If the Redskins were one team which won the draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars could easily be considered the other, and that forces a rise in NFL power rankings.

Jacksonville was fortunate enough to eliminate itself from being one of the numerous quarterback-shopping squads in the draft by signing former Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Foles during the offseason, and the hope is he can replicate some of that playoff magic in 2019 while being a clear-cut upgrade over the no-longer-starter-or-Jaguars signal-caller, Blake Bortles.

That alone is a bonus, and another big one was being able to land Florida offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor all the way at No. 35 overall. Most big boards had Taylor tabbed as the top offensive line prospect in this year’s draft. Getting him in Round 2?

An absolute steal.

So was Kentucky EDGE Josh Allen, who somehow managed to slip past the Raiders, Buccaneers and Giants right into the Jags’ collective lap.

Don’t overlook San Jose State’s Josh Oliver, either. He’ll be a nice boost to Foles’ passing targets.

Jacksonville is hoping to just forget 2018 happened, looking to get back to what the team was a year before. By all signs, the Jags are on the right track.
