The Jacksonville Jaguars select Brian Branch a safety from Alabama. The Jaguars could not believe that both Branch and their other coveted player were on the Board at this late point in the draft. Despite the other target being at a more elite position than safety the Jags take the top safety to tie together the back of their defense. Jacksonville has used a preponderance of first round picks on the front 7 of the defense in recent drafts and despite their desire for the other defender Branch is their man to lead the back end of the defense for years to come. The consensus top man at his position in this draft and a first round talent on their, and most boards, Branch it is.
The Giants and @inaugural balls are on the clock!
