Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer has consistently preached availability, health and sports performance during his availabilities since being hired by the team in January.
On Friday, he and general manager Trent Baalke took a risk that was perhaps out of his comfort zone, selecting two players that raise eyebrows and have missed a significant number of football games as of late.
While concerning, both could be worth the risk due to the high level of play both players exhibited in their recent, and for at least one player, now-distant past.
With pick No. 45, the team’s second, second-round pick on Friday the Jaguars selected former Stanford offensive tackle Walker Little.
