  Speaker 1: With the night pick in the NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: select c J. Henderson, defensive back Florida. With the pick,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars select Svan Casan linebacker L s U.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Welcome into the Jaguars Draft Daily podcast presented by your
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: local Ford Dealers J P. Shadrick with Ryan Sexton. After
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars select two players in the first round of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty NFL drafts T. J. Henderson from the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: University of Florida the cornerback coming to town, and Caleb
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and chas On the defensive end linebacker from l s
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: U and Brian two defensive players. First of all, there
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: was all those rumors that they could go offensive tackle
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: or wide receiver or heck even quarterback and move up
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and do some things. But at the end of the day,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: two needs on the defensive side of the ball in
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: an ever changing side of the ball for this organization,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and it seems like they have two guys that can
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: come in right away and make an impact. Well, if
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we talked about over the course of the evening, two
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: guys at premium positions, I mean, the pass rushers in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the corners are so critical. The way the game is
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: played today. You know, here's what we don't know. We
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: don't know what Dave's A plus plan was, right. I mean,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: there were rumors early in the day he was talking
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to the folks in Detroit. Was he trying to get
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: up in front of someone to grab a specific player. Um.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: The best laid plans on draft night fall apart and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: people's opinion because for weeks, especially this year with the quarantine,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: people have been inside and their brains go with the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: players they know and they like, and they come up
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: with their plans. Well, the Jaguars ended up with two
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: players at premium positions. By all accounts, good kids are
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: really good players. I don't know if either one is
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: an elite player. But when you line up a talent
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: like Jason across from Chutch Allen, well he's better, you know. Um,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and this kid everything we hear about C. J. Henderson
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: as he was considered by many the equal of Jaffe
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Couda from Ohio State, and the Jaguars love his length,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they love his aggressiveness, and they needed a young star.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Is that the right way to put it? Corner? They
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: needed a guy that they could build their secondary around,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and by all accounts. C J. Henderson is that guy.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So I know people are thinking, well, they didn't get
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the quarterback and tackle, they didn't get see you lamb,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Well they got two players of positions of meat who
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: are really good players from the best conference in college football.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit more about c J. Henderson though,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: As we said, all the changes on that at that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: cornerback position over the last six months here, it's it's
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: hard to imagine how fast that change for the Jaguars organization.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: First of all, we've we've talked about this many shows
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: over the months, how fast things have changed from New
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: England in the postseason. Um. But then you bring a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: guy like Henderson in here, and you know he has
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that little something to him. Just hearing him in that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: press conference after the draft selection tonight, it seems like
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: on the field he can turn it on. Yeah, he's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: not gonna be a flashy guy off the field. I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: don't think it just did. That first impression goes a
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: long way, you know it Just it seems like he's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: gonna be very reserved. Here's the concern that I have.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: When Jaylee Ramsey showed up in you had to show
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: up in there a young veteran, a guy who's been around,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: been on good teams and bad teams, knew how to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: keep everybody in a need and keel and especially the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: mercurial Ramsey who needed that calming voice. You don't really
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: have that. I mean, Jared Wilson was a first year
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: starter last year. Trey Henderson same thing, or Trey Herndon
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: rather Herndon and Henderson. And if you get used to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: saying that, UM and Ronnie Harrison has not reached his potential,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: but he certainly got the key thing, the length, the speed,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the aggressiveness, UM and a pedigree from the University of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Florida and the Southeastern Conference that leads you to believe
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that you can plug him in and play him. And again,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the people that I talked to this week, especially this week,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: said watch C. J. Henderson come up the board. Now
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: he is different. There's a line of demarcation. It's a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Kuda Henderson and then there's a fall off before you
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: get some very talented guys. I mean, Terrell was a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: top player at Clemson. Still sitting out there is Trevon Diggs. UM.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You know there are good players, but Henderson is up
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: there with a kuda at the very top talent wise,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: which is why the Jaguars went with it, because they
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: knew if they waited until twenty for a cornerback, they
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: were going to settle for a guy that they couldn't lean. J. P. Shatick,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexton. This is the Jaguars Draft Daily podcast presented
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: by your local Ford Dealers with the twenty pick Calevan
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Chase Son from L s U. Listen to that as
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: a defensive end and linebackers, so and his as you'll
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: hear him say, I'm sure in clips coming up in
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the next week, he's not just a one trick pony.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: At least in his mind. He feels he can cover guys,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he can rush the pastor and he can play the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: run and do all that. And you know, in the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: last year or so, he I think he kind of
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: proved that at L s U. He had some standout
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: performances in Baton Rouge and that's a good sign for
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: this defense really certainly is well again JP. L corner
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: This is a premium position. And we talked a little
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: bit off the air about the Jaguars are moving forward
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: from nikonk Way. I mean that ship appears to either
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: have been burnt if you know your history, and Cortez
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: or sailed if you want to use the more modern analogy.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: But it appears that they needed to move on and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in Chason they get a bigger right. He's almost six four,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: he's almost two hundred and sixty pounds. He's a much
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: different style of player than Unique, but he's also a guy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And I heard Doug Marrow would say this, who could
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: play sam linebacker in your base defense and then put
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: his hand on the ground and rushes a defensive end.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I think you're listing him as a defensive end slash
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: line back. That's right. You don't find many guys that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: are naturally gifted enough to be able to say where
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: he's a base sam linebacker, which means he can get
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: out in coverage with the tight end or back out
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of the back field, and then he's a pass rusher.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Those guys are rare. The last guy I've heard that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: said about was Josh Allen. Pretty good pairing for them. Again,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: high praise, but we're talking about one of the better players.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: He was all SEC. Josh Allen was the SEC defensive
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Player of the Year. I think what the Jaguars have
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: done is given themselves two guys they can plug into
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: situations and say let's go play. I love it. Now.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: The question is what's next? What is next on Day
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: two of this draft of the Jaguars. It could be
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a receiver, it could be an offensive tackle. Those are
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: still kind of out there. Those were pre draft knees
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that we talked about. But what is your feel at
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: least early in the second round. Well, I think there
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: are quality receivers to be had throughout the second and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: third round, and from what everyone who knows says, even
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: into the fourth round, where the Jaguars have three picks.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Um My hope is, as it always says, that they
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: go with their board and they take the best player available.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I get a guy who will probably be sitting there
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: at forty two, and that's a young, talented tight end,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the best guy in this draft, col Camet. He is
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a six six, He is a an inline blocker. He
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: is a guy. He's not a polished trout runner, but
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he gets open down the field. He played a Notre Dame,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: so he played again in a very high level of
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: college football, and he might fit right there at forty two.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: They grabbed Tyler Ivor he played all sixteen games last year.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: That's good, right. The duck Josh Oliver he didn't play
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: much last year. It doesn't he doesn't have a long
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: track record to play an Ifford. The Jaguars would not
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: make a mistake if at forty two they took a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: tight end that they had a good enough great on
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to go there. Um I I think if receiver is
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: as talented as they say, I think I would lean
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: towards a guy who could put his hand on a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: route and block what we needed too. That could be
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: connect work, could be an offensive line, big guys on
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the offensive side. When we return on the Jaguars Draft
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Daily podcast, we'll hear from the gentleman who made the
• 8:13

• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Dave this, Uh, you got two good players that can
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: come in and play right away for you. It seems
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: like on the defensive side, two big pickups tonight, David, Yeah,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to two big pickups, had two big positions to need
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: for us, and um, two really high character guys at
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that love ball and are all about team and uh,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: we're excited to have both of them. At the cornerback position. Uh.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: C J. Henderson can can really move really good, strong
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: outside cornerback and then chasing a guy that you can
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: move around and he can do a lot of different
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: things on the defensive side. It feels like absolutely, I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: think you know one of the positions I need. But
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: they were also the highest rated players that we had
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: on the board. So it worked out perfect really as
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: far as you know, you know, getting your highest players
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: than going in the position and need I think just
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: kind of like what Dave said, I mean, we we've
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: done a lot of research on these guys, about them,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: make up what they're about. You know, they're good football players.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Would feel that, you know, they're the best football ahead
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of them. Um, you know they had great career, the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: great university and um, you know I talked to Boat
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: guys and and and and they're excited. Um, the players
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: on our team are excited. Like I said, you guys
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: have the ability to come in and and really really
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: help us. Dave, going back through the interview process, it
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: was a little shorter this year than normal, But how
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: much did you sit down with c J. Henderson? What
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: stood out about those conversations with a corner from Florida. Well,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you can tell CJ. He's all business. He Uh he's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: pretty stoked in his expressions. He's a man of few
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: words and uh he lets his play uh speak. Yeah,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: we heard that in the media call after the selection
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: there he didn't have a lot to say, but uh
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: he says it with his play on the field. Doug,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: what about Chase On. I know that they don't hand
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: out that number eight teen jersey that l it's you
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: for just anybody. That means he's uh, pretty strong guy
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: off the field too, and the guy they really believe
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it down there pretty special, you know. You know, Coach Oh,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: coach ore On at l s U and I coach
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: together the thing. So you know, we've had a lot
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: of good conversations, you know, leading up to obviously has
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: choose the Jason and um, you know, he couldn't say
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: enough great things about him obviously as coaches you can
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: see things on tape and you can see the player,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: but you know, every day and and and Coach O had,
• 11:29

• 12:13
  Speaker 1: close to clock time when you were on the clock.
• 12:16

• 12:19
  Speaker 1: had some calls that you weren't really expecting today, earlier today,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: But um, how did that go when it was actually
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: time to make a pick? Yeah? It was really the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: calls that were leading up to a kind of disappeared
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of the trade guy, the guys that we thought about
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: trading with, and so we just kind of stayed put
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: in um and made the selections. Doug. Finally, the communication
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and all the technology tonight, everything seemed to at least
• 12:43
