Jaguars
The Jaguars and 49ers surprised many during the draft by deviating from consensus rankings, with skepticism surrounding Jacksonville’s choices, as some executives questioned their strategy and player selections. Rookie TE Nate Boerkircher acknowledged his underwhelming college stats were due to being overshadowed by teammates rather than underutilization. Meanwhile, the Titans’ selection of WR Carnell Tate at fourth overall raised concerns about his speed, with some believing LB Arvell Reese would have been a better pick. Overall, opinions on both teams’ decisions reveal a mix of skepticism and surprise from league insiders.
