The Jacksonville Jaguars selected North Carolina defensive lineman Raymond Vohasek in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL draft with the No. 227 overall pick.
Vohasek, who measured in at 6’2, 306 pounds, likely slots in as a defensive end in the Jaguars’ 3-4 defense and could play defensive tackle in four-man fronts.
After transferring from a junior college, Vohasek played four years with the Tarheels and recorded 17 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks with the team. In 2021, he received an All-ACC honorable mention.
The No. 227 pick was the second of back-to-back selections for the Jaguars, who took Appalachian State offensive lineman Cooper Hodges with the No. 226 pick.
Earlier in the draft, the Jaguars added Oklahoma State defensive lineman Tyler Lacy in the fourth round. While Jacksonville likely hopes Lacy will collapse the pocket with interior pressure, Vohasek could be a space eater in the way that Folorunso Fatukasi is for the team.
The Jaguars have one more selection after picking Vohasek.
