The 3rd round was 80% more dramatic for the Jaguars than we expected. Derek Cox, the corner from William & Mary (or the Flat Hat Club, as I call them) was a stunning pickup that cost the Jaguars their 2nd round pick next year. I get the impression that he's a stealth prospect that other teams were hoping would fall, but Jacksonville pulled the trigger early.
(H/T to Leon321 for finding these Cox videos)
At this link you can find a great video of an 89 yard punt return for a touchdown against Northeastern in 2008:

Terrence Knighton is a more traditional run-stuffing defensive tackle. Not much drama there.
What do you think of the draft so far? Any other surprises?
