The Jacksonville Jaguars select Josh Allen, DE, Kentucky

Quick, tell me if you thought Josh Allen would be available when the Jacksonville Jaguars would make their first pick at No. 7. The pass rusher from Kentucky was there for the taking as the NFL Draft got a jolt when the Oakland Raiders took Clelin Ferrell of Clemson.

Now, the Jaguars have another pass rusher to add to their front four who can rush the passer. With Calais Campbell and Yannick Ngakoue already on the line, Allen adds another dimension of speed to the Jaguars pass rush.

The Jaguars came into the first round needing help most notably at right tackle and tight end, but also was thin at the defensive end position.
