I agree about Newton and his ability to rush the passer from the inside. Unfortunately, both those guys should be long gone when the Jaguars pick in round 1. The wide receiver class is very deep again and the possibility of Franklin/Worthy in round 2 would be difficult to pass on. The Jaguars could still get a very good interior OL in round 1 and a center in round 3 (trading up). No doubt this team has other needs such as interior DL and possibly another pass rusher which can be addressed either in free agency or later in the draft.

Ok, you said Washington so I wasn't sure if you meant Fautanu. He would be a solid pick up to help this oline as well.  I like this oline class so we should be able to to improve the oline in a number of different rounds like we could have last year if they just pick good football players.  Their draft board has been horrendous as of late and it questions if they even watch tape on these guys or watch them play so I dunno.  I don't think any other team in this league would have taken Strange over Torrence if they watched both play last year

I have a feeling that's not the 1st time I'll mix up Fuaga and Fautanu! They have the same initials, played in the Pac-12, played on the offensive line and both seem to have Hawaiin names. As you said, both guys would be good for our line. Fuaga is currently rated a top 15 pick while Fautanu is late 1st/early 2nd. I echo your thoughts on them taking Strange over Torrence. It's things like that drive me crazy on draft day!
