Jaguars use NFL draft to find offensive help for QB Lawrence

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:27:29 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars closed the NFL draft the same way they opened it: by getting quarterback Trevor Lawrence some potential help.Jacksonville ended the three-day event Saturday by selecting Houston fullback Derek Parish in the seventh round, with the 240th overall pick. It might normally be a throwaway choice, especially in a draft that lacked depth, but general manager Trent Baalke and coach Doug Pederson were looking for someone to boost the team’s short-yardage packages.And they landed on Parish, a 6-foot-2, 245-pound defensive end who is converting to fullback for his shot at making an NFL roster.Few teams even have fullbacks anymore in a pass-happy league, but the Jaguars are experimenting in hopes of finding more short-yardage success after ranking 25th in the league last season on third-down runs.“The fullback position has been nonexistent pretty much in our league. It’s kind of gone away,” Pederson said. “I grew up with a fullback in this leagu...
