Jaguars stay focused on defense in Round 5, drafting Louisville edge Yasir Abdullah and Texas A&M safety Antonio Johnson.
Both picks continue to add reinforcements to the defensive side of the ball for Jacksonville. Johnson was mocked to the Jaguars much earlier in numerous drafts. Picking him up in the fifth round is considered a steal for Jacksonville.
He had 164 tackle in three seasons and 14 tackles for loss. Johnson had just one career interception but provides some depth at the nickel cornerback spot currently held by Tre Herndon. Abdullah, who was pick No. 136, fills another need for edge rusher and he’s an aggressive player that should see meaningful snaps in a reserve role. Abdullah had 23.5 career sacks and 43 tackles for loss, numbers that rank among some of the best in ACC history.in the fourth round earlier Saturday.
