Alabama's T.J. Yeldon becomes the third running back off the board (Shutdown Corner)

This running back class was considered to be pretty strong, but the opinions seem split on T.J. Yeldon.

The Jacksonville Jaguars had a clear opinion on Yeldon: They really liked him. They took Yeldon with the fourth pick of the second round, 36th overall. He went ahead of backs like Boise State's Jay Ajayi and Nebraska's Ameer Abdullah.

And with that, Jacksonville has another piece for a growing offense that added quarterback Blake Bortles and rookie receivers Marqise Lee, Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns last year.
