The Jacksonville Jaguars picked Oklahoma State defensive lineman Tyler Lacy in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL draft with the No. 130 overall selection.
Lacy visited the Jaguars prior to the draft and told Justin Melo of The Draft Network that teams talked to him about playing multiple positions across the defensive line.
In Jacksonville, the 6’4, 279-pound lineman likely slots in as a defensive end, although the team values versatility and likes moving players around on defense.
Lacy recorded 30 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks during his collegiate career at Oklahoma State.
With the Jaguars, Lacy will join a defensive end group that includes Roy Robertson-Harris, Folorunso Fatukasi, and Adam Gotsis. With little depth behind that trio, Lacy is on the inside track to make contributions as a rotational lineman during his rookie season.
Lacy was the second defensive player picked by the Jaguars in as many picks during the fourth round along with linebacker Ventrell Miller.
