The Jacksonville Jaguars enter the draft with the greatest need for a cornerback and an offensive line. The Jaguars finished the 2019 season 6-10 and their first win came in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans. Jacksonville also defeated the Broncos, Bengals, Jets, Raiders and Colts.

CJ Henderson, the defensive back prospect from the University of Florida, spent three years with the Gators and is entering the draft one year early as well. He has 93 career total tackles, 66 solo and 27 assists, in addition to six interceptions, two defensive touchdowns, 20 pass deflections and two forced fumbles.

Henderson posted 33 total tackles in 2019 (26 solo and seven assists) in addition to 11 pass deflections for the season. He will fill the voids along the Jaguars’ defensive line.

The Florida defensive back’s size, athleticism, flexibility and play recognition ability will give the Jaguars an edge with this versatile prospect.
