The 2016 NFL Draft gave the Jacksonville Jaguars an absolute gift when the Dallas Cowboys passed on cornerback/safety Jalen Ramsey who the Jags then selected fifth overall.

Jalen Ramsey at fifth overall was a no brainer. This was clearly reflected on Twitter as Jags fans (and players) began reacting immediately following the Dallas Cowboys’ selection of Ezekiel Elliott and the Jacksonville Jaguars’ subsequent selection of Ramsey.

Here are some that stand out.

Like we said right from the start. This is a draft pick that everyone can get behind. The Jaguars came away with an absolute gift courtesy of the Dallas Cowboys and now the entire fan base is literally crying from happiness. There was nobody else who rivaled Ramsey in value for the Jags and he was an easy selection.

This is a special draft night for the Jaguars and another example of general manager Dave Caldwell just getting it right. He’s made a lot of progress after his first selection of Luke Joeckel and his last few drafts have been exceptional. The 2016 NFL Draft looks like a continuation of this trend.
