NEEDS ANALYSIS
(NOTE: Needs appear in alphabetical order.) For the rebuilding Jaguars, free-agent additions Darqueze Dennard and Rashaan Melvin are nice players, but I wouldn't call them adequate replacements for the traded tandem of Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye. At the line of scrimmage, the defense has also bid adieu to Calais Campbell and Marcell Dareus this offseason. Edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue was slapped with the franchise tag, but he's made it clear he doesn't want to be in Jacksonville long-term. So, yes, this D requires some attention. The offense? Well, David Caldwell has plenty of work to do there, as well. This offensive line has been below average in each of the last two seasons, and the Jags could afford more explosiveness at running back and/or tight end to upgrade Gardner Minshew's supporting cast.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Silky smooth boundary cornerback with mirror-and-match footwork and the agility and athleticism to stay connected to routes. He has NFL recovery burst and the long speed to track vertical routes downfield. He has the twitchy acceleration to jump a throw and take it away if the quarterback lingers on the target, and he's quick to wrap and finish after the catch. He makes mental mistakes from time to time and occasionally loses awareness from zone. He's willing and capable in run support but needs better control as an open-field tackler. Henderson is a fluid cornerback with ball skills and burst and has CB1 ability as a first-rounder.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Possessing an impressive diversity of moldable pass-rushing ingredients and moves, Chaisson has begun putting the recipe together to become a game-altering pass rusher. While some long-limbed rushers lack the bend and leverage to maximize their length, his fluidity and agility allow him to dip, corner, change direction and close in tight quarters or with extended range. He's not a physical run defender and might be a liability early in his career against power. Chaisson's stock has gained momentum with his surging performance matching the elite athletic qualities. It adds up to an increasingly confident projection as an impact pass-rusher with Pro-Bowl potential.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
"2 Live" is both talented and stoic as a three-level threat with outstanding physical traits and ball skills. He offers explosive playmaking potential with strength/wiggle to house a short catch-and-run throw or race and leap to pull in a bomb downfield. Shenault shines as a phone-booth bully who's able to body up and create late windows while securing throws with vice-grip hands. Evaluators get excited by his talent as a direct-snap runner, but sometimes he's too physical for his own good, which could bring his history of durability into play. Despite his traits and talent, there is work to be done as route-runner and coordinators need to determine how best to use him. He's a high-end talent, but not a sure thing. An exciting ceiling but a lower floor.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Athletic 4-3 tackle who stacked good tape in back-to-back seasons and should garner consideration as a rotational interior lineman with eventual starter potential. He does a nice job of creating leverage with his initial strike and has the athleticism and closing burst to hound running backs with an extended pursuit radius. He flashes needed traits as both a one- and two-gapper, but better skill with his hand-fighting could help unlock quicker wins and clearer paths to the quarterback. His draft stock could be tied to how teams view his upside as a pass rusher.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Converted tight end who has added 75 pounds of good weight since stepping on campus but retained his plus movement. Despite a lack of experience and small-school background, his traits and rapid growth in body and play caught the eye of Senior Bowl evaluators. From a skill standpoint, he's still an undergrad, but on pace for his degree in tackle studies. He's an enticing left tackle prospect who continues to evolve, but a step up in competition and a need for continued physical development will require patience and could determine whether his final calling is swing tackle or starter.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Affectionately nicknamed "The Gnat" by teammates for his pesky, persistent coverage talent and playing style. He has no issues checking athletic boxes with quick feet, smooth hips and explosive speed. He has above average recovery burst and athleticism, so he should be able to make the move to the slot despite limited reps there. He lacks play strength for matchups against size and will go ankle-biting in run support in order to avoid heavy collisions. He has ballhawking traits and coverage talent is not an issue. His ability to stay healthy and overcome his size/strength limitations could be the difference between being a starting nickel or solid backup.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Four-year starter and team leader with a physical demeanor and impressive level of production. Quarterman is durable and dependable in the middle of the defense, but he lacks NFL range and has below-average short-area agility and quickness as open-field tackler. He's a linear, downhill thumper, but struggles to stay ahead of climbing blocks when runs flow wide. His size and toughness give him a shot as a backup inside linebacker.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Unheralded three-star recruit who was a late scholarship offer at Auburn, but became a consistent back-end contributor. He's well-built and plays physical football, but he's not necessarily a punisher. He has a good burst downhill into run support duties, but can be a little inconsistent with his angles. Thomas can cover tight ends and has some "big nickel" experience, but will be better off playing with his eyes forward in short zone or in the box. He has the size, explosiveness and special teams potential to compete for a roster spot as a backup strong safety.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Productive outside receiver with great size and ball skills, but below-average speed. May need to find an offense that allows him to work downfield, where size overrides quickness once the ball is in the air. He missed a chunk of 2019 due to a lingering hamstring issue, but looked fairly pedestrian against LSU's talented cornerbacks. He should work well against zone, but needs to play stronger to battle back against the contested catches he's going to see. Johnson may need a more limited route-tree that allows him to open up his stride and exploit size mismatches down the field.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Luton is an intriguing developmental quarterback with good size, adequate accuracy and an NFL arm. He's operated in a pro-style passing attack with plenty of play-action and has the ability to push the ball into space both intermediate and deep. He values the football with few fumbles and interceptions during his career, but he's more of a "ball delivery" passer than one who works through progressions and picks the defense apart. Mobility and making off-schedule plays aren't going to be his thing. He's a pro-style quarterback with developmental traits who could hear his name late on Day 3.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Tight end with adequate height, weight and speed, but lacking the route savvy of a pass-catching option or the toughness of an in-line blocker. Davis is a quarterback turned receiver turned tight end who plays a more finesse-oriented brand of football. He will struggle to uncover in and out of breaks and needs to stay on the move in the passing game. He's a positional blocker who has trouble sustaining at an NFL level.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
He moved from receiver to cornerback out of junior college, but a foot injury caused him to miss a chunk of action to begin the 2019 campaign, so his schooling at his new position is still way behind. Claybrooks' technique, awareness and instincts are nowhere near ready to see an NFL field and he hasn't put enough coverage flashes on tape to assume his speed and athleticism will project into cornerback long-term. He has a background at receiver and is a talented kick returner, which opens the door of opportunity a little more for him, but he's still such a raw prospect.
