Quote:I actually really like this pick. Would have loved to see a DB, but it's nice to see this team really committing to improving the offensive line, including bringing in competition for last year's prized free agent that played like an undrafted scrub.

 

If Cann beats Beadles for a starting job, does that officially bring Beadles into the Hugh Douglas/Jerry Porter realm of Jaguar free agent signings?

I love this pick, and as it turns out, it was an absolute necessity.

 

Everyone thinks we have this easy schedule.

 

Take a look at the DTs this team will face.

 

Week 1, Carolina-Star Lotuleilei

Week 2, Miami-Ndamukong Suh and Jordan Phillips

Week 3, New England-Malcolm Brown

Week 4 & 14 Indy-???

Week 5, Tampa- Gerald McCoy

Week 6 & 17 Houston-This is a little different.  Wilfork will play on the nose, and while this guy named J.J. Watt is technically a DE, many of his plays he ends up going against a G.

Week 7, Buffalo-Marcel Dareus and Kyle Williams

Week 9, NY Jets-Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson, Leonard Williams

Week 10 Baltimore-Timmy Jernigan

Week 11 & 13 Tennessee

Week 12 San Diego-DE Corey Liuget often rushes over a G

Week 15 Atlanta-Paul Soliai

Week 16 New Orleans

 

 

That is a tremendous lineup of DTs that would challenge the best OLs.  We need size, ability, and depth in our interior three.

 

The Cann selection, in addition to Wisniewski, gives us all of that.
