There are actually a number of fans that wish the Jags to select an o-lineman (or WR) in the first round and a QB in the second. 

I think that if they identify a QB they deem a potential franchise starter - then they have to take him early. 
It's too big of a need for the team right now to roll the dice on guys falling or not falling to your later picks. 
Getting your guy at your first pick or trading up to get him puts you more firmly in the driver's seat. 
While it may turn out to be possible to wait, it may not be.

I'm not opposed to drafting an OL or WR in the first. But if and only if they've identified a quality, franchise QB candidate in the 2nd. How many times have we discussed on here passing on the QB in the first and looking back like wth? The problem is when we draft a QB in the first, we whiff Gene style..... I haven't been able to go back and read this thread in full yet, but is the Ohio State kid draft eligible this year? If so, what is his and Grier projected round at? Would y'all be happy with those?
