Jacksonville Jaguars: Grade for 2011 NFL Draft picks

jaguarshel042611_optThe Jacksonville Jaguars got their quarterback of the future in Blaine Gabbert, who was not taken by either Arizona, Tennessee and Minnesota. The question is will coach Jack Del Rio be around to see Gabbert develop. Jacksonville needed help along the defensive line, and did not address a pressing need at all. Jacksonville did not get any help for a pass rush that only had 26 sacks last year, and was 28th in overall defense. They took cornerbacks in the fourth and fifth rounds, but that is not enough. The grade obviously goes up if Gabbert turns into a franchise quarterback. However there were too many holes to fill and Jacksonville did not address them.
