The team entering late April and May very much likes this group, with two second-year veterans \u2013 safety Caleb Ransaw and cornerback Travis Hunter \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p>CHANCE JAGUARS TAKE A SAFETY\/CORNERBACK ON DAYS 1-2 (ROUNDS 1-3)<\/p>\n<p>Ss\/CB ON THE JAGUARS ROSTER<\/p>\n<p>Corner <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/montaric-brown\/\" title=\"Montaric Brown\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Montaric Brown<\/a> (Twelve starts 2025), corner <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/travis-hunter\/\" title=\"Travis Hunter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Travis Hunter<\/a> (two), corner <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/jourdan-lewis\/\" title=\"Jourdan Lewis\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jourdan Lewis<\/a> (seven), corner <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/jarrian-jones\/\" title=\"Jarrian Jones\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jarrian Jones<\/a> (three), corner <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/christian-braswell\/\" title=\"Christian Braswell\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Christian Braswell<\/a>, corner <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/keni-h-lovely\/\" title=\"Keni-H Lovely\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Keni-H Lovely<\/a>, corner <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/keith-taylor\/\" title=\"Keith Taylor\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Keith Taylor<\/a>, safety <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/eric-murray\/\" title=\"Eric Murray\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eric Murray<\/a> (12), safety <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/antonio-johnson\/\" title=\"Antonio Johnson\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Antonio Johnson<\/a> (eight), safety <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/rayuan-lane-iii\/\" title=\"Rayuan Lane III\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rayuan Lane III<\/a>, safety <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/caleb-ransaw\/\" title=\"Caleb Ransaw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Caleb Ransaw<\/a>, safety <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/trevian-thomas\/\" title=\"Trevian Thomas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trevian Thomas<\/a>, safety <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/cam-ron-silmon-craig\/\" title=\"Cam&#039;Ron Silmon-Craig\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cam&#8217;Ron Silmon-Craig<\/a>, <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/jabbar-muhammad\/\" title=\"Jabbar Muhammad\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jabbar Muhammad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>BUCKY BROOKS&#8217; TOP 5 2026 SAFETIES<\/p>\n<p>Caleb Downs, Jr., Ohio StateKyle Louis, Jr., PittsburghDillon Thieneman, Jr., OregonEmmanuel McNeil-Warren, Sr., ToledoA.J.
