Josh Gattis was a nice pick by the Jaguars.  If they can toughen him up he might start alongside first round pick Reggie Nelson at some point in his career.  Gattis is 6′1″, 206 pounds and he’s fast as he can run a 4.4 40.  Still, he has to do a better job of making tackles in the open field and defend the run with a little more vigor.  He played in 47 games (33 starts) at Wake Forest and he made 259 tackles, broke up 19 passes, had 12 interceptions (169 return yards), forced 6 fumbles and recovered 5 fumbles.  Look for Gattis to play on most of the special teams and be a backup as a rookie.  But Gattis has nice upside and was a good pick in the 5th round.
