The Jaguars are high on rookie safety Josh Evans, who was selected from Florida in the sixth round, reports the Florida Times-Union.
Jacksonville general manager Dave Caldwell said the team considered taking Evans in Round 3 but instead went with Florida International safety Johnathan Cyprien in the second round.
"We really liked [Evans] during the draft process," Caldwell said. "If we didn't get [Cyprien] as early as we did, he was our next guy that we were really targeting. We probably would have ended up drafting him higher than we did. What ended up happening is that [safety] wasn't as great a need for us because we got [Cyprien], so we tried to fill some other stuff, and Josh was still there. We were like, 'We were going to take this guy in the third, and now he is still sitting there in the sixth.'"
