At pick No. 194 overall, in the sixth round, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Auburn linebacker Jalen McLeod. Let's break it down.
McLeod is listed at 6-1 and weighs 236 pounds, and brings a versatile presence to the Jaguars' front seven. During his time at Auburn, McLeod lined up both as a pass rusher and in the box as a linebacker.
He's been a steady contributor along the Auburn defensive front the last two seasons, averaging just under 35 pressures per season during that span as a pass rusher and a blitzer. He's also averaged six-plus sacks as well.
For what it's worth, McLeod has also graded out well against the run by PFF's metrics at the SEC level.
