There won’t be a youth movement in Jacksonville anytime soon, and it appears that Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer isn’t ready to hand over the reins to some of the team’s top draft picks, at least not this early into the season.
That much was made clear on Sunday when just four out of the team’s 2021 draft picks were made active, just one, quarterback Trevor Lawrence, would receive more than 29 snaps on the day.
In the offseason, Jacksonville spent significant capital on acquiring talent via the NFL Draft. With the first-overall pick in multiple rounds throughout the event, many predicted they’d be able to get immediate help to bolster a roster that was coming off of its worst season in franchise history.
