With Jalen Ramsey gone, Jaguars pick 3-time All-Pro DL in 2016 NFL redraft

With Jalen Ramsey off the board in Pro Football Focus' 2016 redraft of the first round, the Jacksonville Jaguars have to go in a different direction.

Following a 5-11 season in 2015, the Jaguars held the fifth overall pick in 2016 and selected Ramsey. However, in PFF's redraft, Ramsey went fourth overall to Dallas, so the Jaguars pivoted and selected interior defensive lineman Chris Jones.

"Jones is a sure-fire Hall of Famer, and a big part of the Kansas City Chiefs‘ dynasty over the past seven seasons — including three Super Bowls. He has earned PFF pass-rush grades above 90.0 in six of those campaigns. His 80.5 career sacks already place him 199th all time. Over the past five seasons, Jones trails only Aaron Donald in PFF WAR among defensive tackles."

As mentioned, Jones has put together an impressive career, which also includes being a six-time Pro Bowler and a three-time All-Pro, and he is still operating at a high level. According to PFF's metrics, Jones has averaged a whopping 92 pressures over the last three seasons.

Ramsey, meanwhile, played three-plus seasons with the Jaguars before being traded to the LA Rams. With Jacksonville, he made 51 starts and totaled nine interceptions with 45 pass deflections.

Over his career, Ramsey has made seven Pro Bowls and three first-team All-Pros, along with winning a Super Bowl in LA.

"The newest Pittsburgh Steeler has been the most valuable cornerback in the NFL since he was drafted in 2016, according to PFF WAR, and owns the highest PFF coverage grade in that span (92.8)," wrote PFF.
