The Jaguars made major changes this past weekend firing the offensive coordinator and benching quarterback Blake Bortles. Could Jacksonville go with a quarterback in the spot? It is the most likely scenario even though they could also use help at linebacker.

The Jaguars would be in a good spot selecting either Finley or Dwayne Haskins if he elects to go pro, but in this scenario we have Jacksonville selecting the more seasoned quarterback. Finley has led the Wolfpack offense to very good numbers over the course of the season.

North Carolina State is averaging 35 points per game and Finley has thrown for 3,789 passing yards and 24 touchdowns with nine interceptions.

Jacksonville is in a win-now mode and selecting a quarterback that can simply not lose them the game is the safest bet. There is talent at the running back position, with Leonard Fournette playing as one of the best backs in the game.

Add that with a top-flight defense and they could turn into a Super Bowl contender quickly. If the Jaguars do not go with a quarterback look for Devin white out of LSU to be the pick here.
