Pro Football Focus recently compiled a list of three players who they thought were the best from every NFL team, and there were several interesting names on it when looking around the league. The trio that was listed especially was interesting for the Jags because they shockingly listed two players on offense and just one on defense.
Those players were quarterback Trevor Lawrence, guard Brandon Scherff, and edge-rusher Josh Allen. Bill Linsey, who made the list, also had cornerback Shaquill Griffin and Christian Kirk down for honorable mentions while providing the following insight on how he came up with a Jags trio:
The Jaguars have spent aggressively in free agency the last two offseasons, but they haven’t really added any elite talent in the midst of all that spending. Scherff is the closest they got to that caliber of player — a “very good” guard who has had his troubles staying on the field over the course of his career. Still, his addition should help the offensive line in 2022.
The hope is that No. 1 overall pick Travon Walker proves to be a snub on this list, but as of now, Allen still projects as the top edge rusher on this team next season. His 78.6 PFF grade in 2021 was a career-high.
Lawrence’s inclusion is based largely on who he was as a prospect coming out of Clemson and the glimpses shown as a rookie. The disastrous environment he was thrown into last season takes much of the blame for his 59.6 PFF grade as a rookie.
