2015 NFL Draft Grades: James Sample, Jaguars Safety

The fourth round saw Louisville safety James Sample come to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday, providing the Jags with a safety who can compete immediately for the starting spot at free safety and will provide depth and special teams in a worst case scenario.

The move to pick up James Sample was important for the Jaguars in the 2015 NFL Draft because they finally addressed the free safety position, which they waited on until the fourth round and only put a bandaid on in NFL free agency with the addition of Sergio Brown. Sample could be the future at the position and will have to out-battle Brown and Josh Evans.
