With the first round of the NFL Draft complete, a former Florida State defensive lineman has been projected to go to the Jacksonville Jaguars by Nick Baumgardner of The AthleticThe mock draft from Baumgardner attempts to predict the second and third rounds following Thursday night's completion of the first. The Jaguars set off fireworks in the first round by trading up for former FSU commit Travis Hunter.

At pick No. 70, Joshua Farmer would be the fourth defensive lineman picked in the third round or higher in the last four years.

With that being said, the Seminoles have been known for producing top-tier defensive line talent, with Jared Verse and Braden Fiske both wreaking havoc in offensive backfields throughout the 2024 season. Both players were finalists for the Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, with Verse taking the mantle.

In 2022, former Seminole defensive end Jermaine Johnson went to the New York Jets in the first round.

Farmer provided some impressive statistics for the 'Noles on the football field during his four seasons.

During his collegiate career, the Florida State DT played in 42 games for the Seminoles and recorded 80 total tackles, 21 tackles for loss, two pass deflections, 11 sacks, and one forced fumble.

Should Farmer go to the Jaguars, he would be staying relatively close to home, as he is a Havana, Florida, native. His hometown is about 30 minutes from Tallahassee and 2.5 hours from Jacksonville.

The 2025 NFL Draft is currently being held in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It began on Thursday with the first round, Friday will hold rounds two and three, and Saturday includes rounds four through seven.
