2017 NFL Draft: Jacksonville Jaguars wrap up draft with Marquez Williams

The Jacksonville Jaguars have had a fairly balanced draft so far in terms of offense and defense, but the plan going in clearly was to try and improve the offense. They did so right away by taking superstar running back Leonard Fournette with the 4th overall selection of the 2017 NFL Draft, and they complemented that bold move by taking a fullback in the 7th round.

The Jaguars made it clear they wanted to move the offense towards a more run-oriented scheme, and head coach Doug Marrone prefers to have fullbacks as lead blockers.

Believe it or not, I did not study the fullbacks in the draft very closely, so I went to some more knowledgeable folks for information.
