It was a long journey, but the 2022 NFL Draft has concluded for the Jacksonville Jaguars. They left the process with seven prospects, most of whom were on the defensive side. The Jags also signed 16 undrafted free agents, and when considering the team had the league’s worst record the last few years, two to three of them may make the team.
