Jaguars assistant GM Ethan Waugh discusses roster, edge position ahead of OTA's
After the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Brian Thomas Jr. in the 2024 NFL Draft last month, general manager Trent Baalke revealed assistant general manager Ethan Waugh was impressed with Thomas' speed and had an up-close look at him during the NFL Combine in early March. Waugh expounded on those comments last week during a media availability at Jacksonville's rookie minicamp. Waugh said even though each team at the combine has a suite they can watch from, he felt like he couldn't see players from the Jaguars'.

Expert Commentary
The Jaguars get brownie points for trading down here. Thomas is an explosive wide receiver who has the physical frame that the Jaguars needed in their wide receiver room. Thomas is a bit raw on some of the finer points of wide receiver play, but there’s no doubting his potential to be a truly dynamic playmaker in the NFL.

Expert Commentary
Smith is a talented player with the upside to be something special, but it’s not quite there yet for him. He is in a nice situation with Josh Allen and Travon Walker on the outside, but will need some coaching up to get where he wants to be in the NFL.

Another All-Juice team selection, Jones has a chance to develop into a solid starter for the Jaguars down the road.
