The Jaguars took two players in the sixth round and they’ve signed them both to four-year contracts.
Quarterback Brandon Allen and defensive end Tyrone Holmes became the first two members of the Jaguars’ draft class to agree to deals with the team. There are five other picks to sign before the Jaguars will have everyone under contract.
Allen was the only offensive player that the Jaguars selected with their seven picks after making 34 starts during his time at Arkansas. With Blake Bortles and Chad Henne locked into the top two spots of the depth chart, Allen will try to show enough promise to warrant a spot as the team’s No. 3 option.
Holmes led the FCS in sacks with 18 at Montana last season, which was enough for the Jaguars to use a pick to find out if his ability to get to the quarterback came with him to the NFL.
