Jacksonville Jaguars big ‘winners’ of the 2016 NFL Draft

The Jacksonville Jaguars had high expectations heading into 2016 after a solid free agency period, but the bar has been raised even more with a terrific draft class.

Gregg Rosenthal over at NFL.com declared the Jaguars the big winner of the 2016 NFL Draft, touting the patience of the Jacksonville front office and their ability to peak at the exact time they needed to.

This is how a rebuilding organization is supposed to do it. By Year 4 of the new front office’s program, the organization should be cresting. While the Jaguars didn’t improve last year like they wanted, the pieces are now in place for a dramatic upgrade on defense.
