The Jaguars are on track for the start of the new league year with the first overall choice of draft and extensive salary cap.
We have a good idea they are going to pick fullback Trevor Lawrence with the first choice, and Urban Meyer, head coach, may have given a hint about the plans for later in the draft and the hood space Tuesday. He noted that the Jaguars “really struggled in many areas” against the defense and that he knows which place he wants to address first.
“I always believe that you build your team around the defensive line and then move backwards – so that’s what we’re going to do. . . . There is one commonality of great teams: they have good defensive lines, “Meyer said via the team’s website. “You can not avoid it. There are ways to hide other things, but you need to have a strong defensive line. We are committed to doing it here. ”
Meyer said he believes the team has some amazing young pieces in defensive end Josh Allen and defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton, who knows Meyer from Ohio State. Taven Bryan and K’Lavon Chaisson recently picked the first round, but Meyer’s words suggest there will be new faces ahead in Jacksonville.
