Jacksonville entered this year's draft with 21 out of 22 of their starters from last year returning, leaving right tackle Jawaan Taylor as the only starter to depart via unrestricted free agency. Harrison likely replaces Taylor, while the team also deals with the looming suspension of left tackle Cam Robinson.
The team elected not to spend money in free agency, instead signing several of their own impending free agents. In the draft, Jacksonville looked to shore up several of its holes and they began the draft weekend by filling the void the team had at tackle after Taylor left via free agency. There was a lot of action earlier in the night within the AFC South with the Houston Texans making two blockbuster selections, including taking Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud with the No. 2 overall pick before trading up from pick No. 12 to No. 3, selecting Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson Jr.
Moments later, the Indianapolis Colts followed up by selecting Florida Gators QB Anthony Richardson, making that two new quarterbacks in the AFC South. The Jaguars own two picks, Nos. 56 and 88 during the second day of the draft, Friday, April 28. The second round of the event will begin at 7 p.m.2022: LB Devin Lloyd, Utah2020: CB C.J.
