The 2023 NFL Draft is getting closer and closer, meaning mock drafts are heating up for the Jacksonville Jaguars and every team across the league.

More specifically, insiders like ESPN's Todd McShay start shaking up their simulations because of one very important thing: information.

Remember, mock drafts from those in the know are all about what they're hearing and not what they're seeing in the prospects. The latter is reserved for the "Big Boards."

At worst, these mocks provide a relative idea of where a team might be leaning in several scenarios. Let's dive into the two players McShay mocked to the Jaguars in his latest mock draft.

Pick 24: TE Dalton Kincaid, Utah

Boom! Not a defensive player for the Jaguars here despite what many would expect. Why? The team is getting another weapon for Trevor Lawrence. I can't blame them for that.

Consider it a bet on the best player available while banking on finding a solid defender later in the Draft (more on that later).

Kincaid is the first tight end off the board in this mock and it simply makes sense considering where the league is headed. Although not a refined blocker, Kincaid might be the best pass-catching tight end of the class.

Here's McShay's full breakdown of the pick:

Trevor Lawrence has excelled throwing to bigger targets, dating back to his Clemson days. And while the Jaguars franchise-tagged Evan Engram, they could look to add another tight end to the offense — especially if that tight end is 6-4 and just caught 70 balls for 890 yards and eight TDs last season. Kincaid accelerates away from coverage, brings down 50-50 balls, and tacks on yards after the catch. Why Kincaid over Notre Dame's Michael Mayer? Mayer is the better blocker, but Kincaid is the more explosive pass-catcher. He's a seam-stretcher who would fit perfectly in this Jacksonville offense.

Although defensive concerns will stay alive in this scenario, Jaguars fans will be happy about getting another high-end weapon for Doug Pederson's offense.

After all, they'd be getting an explosive weapon for Lawrence that can create nightmares and matchup problems for opposing defenses as a tight end. 

"Gets to top gear quickly, and this ability makes him a viable vertical threat," writes A to Z Sports' draft analyst Tyler Browning. "Has adequate long speed, but his burst to get to top gear is so quick defenses are forced to account for him."

Pick 56: CB Tyrique Stevenson, Miami

Fortunately for the Jaguars, Stevenson was available at Pick No. 56. The former Hurricane provides top-tier man coverage skills. 

"Good mirror and match ability in man, especially on releases," writes A to Z Sports' Browning. "Doesn’t open his hips too early. Has shown the ability to stay on top of routes as well as stay in the receivers hip pocket. Excellent technique in press. Has shown the ability to squeeze the route towards the sideline."

Here's McShay's full breakdown of the Jaguars' second-round draft pick: 

The Jags allowed 7.5 yards per attempt on passes thrown outside the numbers last season, 26th in the NFL. They need more playmakers at corner beyond Tyson Campbell and Darious Williams. Stevenson picked off a pair of passes last year, and he has the burst and strength to be effective in press.

The Jaguars would probably love the NFL Draft to shake out this way. Less than a month from now, we'll learn how the dominoes will really fall.
