-This was a surprise to everyone, including the Jaguars who didn't believe they would get the chance to select the cornerback.
- Dan Kadar of SB Nation gave the Jaguar's draft grade of selecting Ramsey, an A.
This had to be one of the more effortless picks in the top 10 to make. Ramsey is an NFL-ready superstar who can star at cornerback. Ramsey fits perfectly in Gus Bradley's defense thanks to his size and physicality. With Ramsey and the addition of safety Tashaun Gipson, the Jaguars now have an imposing pass defense.
