The Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t make the sexiest pick Thursday night, but they added beef up front and bolstered the group in charge of protecting Trevor Lawrence.
By adding Anton Harrison, the Jaguars got a player who was credited with allowing only one quarterback hit over his last two seasons with the Oklahoma Sooners.
Here’s a look at the player Jacksonville is adding up front:
