Jags take 'calculated risk,' snag Jack after slide

Myles Jack, the former UCLA linebacker who fell out of the NFL draft's first round Thursday amid concerns about his right knee, didn't have to wait as long Friday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars took Jack with the fifth pick of the second round (36th overall) after trading up with the Baltimore Ravens to acquire the selection. The Ravens acquired the Jags' second- (38th overall) and fifth-round (146) picks in the deal.

General manager Dave Caldwell said it was time for the Jaguars to take some risks in the fourth year of their rebuild, and believes Jack was definitely one worth taking.
