Take: The Jaguars should, and will, draft Brian Branch

Welcome to the first edition of my “Take” series, where -- you guessed it -- I’ll be writing my takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

To kick it off, I’ve fully talked myself into a first-round draft prospect: Alabama safety Brian Branch.

In no particular order, Jacksonville’s biggest needs are defensive back, pass rusher, and offensive lineman. If Joey Porter Jr. or Myles Murphy or Darnell Wright are available at 24th overall, the team would probably fumble its phone around trying to call in the pick.

Let’s assume the top of the cornerback, edge, and offensive tackle classes will be gone by Jacksonville’s expected draft slot.
