The players at the Senior Bowl wrapped up their third practice Thursday in front of the Jacksonville Jaguars and the league’s other 31 teams. Despite bad weather, both squads put together a solid day of practice indoors and a lot of coverage came out of Thursday’s session, which marked the last practice.
When considering all of the Jags’ needs heading into the 2020 season, here are some players who stood out Day 3 that the Jags could eventually target:
Josh Jones, OT, Houston
We mentioned Josh Jones before the Senior Bowl kicked off as a player for Jags fans to watch because there were mix reviews on him, however, his performance in Mobile has made a lot of people believers. My comrade at Bleav Podcast Network, Tony Pauline, was iffy on him as a tackle but Jones showed he can handle his own on the outside.
Jones finished his week strong in Mobile and Day 3 was his strongest. As seen above he was basically a wall all day, dominating North Carolina’s Jason Strowbridge and others on his team.
Denzel Mims, WR, Baylor
I know we’ve mentioned receiver a lot this week, but the fact of the matter is the position was the most impressive in Mobile and the class is strong overall. Denzel Mims obviously didn’t want Van Jefferson and KJ Hill to steal the show entirely and had a strong series of days in Mobile, too. He had one of his most impressive grabs of the week Thursday, which was a one-hander in the back of the end zone.
Mims has also displayed great body control throughout his career. His cutting ability is something he’s also displayed over time, which will help him tremendously with separation in the NFL. At 6-foot-2, 208-pounds, Mims is a player the Jags could target outside of the top two rounds if they can’t go with a receiver Day 1 or early in Day 2.
Antonio Gandy-Golden, WR, Liberty
If the Jags want a big receiver outside of the top-2 or top-3 rounds, Antonio Gandy-Golden certainly made a case for their interest. He came into the Senior Bowl and weighed in at 6-foot-3, 222 pounds and progressed throughout the week while showing he can hang with the big boys.
Gandy-Golden displayed good body control throughout the week and also showed nice ability out of his breaks. He’ll likely be a Day 3 selection and would give Jags receivers coach Keenan McCardell a nice developmental player to groom.
