Draft Result

Drafted in the 2009 Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2nd round with the #7 pick.
Some will criticize this pick because they already drafted Eugene Monroe but Jacksonville needed two tackles and got them in this draft. Eben Britton will make a great compliment on the other side to Eugene Monroe.
