JACKSONVILLE – Call this a day for defense.
The Jaguars not only went that side of the ball with their first selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, they stayed there with their second Round 1 selection.
K'Lavon Chaisson, a defensive end/linebacker from Louisiana State University, late Thursday night became the Jaguars' second Round 1 selection of the '20 draft. The Jaguars selected him with the No. 20 overall selection, making the call around 10:35 Thursday.
The Jaguars selected Florida cornerback C.J. Henderson earlier in Round 1 with the No. 9 overall selection.
Chaisson (6-feet-3, 254 pounds), who forewent his senior year to enter the draft, served as team captain in 2019 and earned All-Southeastern Conference first-team honors. He was a three-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
He played in 26 games with 17 starts in college. He totaled 92 tackles, including 19.0 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks.

After the Jaguars took Henderson, the selections until No. 20 went as follows:
Alabama offensive tackle Jedrick Wills to the Cleveland Browns at No. 10, Louisville offensive tackle Mekhi Becton to the New York Jets at No.11, Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III to the Las Vegas Raiders at No. 12, Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at No. 13, South Carolina defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw to the San Francisco 49ers at No. 14, Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy to the Denver Broncos at No. 15, Clemson cornerback A.J.
