The Jaguars entered the draft with quite a few needs on the defensive side of the ball and seemingly have grabbed one of the best defensive player with their selection in the second round to pair with Jalen Ramsey, who they picked with the No. 5 overall pick.
Jack, who will likely get playing time initially as a strong side linebacker and on third downs as both a linebacker and safety hybrid, is a freak of an athlete in a linebacker body. He can give the Jaguars sideline-to-sideline playmaking ability, as well as someone who can excel in coverage on third down and lining up against tight ends, something the Jaguars have struggled with for years.
What grade are you giving Dave Caldwell and the Jaguars for landing Myles Jack in the second round?
