After a quiet first day of the draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected tight end Nate Boerkircher, defensive tackle Albert Regis, offensive guard Emmanuel Pregnon, and safety Jalen Huskey with their four second-day picks. There were mixed reactions to the Jaguars’ selections, so I gathered some, along with highlights, and more.

"Ultimately, we were jacked to end up with a player that we all have a ton of appreciation for… It's going to involve heavier tight end groupings that can tap into the current trend in the NFL and Nate offers that."@farahandfarah | #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/2FdEZUlFtB

Not many true "Y" type of tight ends in this draft class, but #TAMU TE Nate Boerkircher executed a lot of those duties after transferring from Nebraska. Didn't have overwhelming production but did a nice job as a blocker in-line and flexed out, and even pass pro occasionally. pic.twitter.com/yJIQW8GgCI
Nate Boerkircher says Liam Coen told him the plan is to "get him in their on 12 personnel." Physical blocker who "likes to put his face in the fan""I've made big plays in my career… haven't always had the most production, but when the ball comes my way, I've been able to…
Was there liquor in the war room when they drafted a blocking TE in the 2nd round???

No. 88, Jacksonville Jaguars: Emmanuel Pregnon, OG, OregonI didn't think they'd be able to get this guy at 56, let alone 88. He kicks ASS in the run game, prototypical guard size. Finisher in the run game too. Little bit of trouble range wise but this is my favorite JAX pick
Gladstone says they would not have projected Pregnon to be there at No. 88.
