Most of the top safeties in the draft are best suited for the free safety position. However, the strong safety position is very important. It could be a position the Jaguars look to strengthen in the NFL Draft.
A strong safety plays on the strong side of the line of scrimmage. The strong side is the side on which the tight end lines up. He is responsible for pass coverage on running backs and tight ends. Equally important is his ability to tackle and he must play much like a smaller linebacker. He must be at least 6-foot tall and weigh over 200 pounds since he will engage defensive linemen on the field.
