Although the Jaguars didn't necessarily need to address the cornerback postion in this draft, the risk versus reward seemed to be too great to pass up. Initially projected as a mid-second round pick, Colvin slipped into the fourth before hearing his name called. The reason for the slip? There is no doubt that a torn ACL during senior bowl practices caused a few teams to look elsewhere as Colvin's draft stock fell to a 6-7 round prediction.

Colvin says he's on pace to be cleared to participate in non-contact work by the start of training camp but there's always concern when a player is coming off a major knee injury. The tendency, especially for a young player, is to rush back before they're ready. The Jaguars have to make sure he doesn't jeopardize his future by doing too much too soon. - Michael DiRocco via NFL Nation (ESPN)

Whether Colvin will be considered a reach or a steal has yet to be determined. Regardless, Sooner Nation as well as the state of Oklahoma is pulling for this home grown product!
