Jakobi Meyers, traded to the Jaguars from Las Vegas, quickly established himself as Trevor Lawrence's go-to target, catching 42 passes for 483 yards and three touchdowns for Jacksonville after the mid-season trade. Meyers returned a 95.2 passer rating when targeted, an impressive mark for a player jumping into a new system midseason. Jaguars general manager James Gladstone noted Meyers' 'superpower is not dropping the football.' Meyers has three WR2 finishes in the last five years and hasn't finished lower than WR30 over that span, yet is going as WR42 in Round 8, the third Jacksonville receiver off the board behind Brian Thomas Jr. (WR33) and Parker Washington (WR37). Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox ranked Meyers at number six among the most underrated wide receivers in the NFL entering the regular season, and USA Today's Jake Boico suggested Meyers will enter the season 'as one of the most underrated wide receivers in all of football.'
