Devin Lloyd NFL Draft Predictions, Stats & Profile (Updated)


Updated (Friday, April 29, 1:29 a.m. ET): The Jacksonville Jaguars traded back into the first round to select Devin Lloyd at No. 27 overall. Lloyd should be the leader this young Jags' defense sorely needs, and Jacksonville couldn't have asked for a better replacement for Myles Jack, who bolted via free agency this offseason.
Devin Lloyd's draft stock has been on a roller coaster this offseason. He was once considered a top-20 lock and now may not even hear his name called in the first round. The volatility of being a linebacker prospect seems to be rearing its head once again.
If you're looking to familiarize yourself with the 23-year-old and his defensive versatility, here's everything you need to know about the young linebacker.
