Mia’s Mock Draft Monday 4.0

Mia O’Brien’s Mock Draft Mondays are powered each Monday in the month of April by The Yass Method for Pain-Free Movement. Say YES to YASS! As we’ve gone through three weeks of this exercise (and the exhaustive lead-up to the NFL Draft), one common trend has emerged: the Jacksonville Jaguars will be going DB-OT-Edge rusher in some order through their first three picks of this week’s NFL Draft. In Mia’s Mock Draft Monday’s alone, we’ve gone OT-Edge-DB, DB-OT-TE-Edge, and […]

Mia O’Brien’s Mock Draft Mondays are powered each Monday in the month of April by The Yass Method for Pain-Free Movement. Say YES to YASS! Sheesh! Didn’t realize so many of you would be outraged at my first-round selection in Mia’s Mock Draft 2.0, but here we are (as always: I do appreciate the spirited feedback).

Keeping the Jaguars together: Here’s the plan

By Hays Carlyon The Jaguars are riding high off surging to the AFC South title and a thrilling playoff win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Good times are here. The culture is fantastic, led by coach Doug Pederson and quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The key is keeping it together, which in the NFL is difficult with the salary cap. The Jaguars rank 30th in salary-cap space at $28.1-million OVER, according to spotrac.com. There are 15 teams currently projected to be over the […]

Magical run ends as Jaguars fall at Chiefs in divisional round

By Hays Carlyon KANSAS CITY, Mo. – This will be the last time the Jaguars are double-digit underdogs for a long while. Perhaps years. Perhaps a decade. The losing is over. A magical season ended Saturday in the AFC Divisional Round as the mistake-riddled Jaguars lost to Kansas City 27-20 at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs, favored by 10 points, didn’t commit a turnover while the Jaguars had two. There is certainly sadness that the spectacular six-game winning streak finally ended. […]
