Jaguars lose 2 more defensive linemen, agree to sign 2 vets
The Jacksonville Jaguars are down two more defensive linemen, bringing their total to five just a week into training camp. The Jaguars placed defensive tackles Brian Price (knee) and Dontavius Russell (hip) on injured reserve Sunday, adding to a depth problem created when defensive end Lerentee McCray and defensive tackle Al Woods opted out of the 2020 season because of the coronavirus pandemic. Defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, the only franchise-tagged player in the league to not sign his tender, is seeking a trade and skipping team activities.

The Jaguars add a defensive piece to their rebuild with Henderson, a confident, smooth cover corner whose pre-2019 tape showed the best of what he can be, even with some tackling and playmaking worries.

The Yannick Ngakoue era in Jacksonville is clearly over now thanks to the selection of Chaisson, a traits-heavy pass rusher with versatile skills. Both the Jags' first-round picks are attempts to correct earlier franchise mistakes, which is the only thing we don't like about them. Are they tanking for Trevor?

This could be an A grade in a few years. Or, if Shenault’s injury history continues, far lower. You can line him up inside or out, in the backfield and even as a “Wildcat” QB, which might suit the Jaguars' needs on offense. Shenault has electric ability if he stays healthy. We’re quietly optimistic he can help in some way.

Yahoo Sports Commentary
A few years ago, the Jaguars were loaded on defense. Now three of their first four picks are on that side to help replenish a need. This is a blue-collar pick in Hamilton, who really impressed us in the games Chase Young missed due to suspension. Hamilton is a power player who can be a rotational contributor and add a little toughness inside. He might not be special, but he’s a solid piece.
