52. . DT. Jacksonville Jaguars. Rashan Gary. 7. player

If Haskins is off the board don’t expect Jacksonville to make the surprise of the draft and pick up Kyler Murray. He doesn’t fit their offensive scheme and would take carries from former first-round pick Leonard Fournette.

Despite needing a quarterback, it would be too early to draft Drew Lock or Daniel Jones. This pick will be Rashan Gary, the excellent defensive tackle out of Michigan.

Coming out of Ann Arbor, there are concerns about Gary’s injury history as he missed a few games this season. However, when he steps on the field at 100 percent he is one of the most dominant players on the defensive line.

He helped Michigan’s defense finished as one of the best in the country, even though the Wolverines struggled in their last two games his impact was found throughout the season.

He finished the year with 38 tackles and three and a half sacks. Gary has the ability to rush the passer and can also plug in the gaps to stop any runs on the inside.

If the Jaguars pass on Gary look for Clelin Ferrel to be the popular choice.
