7. A.J. Bouye joins youth movement in Jacksonville
As recently as Oct. 2, A.J. Bouye was Houston' 4th CB. Now, he's "king of the class" in free agency. @AlbertBreer: https://t.co/gYgsYFVH24 pic.twitter.com/RYVHgiljfg

The Jacksonville Jaguars have assembled a nice young group of defenders in recent years, including Dante Fowler Jr., Yannick Ngakoue, Sheldon Day, Myles Jack and Jalen Ramsey.
There is still some work left to fill out the defensive secondary, however. Davon House isn’t a serviceable second corner to play opposite Ramsey, and Prince Amukamara is an unrestricted free agent.
Red-hot free agent A.J. Bouye would be a fantastic addition to what Jacksonville is building on the defensive side of the ball.
He played in the slot primarily for Houston last year and can also play safety in certain packages. But he’s also got to be itching to prove he’s a legitimate top corner in this league, which means lining up on the outside and dominating.
The Jags have both the need and the means to bring a talented cornerback like Bouye into the fold. Teaming him up with Ramsey would give them quite the young duo, and it would keep him in the AFC South, where he’s played since joining Houston as an undrafted free agent out of UCF in 2013.
