The Jaguars are on their way to the start of the new year of the league with the first general choice of the draft and massive wage cap space.
We have a good idea that they will choose quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the first choice, and coach Urban Meyer may have hinted at plans for later in the draft and for that limit on Tuesday. He noted that the Jaguars “really fought in many areas” in defense and that he knows which point he wants to attack first.
“I always believe that you build your team around the defensive line, and then you go backwards – so that’s what we’re going to do. . . . There is a point in common between great teams: they have great defensive lines ”, said Meyer, through the team’s website. “You cannot avoid this. There are ways to hide other things, but you have to have a strong defensive line. We are committed to doing this here. “
Meyer said he thinks the team has “some great young players” at the defensive end Josh Allen and full-back DaVon Hamilton, whom Meyer knows from Ohio State. They also chose Taven Bryan and K’Lavon Chaisson in the first round, but Meyer’s words suggest that there will be new faces in Jacksonville.
