This edition of NFL Draft Target Practice focuses on prospects who could entice the Jaguars during the first round.
Here are four first-round prospects to keep an eye on during draft season:
D.J. Moore
Position: Wide Receiver
School: Maryland
Height/Weight: 6-0, 210 lbs.
Career Stats: 146 catches for 2,027 receiving yards and 17 receiving touchdowns
NFL Combine: 4.42-second 40-yard dash, 15 reps on bench press, 39.5-inch vertical jump, 132-inch broad jump
Thoughts: Moore has a background with Jaguars wide receivers coach Keenan McCardell. The coach worked with Moore during his freshman season at Maryland. The wide receiver produced 25 receptions for 357 receiving yards and three touchdowns during his one year with McCardell.
The familiarity angle is a good one for the Jaguars. Jacksonville could use a dynamic presence at wide receiver and Moore seems to project heavy upside as a playmaker.
The Jaguars invested heavily in Donte Moncrief and Marqise Lee this offseason but neither is a sure-fire home-run threat. Moore - at the very least - could provide competition and insurance for Moncrief.
Dallas Goedert
Position: Tight End
School: South Dakota State
Height/Weight: 6-5, 255 lbs.
Career Stats: 198 receptions for 2,988 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns
NFL Combine: 23 reps on the bench press
Thoughts: The Jaguars have some room for improvement at the tight end position. While Austin Seferian-Jenkins was added during free agency, the Jaguars could still upgrade the overall group.
While he is a small-school product, Goedert was a playmaking machine at South Dakota State. Much like Moore, Goedert could be a bulk-production weapon for Jacksonville. Goedert has the ability to be a red-zone threat early on during his NFL career.
Mike McGlinchey
Position: Offensive Tackle
School: Notre Dame
Height/Weight: 6-8, 312 lbs.
Career Stats: 25 starts (12 at left tackle, 13 at right tackle) over last two seasons
NFL Combine: 24 reps on bench press, 28.5-inch vertical jump, 105-inch broad jump
Thoughts: If the Jaguars are looking for their "right tackle of the future," McGlinchey should offer some appeal. The Norte Dame product played on both sides of the line during his college career and he could seemingly be a strong option as a swing tackle as a rookie.
McGlinchey's versatility should be appealing to head coach Doug Marrone and offensive line coach Pat Flaherty. His ability to play both tackle spots would give the Jaguars options in case of injuries.
A "people mover" with really good balance, McGlinchey should be able to fit into the Jaguars' evolving blocking scheme.
Will Hernandez
Position: Guard
School: UTEP
Height/Weight: 6-2, 348 lbs.
Career Stats: 49 starts at left guard
NFL Combine: 5.15-second 40-yard dash, 37 reps on bench press, 104-inch broad jump, 24-inch vertical jump
Thoughts: Considered one of the best offensive linemen in the class, Hernandez should be a Top 40 pick. A career left guard in college, Hernandez would need to switch to the right side if he were to be picked up by the Jaguars. A competition between Hernandez and incumbent starter A.J. Cann would be an intriguing training camp storyline, to say the least.
Hernandez is an immovable object as a pass blocker. He could be a very trusty presence along the offensive line and protect quarterback Blake Bortles. From a run blocking perspective, Hernandez is an imposing force with the ability to run over defenders.
