**4\. EVP influence.** The Jaguars in Coen's first season as head coach established themselves as one of the NFL's toughest, most-physical teams – something Coen cited as a goal throughout his first offseason with the organization. Coen on Thursday cited Boselli – a Pro Football Hall of Fame left tackle and the first player inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars – as a major factor in the franchise holding true to that approach. "If they don't play hard, it's hard for Tony to get around that – regardless of position," Coen said. "I appreciate that about Tony because it's our culture. It's what we want to be, is physical and tough. That can't be something that we sacrifice." Gladstone indicated during the same exchange that if a player can't block or tackle it's hard to fit with the organization.
**5\. BAP?** Gladstone on the concept of drafting "best available player" versus drafting for need: "I think you'd like to say it's going to best player available. It's always going to come with a little nuance. You're going to compare across positions. Where there's a clear visual for contributions and a vision from our coaching staff to see that player's skillset come to life, you would typically appreciate that fact that could come to life sooner than later. All that stuff has to be weighed against each other. When you have two like players and one position allows maybe an earlier runway, you lean towards that direction. But it's not so black and white all the time. That's the type of dynamic you would want to be able to walk in at each pick point with, the idea that we're not pigeonholed to one or two positions, but we have all of them where we feel comfortable taking a shot if the right or best player presents themselves."
**5a. Quotable.** Gladstone: "We'll really focus on taking players that we feel have a very clear fit within the way we operate, regardless of what that might mean in terms of the outward perspective. It's what fits us. It's what makes sense to us. At the end of the day if they help us win football games, that's a win for the Jaguars."
