After the 2016 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars fans were elated with the haul the team managed to snag. General manager David Caldwell needed a big draft class to start fixing the defense and he had presumably done that, lucking into cornerback Jalen Ramsey in the first round and stealing linebacker Myles Jack in the second.
Ramsey shined as a rookie and looks like a player ready to ascend to stardom, but Jack hasn’t been quite as fast out of the gate despite his equally impressive athleticism.
Things were supposed to be different in 2017, as the team announced early on that the UCLA product would take over the middle linebacker spot and longtime Mike linebacker Paul Posluszny would move over to the strongside.
