BTB Community Mock: Pick #16, The Jacksonville Jaguars Select...

We've reach the end of the first half of the BTB Community Mock Draft and the Jacksonville Jaguars are on the clock. This part of the first round is a place where the Cowboys could be very interested in trading down to, in order to acquire extra picks. Let's take stock of what positions have been selected to this point.

QB: (3), RB: (1), WR: (2), DL: (4), LB: (1), OT: (2), CB: (2)

Jacksonville is on the clock and it looks like they are ready to turn in the pick.

Draft Pick # 16

Team Name: Jacksonville Jaguars

GM: gogokroz

Selection: (DE) Aldon Smith, Missouri

Why the pick:

I could have gone a lot of different ways with this pick. I was heavily leaning toward Leonard Hankerson, WR, The U, but I'm hoping he makes it to their 2nd pick. I love Watts and Jordan here, too. However, this team needs someone who can get to the QB, and get to him with a quickness. The front four are good, but do not have a lot of sacks. In this conference, with the QBs they play, he gives them the best chance to pressure and get to the QB. He will also make the secondary better by forcing the ball out faster. This is a good line now, and teams had better be prepared.

Follow the jump for analysis of the pick.

-- Drafttek.com ranked #17 Overall, #4 at the position

-- Wes Bunting, National Football Post: #8 Overall, #2 at the position

Impression: A downright dominant defensive lineman with an impressive physical skill set and great length. Showcases impress savvy, fluidity and violence as a pass rusher and should be able to further develop in the run game and mature into a potential Pro Bowl-caliber NFL defensive lineman.

-- CBSSports.com ranked #19 overall, #5 at the position

-- Scout.com ranked #18 overall, #3 at the position

-- Mike Mayock ranked #14 overall, #3 at the position

This young man has so much potential, it's scary. Put the 2009 game tape on against Russell Okung and Danny Watkins and you'll get a better view of what he can do. He played through a lot of pain last season.

- NFLDraftScout.com profile:

Pass rush: Great length and upper-body development with room to grow and become a top-notch pass rusher. When given the green light to attack the passer, he is able to turn the corner or quickly go outside-in to get a more direct path to the QB. Uses strength to get movement in his bull rush; able to release with his hands to harass a scrambling passer. Moves inside to a three-technique spot on some plays to take advantage of his quickness, as well as his height, to disrupt passing lanes (seven pass breakups in 2009-2010). Jumps over and uses his hands to beat cut blocks.

Run defense: Potentially strong edge run defender as 4-3 end or 3-4 linebacker. Stays balanced out of his stance, extends his arms to keep distance, able to shed to get to the ball on either side of the block. Good backfield awareness. Willing to lower his shoulder and stand his ground against pulling guards and moving tight ends. Gets down the line while engaged to be involved on inside runs. Beats reach blocks to get into the backfield.

Explosion: Still more potential than practice as a pure outside pass rusher, but shows glimpses of explosive ability on the edge. Pops his man with big swipes to get past blockers. Brings a punch in his bull rush, sometimes knocking back even strong college tackles.

Strength: Plays stronger than his height/weight numbers indicate. Does not give up room when holding the line. Violent with his hands, able to push aside blockers when rushing the passer or shedding to chase ballcarriers. Still requires time in pro strength and conditioning to gain 15-20 pounds before becoming a three-down player as a 4-3 defensive end.

Tackling: Uses his long, strong arms to wrap up quarterbacks and ballcarriers in the backfield; can chop down hard to force fumbles. Speedy chase tackler who closes well for his size due to that length, hustle, and straight-line speed. Misses tackles when leaving his feet early or short-arming (ducking his head and not fully extending.)
