With the #8 pick in the TST mock draft, Jacksonville selects...

With the 8th pick in the draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Jeremy Maclin - WR - Missouri

A lot of people are thinking the Jags will draft a QB of the future here, and they just might, especially with all the talk lately that USC's Mark Sanchez might be the best NFL QB in the draft this year.

The Jags QB situation should be familiar to Rams fans. They just sign David Garrard to a pricey contract a year ago, only to have him look entirely too mediocre for what he's being paid. Garrard doesn't have as many good season's on his resume as Bulger, but his '08 season should be enough for another year without anyone breathing down his neck...or without the team having to tie up a boatload of cash for two QBs.

Garrard ought to be rooting for the Jags to take Maclin, a guy who'll give him someone to pass to, other than Matt Jones.

Green Bay, represented by MathB, is on the clock. Get your pick to me ASAP.

I'd be surprised if JAX didn't take an o-lineman

Their offensive line was absolute garbage last year. And yes, their receivers have sucked for years, but the line is the culprit behind an entire offense that fell off the cliff last season, run game included.

We're going to have to move faster if we're gonna finish before the draft

Jax is a mess

You know, Jacksonville doesn’t seem like a tem in disarray… but when you look at their needs, their offense is a mess. They could use a tackle AND a guard on the offensive line, their receiving corps is pathetic and they have no one to back up MJD (no, im not sold on either Chauncey Washington or Alvin Pearman).

As badly as they need a legitimate threat on the outside, I agree with Taiko. The line influences everything. A deep threat won’t matter if Garrard doesnt have anytime to throw… and all the running backs in the world arent going to help if the line cant open up holes…

Cheers,
Matt
