Comments:
The Jaguars didn’t have many picks, but they pretty much fulfilled needs. Lewis is a tall tight end that doesn’t have the speed or flash, but at 6’6” with long arms and a big body, he’ll be a great end zone target.  Drew is extremely fast and quick, but at only 5’7” what will his durability be like?  I’m not sure if he’s an every down back, but he’ll get his shot.  If anything, he can become a dangerous return man.  Ingram is an every down linebacker that can cover.  Hawkins is a big-time pass rusher that will probably be converted to the linebacker spot because of his lack of size (6’2”; 240 pounds) to really compete as a defensive lineman in the NFL.  Wyche is a solid player, but will probably be broken in slowly.  Webb left too early as he could have used more seasoning. 
ENDSCORE GRADE: C
