2015 NFL Draft: James Sample the Answer at Free Safety for the Jaguars?

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell just finished his third draft class with the franchise, and he’s finally getting to the point where some of the mid-to-later round draft selections aren’t guaranteed starters. The depth on this roster is miles ahead of where former GM/destroyer of worlds Gene Smith left it after the 2012 season.

One mid-round draft pick who might have a clear path to starting is 4th round pick James Sample. The less heralded of the two Louisville safeties in this years draft, Sample has received some extraordinarily high praise from a handful of analysts in the media.
