The 2016 NFL Draft got underway Thursday. After many people wondered if Jalen Ramsey or Myles Jack would be a Jaguar, they wound up both landing in Jacksonville. Ramsey was selected at No. 5 overall. After trading up on Friday, the team took Myles Jack at No. 36. The team spent most of its remaining picks on defense as well. Yannick Ngakoue, Sheldon Day, Tyrone Holmes and Jonathan Woodard were all added to the mix. The team spent one pick on the offense, with the selection of quarterback Brandon Allen from Arkansas. Fans, media members and players were all praising the picks. See below for some of the best posts from the 2016 NFL Draft.
