WHERE THEY NEED HELP: Defensive end, safety
ANALYSIS: The Jaguars best pass rusher Aaron Kampman is recovering from his second knee surgery, and Jacksonville only had 26 sacks last year. The Jaguars defense was 28th in the NFL giving up 371.8 yards per game. They got little pass rush on opposing quarterbacks, and their safeties were overmatched. UCLA’s Rahim Moore is the best safety in the draft, but he is not projected to be picked until the end of the first round or early second round.
WHAT THEY SHOULD DO: Draft a defensive end. Da’Quan Bowers of Clemson, Cameron Jordan of California and J.J. Watt of Wisconsin are all available.
WHERE THEY ARE EXPECTED TO USE THE FIRST PICK: Whether it is concern over his knee surgery, or teams filling other needs, Bowers is available, and Jacksonville gets a steal here. People watching the draft will see Bowers sitting at a table watching himself drop later in the draft then he should similar to Aaron Rodgers with Green Bay and Warren Sapp to Tampa. Bowers and Jacksonville will get the last laugh.

United Professional Football Fans of America
Hi and welcome to the site. Hope you enjoy the dialogue and feel free to share your thoughts. Please refrain from overly abusive comments, bad language, etc. Let's keep this as clean as possible, OK?
The NFL and the NFLPA (Players Association) are currently embroiled in an attempt to work out a new CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement), either through mediation or court or some combination of both, but what about the fans? What word do the fans have in the process? Actually, and I do mean "actually", the fans have as much a say as the owners and players. Now mind you, that's a bold statement, but one that merits consideration.
Without support from the fans, the owners would make no money to pay the players. The players, naturally, would not be playing for free. This is not to mention all the other costs to run the NFL. So the fans, I mean the average fan like you and I, are funding everything to allow professional football to exist. Everything, think about that for a minute. Tickets, TV contracts, revenue from merchandise sales, etc, are all fan driven. When it comes to the present negotiations between the owners and the players, where is the representative for the fans? Below, is a sample of UPFFoA's solution to the NFL's 18 game season that the players are opposed to and the owners want. It's not perfect, but works.
I think if the owners and players cannot come to an agreement in some kind of reasonable time frame, (say around the draft) then they need to be reminded that if the fans decided to strike, where would the NFL collectively stand? Fourth down from their own one yard line with one second to go, no time outs and with no fans in the stands to watch! Go to UPFFoA on facebook for more ...D4I
