"Derek Carr was the No. 2 quarterback on the Jaguars’ board, but they might have missed out on him, as well, because Oakland selected him with the fourth pick of the second round -- three spots ahead of the Jaguars."
I am just inferring from several quotes from Dave since the draft. All paraphrased...Bortles was far and away #1 player, they never seriously considered DE in the first round, if Clowney was available at 3 they would have traded down to get picks + Evans/Watkins/Matthews, they liked Evans over Watkins, Carr was the #2 QB but their second scenario if Bortles was gone was take WR then trade back up to get Teddy.

 

Inferring from those tidbits that we know, I think the WR/Teddy scenario was assuming that Carr would be off the board by then as he was heavily rumored to go to any of the Cardinals, Browns, or Vikings. If they traded down too far and Bortles, Evans, and Watkins were all gone then I think (think) they would have taken Carr with that pick in the first round.
