more productive on-the-ball defender, but at worst should be a solid backup and core special-teams player.

Adequate-sized, smart, experienced, competitive center who commanded the offensive line, made all the calls and was a team leader for the Rams.

Pure dropback, strong-armed thrower who will require patient, confidence-building play-calling and a clean pocket to function at a high level in the NFL.

A true tweener, Darby is built like a cornerback but lacks the foot speed to match up 1-on-1 with receivers and does not have ideal bulk for the safety position. Has overcome a lot of adversity in his life, was recognized as the first player to don Pat Tillman's jersey in practice for his hard work and leadership and has make-it intangibles that could resonate with a coaching staff and inspire a locker room. Is worth trying as a zone corner, could add depth to a secondary and compete on special teams.

Compact, thickly built, mid-major workhorse with a blend of one-cut and downhill elements. Generally gains what is blocked for him and has a ceiling as a No. 2/tandem back in a man- or zone-blocking scheme. However, he is not a talented enough runner to overlook or tolerate his fumbles and deficient pass protection, and he will have to earn trust before he earns carries.

Athletic, competitive, rough-around-the-edges backyard quarterback who left school a year early and did not garner a combine invite. His mechanics will never be used as clinic tape (oftentimes was under duress, causing his footwork and fundamentals to deteriorate), and he would benefit from time on the practice squad, but Smith does have enough talent and moxie to warrant developmental consideration as a potential backup down the road.
