The Jacksonville Jaguars have a history of inexplicable draft moves, highlighted by using a 2005 first round pick on a drugged out QB with the intention of converting him to wide receiver. It looked like more of the same during last week’s draft when they nabbed punter (PUNTER!) Bryan Anger in the third round. What the critics and haters failed to take into account is the added value Anger brings to the table. Check the back of his card to see the many ways Anger can help the Jags.

In his case, the dust is more like potentially deadly toxic fumes.

With the Jacksonville Jaguars re-signing defensive end Jeremy Mincey and the recent acquisition of rookie Andre Branch in last weekend’s draft, there’s a good chance that veteran Aaron Kampman could end up being released.
Kampman has undergone three surgeries over the past three years. I hate to say it, but it looks like injuries have gotten the best of him, after only playing...

The Jacksonville Jaguars traded up to the No. 5 spot in the NFL Draft to reel in wide receiver Justin Blackmon.
Fantasy Spin:
While quarterback Blaine Gabbert had a horrendous rookie campaign, he did not have much help as the Jaguars had one of the very worst receiving corps in the NFL, especially since top target Mike Thomas gave up on the team down the stretch. So while Jacksonville...

5. WR Justin Blackmon AI normally don’t like when bad teams move up because they have so many needs, but everyone said there were 6 blue chip prospects in this draft class and the Jaguars were in a bad spot at 7. If I’m going to knock the Buccaneers for trading out of the top 6 for just a 4th round pick, I have to praise the Jaguars for trading up into the top 6 for just a 4th...

Like mock drafts, draft grades are completely useless, don't indicate future success, and have absolutely no bearing on what teams do in the future in terms of drafting popular players (see Tim Tebow saga). Still, that doesn't prevent the woefully ignorant blogosphere from chalking up individual draft grades, and that's exactly what I'm all about. I didn't do...

When looking at a team’s draft class I tend to combine it with the free agency period as well and after this weekend, I would give the Jacksonville Jaguars a solid B+/A- in 2012 . They entered the offseason with needs at cornerback, wide receiver, pass rusher and backup quarterback; The Jaguars filled most of these spots via free agency and entered the Draft with no major holes...
