Jaguars draft results: Ohio State DT Michael Bennett to Jacksonville

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Ohio State defensive tackle Michael Bennett in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft with the No. 180 overall pick.

Bennett was a Third Team AP All-American selection as a senior for the national champion Buckeyes and a First Team All American on CBS Sports. He racked up 14 tackles for a loss and seven sacks in 2014 and 11.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks as a junior in 2013. At 6'2, 293 pounds, Bennett will project as a penetrating three-technique defensive tackle for the Jaguars and could be a five-technique as well.

In Dan Kadar's list of the top 300 players in the 2015 NFL Draft, Bennett was projected as a second round pick and the 45th best player overall. His slide down the draft board surprised many, including Bennett:
