Jaguars gave this Alabama receiver the same draft grade as Trevor Lawrence

Who the were going to select with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft was never a surprise, and the team made those a sumptions official last month when they handed commi sioner Roger Goodell a card that read "." Lawrence was considered not only the best quarterback in this cla s, but one of the best players as well. Recently Dominique Wilkins Jersey , it was revealed there was another player the Jaguars were just as high on -- who ended up being selected by another Florida team.The Jaguars have been producing a team series on their official website titled which gives fans a look behind the scenes at the offseason, the draft and even rookie minicamp. Offering a behind-the-curtain look certainly opens you up to some Penny Hardaway Jersey things, and made an interesting observation that was pretty noteworthy. At about the 6:51 mark of Chapter 3, you can see Jaguars owner Shad Khan placing Lawrence's draft magnet at the top of the board. His draft grade clearly read 8.0, which apparently is very high. We know this because Yahoo Sports pointed out draft grades for several other prospects Jacksonville had on its board. There was another 8.0 grade, however, and that was former Alabama wide receiver . Waddle Cole Anthony Jersey played in just six games for the Crimson Tide last year due to injury, but still caught 28 pa ses for 591 yards and four touchdowns. The dynamic playmaker burst onto Dwayne Bacon Jersey the scene during his first season in Tuscaloosa, as he caught 45 pa ses for 848 yards, seven touchdowns and was named SEC Special Teams Player of the Year as well as SEC Freshman of the Year. He was named First Team All-SEC in 2019, and then Second Team All-SEC in 2020. Waddle was drafted by the with the No. 6 overall pick -- right behind fellow wideout, who went to the at No. 5. We don't know the draft grades the Jags had for players like Chase or Heisman Trophy winner , but it's clear the Jaguars were very high on Waddle, and he may have been their No. 1 receiver in the Shaquille O'Neal Jersey cla s. To share an 8.0 draft grade with Lawrence certainly makes it look that way.
