The Jaguars basically have three highly-rated defensive rookies in 2016 as Jack joins first-round pick Jalen Ramsey and 2015 first-round pick Dante Fowler, Jr. who missed all of last season.
What are the Jaguars getting with Jack? Here’s a look at his scouting report from NFL Mock’s Erik Lambert.
"Athleticism and versatility jump out right away. He has good snap anticipation and burst as a pass rusher but can also drop into coverage with smooth fluidity.No hesitation in his movement. He’s aggressive in attacking the line of scrimmage in run support and also on wide receiver screens.Times his blitzes really well, knifing into the backfield at just the right moment to have chances at stopping plays for losses."
