Jaguars 2008 Draft
| Pick | Player | Pos | Ht | Wt | College | |
| Round 1, Pick 8 (8) (From Ravens) | Derrick Harvey | DE | 6'5" | 252 | Florida | |
| Pick Analysis:The Jaguars moved up with an eye on getting after the opposing quarterback, especially Peyton Manning. Harvey is a natural pass rusher and his best football may be ahead of him considering he came out as a junior. He's got a great first step and is a tremendous athlete. |
||||||
| Round 2, Pick 21 (52) (From Buccaneers) | Quentin Groves | DE | 6'3" | 250 | Auburn | |
| Pick Analysis:The Jaguars add another pass rusher to their defense. Although Groves had 26 sacks at Auburn, he's got some quirks in his game. If he can get everything going mentally he will be a good player. |
||||||
| Round 5, Pick 20 (155) (From Browns through Cowboys) | Thomas Williams | OLB | 6'1" | 238 | Southern Cal | |
| Pick Analysis:Williams has been a backup most of his caeer at USC. He played four spots, including LB and FB. He's a smart guy who's going to be a solid special teams player at this level and bring effort, intensity and passion to that phase of the game. |
||||||
| Round 5, Pick 24 (159) | Trae Williams | CB | 5'9" | 193 | South Florida | |
| Pick Analysis:Overshadowed by Mike Jenkins on the other side at South Florida, Williams was also a solid cover corner. He does not necessarily possess as much talent as Jenkins, but was a main reason for the Bulls' surprising run early in 2007 with his strong play in the secondary. He fell a bit on draft boards, but still holds good value at this spot and gives the Jaguars a young corner to develop under stalwart veteran Rashean Mathis. |
||||||
| Round 7, Pick 6 (213) (From Raiders through Cowboys) | Chauncey Washington | RB | 6'0" | 211 | Southern Cal | |
| Pick Analysis:Washington lacks some football intelligence. He started at USC in a tailback by committee situation. He's a strong inside runner with a solid build. He's a backup-type player and could develop into a good kick returner. |
