JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — One of the positions the Jaguars could be looking to fill early in the NFL Draft is cornerback specifically the nickel corner position.
Several mock drafts have the Jags taking Alabama corner Brian Branch in the first round.
We've been told the Big Cats showed interest in Branch at Alabama's Pro Day and he could potentially start at nickel corner right off the bat pushing Tre Herndon to the fourth corner position.
Branch offers versatility to the Jags defense.
He could play nickel corner which was his natural position at Bama but also play a role as an effective pass rusher for the Jags.
