JACKSONVILLE – The Jaguars' defense improved in the 2016 NFL Draft.

On that point, few would disagree.

How much improved? According to NFL Media Draft Analyst Lance Zierlein the answer is the Jaguars' defense improved more than any other defense in the NFL.

Zierlein ranked the Jaguars No. 1 on his list of the six teams that improved the most on defense in the '16 draft, citing the additions of players such as Jalen Ramsey, Myles Jack, Yannick Ngakoue and Tyrone Holmes among the reasons.
