SAN JOSE, CALIF. | The Jaguars know and have said defense will be a priority when the free agent market opens March 9 and during the draft in late April.
Admitting the problem is an important step in the process. So that’s good.
What might be great is if the Jaguars’ foray into the defensive draft pool produces the kind of results experienced by Carolina and Denver.
The Panthers and Broncos have emphasized defensive in the first two rounds since 2011 and the success of those picks is a big reason why they’re playing in Sunday’s Super Bowl.
