Jaguars shooting for a star in draft after tumultuous recent past

Don’t tell Dave Caldwell there should be heightened tension around EverBank Field as he enters his third NFL draft as the Jaguars' general manager.

The Jaguars have seven wins in the last two seasons and Year 3 is usually need-to-show-progress-or-else time.

“I think we’ve had a sense of urgency since we’ve got here,” Caldwell said. “We’re continuing with the vision and plan we have.”

That vision-plan began with a floor-to-ceiling tear-down (only eight players remain from 2012 or earlier) that featured emphasizing the draft and also creating salary cap space for heavy 2015 free agent activity.
