Following three days of minicamp practices, let’s put together a revised projection of what the Jacksonville Jaguars’<\/a> depth chart looks like for the defense<\/p>\n As we mentioned when breaking down each positional depth chart on offense<\/a>, what takes place in minicamp won’t solely determine playing time and final roster decisions. Ultimatley, training camp and the preseason will carry the most weight.<\/p>\n That said, minicamp is a piece of that puzzle, and during these practices, there are players who stand out. The foundation for the start of training camp is laid during the offseason programs.<\/p>\n So with that in mind, here is an early guess on where things stand on defense.<\/p>\n Defensive endDE Josh Hines-AllenDE Travon WalkerDE Wesley WilliamsDE Danny StriggowDE Zach DurfeeDE BJ GreenDE Bryan Thomas Jr.DE Quindarius DunniganExpert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n We know who the top two spots on the depth chart belong to, but after that, there’s a lot of guesswork taking place right now. As a fourth-round pick, Williams gets the early DE3 nod — the Jaguars<\/a> will want to see what he can do, not to mention he brings a well-rounded skill set to this position, which will help earn more opportunities. I have Striggow at DE4 given his experience over Durfee and that he played more defensive snaps last season than Green.<\/p>\n Defensive tackleDT Arik ArmsteadDT DaVon HamiltonDT Albert Regis’DT Ruke OrhorhoroDT Matt DickersonDT Quinton BohannaDT Keivie RoseDT TJ BollersDT Jalen Hunt<\/p>\n The first five spots on the depth chart seem pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n LinebackerFoye OluokunVentrell MillerDennis GardeckJack KiserBranson CombsJalen McLeodParker HughesYasir Abdullah<\/p>\n The first three players listed are the starters when the Jaguars are in their base 4-3 look.
