The Jacksonville Jaguars are definitely in the market for a quarterback after last season and with another top five pick in the draft the team will be able to have its chance to take someone like Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel or Blake Bortles, but could they also add someone like AJ McCarron, Derek Carr or Aaron Murray in the later rounds of the draft?
According to Pro Football Talk, owner Shad Khan said to reporters that the team is likely to take a quarterback in the draft and added that they might end up taking two by the time things are over. The Houston Texans have the number one pick and the Rams are second and they could be in a position to trade, so the Jags will need to watch out for the teams above them at three in the Browns and Raiders, as they could sneak up to snag whoever the Texans don't draft.
If all goes right for the Jags, they will have one of the big three names in Manziel, Bridgewater or Bortles and later in the draft they could select someone like AJ McCarron, Derek Carr or Aaron Murray or Zach Mettenberger and all those names would be intriguing fits for the franchise. The team has the third pick in the draft with the Texans at one, Rams at number two and that could get traded, while the Browns and Raiders round out the top five and the Vikings are another team that needs a QB and they pick eighth.
Last season the Jaguars struggled to a 4-12 finish after being 2-14 the previous year and now they are looking to build for the future.
"Everybody knows we're going to draft a quarterback - maybe two," Khan said.
