The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of the worst defensive teams in the NFL in 2015 and a lion’s share of the blame fell on the atrocious pass rush, specifically from the LEO spot. The Jaguars were left helpless after first round pick Dante Fowler Jr. went down with a torn ACL in rookie minicamp, with Andre Branch and Chris Clemons playing significant time. Unsurprisingly, both veterans failed to provide consistent pressure and neither one is on the team anymore.
The Jaguars focused on defense in the draft, adding 6 players on that side of the ball, with 3 of those guys specializing as edge rushers.
