The Jacksonville Jaguars are making significant changes following a disappointing 4-13 season, highlighted by the dismissal of head coach Doug Pederson. Liam Coen, the former offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been appointed as the new head coach. The team is optimistic about the future, especially with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who is recovering from a shoulder surgery but remains committed to leading the Jaguars back to success.

Defense was a major weakness last season, ranking 31st overall, prompting the Jaguars to target improvements in their defensive line through the upcoming draft. With the fifth overall pick, they have a solid opportunity to bolster their roster. Last year's first-round selection, Brian Thomas Jr., proved to be a star, earning a Pro Bowl selection with impressive stats, including over 1,200 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
