Reader Grade
. Safety. Louisville. JAMES SAMPLE. A-
With 50% of those polled ranking the selection of James Sample as an “A” it is tough to think otherwise. Missing out on a true majority (51%) brings it down to an “A-.” Free safety was a position of need and the Jaguars waited until round four to address it.
Daniel Lago
JAMES SAMPLE. A. . Safety. Louisville
“Sample is considered by some the best coverage safety in the draft, which is exactly what the Jaguars need in the back end.”
Luke Sims
B. . Safety. Louisville. JAMES SAMPLE
“James Sample may be an upgrade, but he’s an unproven player. The guy only has one season of starting in the college ranks under his belt.”
