This may be a relatively low-profile position for the Jaguars this weekend, particularly at cornerback. The team entering late April and May very much likes this group, with two second-year veterans – safety Caleb Ransaw and cornerback Travis Hunter – expected to return from injuries and bolster a solid area. With Hunter and veteran Montaric Brown expected to start on the outside, and with veterans Jourdan Lewis and Jarrian Jones strong at nickel, corner could be a low priority on draft weekend. The Jaguars also feel good about their safety position, with Ransaw expected to push for a starting position in a group that already includes veteran Eric Murray and rapidly improving veteran Antonio Johnson. Look for that trio to play extensively as the Jaguars emphasize three-safety packages on defense, but this is an area the Jaguars could address this weekend.
