JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – One round of the NFL draft is in the books and the Jaguars picked up two players on the defensive side of the ball that they hope will help address major holes.
The consensus around the country is that Jacksonville did very well on Thursday night by drafting Florida cornerback CJ Henderson ninth overall and LSU linebacker/defensive end K’Lavon Chaisson 20th. That’s two major holes Jacksonville addressed.
