The 2020 NFL Draft is in the history books and will be one Jacksonville Jaguars fans remember forever. That’s not just because it was the first
Here are six takeaways we gathered after reflecting back on the selections made this weekend:
The Jags and league were higher on C.J. Henderson than some fans
While some fans were fine with the selection of Florida cornerback C.J. Henderson others weren’t. However, when looking at how the cornerback class flew off the board in Round 1, it was clear Henderson was probably graded high on a lot of boards.
After Henderson was taken, A.J. Terrell came off the board at 16, then Damon Arnette at 19, followed by Noah Igbinoghene at 30, then Jeff Gladney at 31. Aside from Gladney, a lot of the aforementioned names were mock to teams in the second-round, which is a sign that the league’s front offices were higher on them (especially Henderson) than speculated.
All of that said, maybe Dave Caldwell was right to go with Henderson but only time will tell as the coverage skills are undoubtedly there.
