Mychal Rivera looking to become lead tight end on Jacksonville Jaguars roster

When the Jacksonville Jaguars effectively traded failed free agent signing Julius Thomas to the Miami Dolphins for Brandon Albert (with some 7th round picks involved), it presumably left a fairly big hole at at tight end. With what many touted as an impressive tight end class, it seemed natural the Jaguars would address the position in the draft.

Seven rounds came and went with no tight ends added to the Jacksonville roster.

Curious as it was, the Jaguars stood pat and decided to stick with what they have on the roster. While the usual faces will be a part of the group (Marcedes Lewis and Ben Koyack), one guy who may sneak into the starting lineup is former Oakland Raider Mychal Rivera.
