KANSAS CITY https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Cam-Robinson-Jersey , Mo. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars were so confident in their future behind Blake Bortles that they selected running back Leonard Fournette rather than a quarterback with the No. 4 pick in last year’s draft.They could have had Patrick Mahomes, who went six spots later to Kansas City.The two quarterbacks — for Jacksonville, what is and could have been — were both on display Sunday, and Bortles responded with an afternoon to forget.He threw four interceptions, was stripped while getting sacked, turned the ball over twice more on downs and generally had all kinds of trouble with the NFL’s worst defense in a 30-14 loss to the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium .“I can’t throw four picks,” he said. “Hard to win when you turn the ball over that many times.”Now, the Jaguars (3-2) are hardly going to give up on Bortles, especially after leading them to the AFC title game last year. But in a showdown between two of the top contenders to reach it this year, the former first-round pick put the weight of the loss squarely on his shoulders.“We had a little bit of bad fortune. Had a tipped pick in the end zone Tashaun Gipson Color Rush Jersey , had a screen get picked. Got to find a way to see that and not let that happen,” said Bortles, who finished 33 of 61 for 430 yards and accounted for two TDs, though most of that offense came as the Jaguars played from behind.“It’s stuff we’ve got to try to eliminate. It’s a group effort,” he said. “We all got to lock in and be better. But I think we’ve got a chance to get hot now and go win three in a row.”As for Mahomes? He threw for 313 yards and ran for a touchdown against the league’s No. 1 defense, and made so many improvisational plays that it left several Jacksonville defenders tipping their caps.“He’s a good kid. They got a good thing going up here,” Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. “They got a lot of weapons. They got a lot of trick ’em stuff. They’re good. I can’t really sit here and talk mess, because they beat us, so they’re good.”It wasn’t exactly a fair fight, at least where Bortles is concerned.Fournette was inactive with a hamstring injury Dawuane Smoot Jersey , and the Jaguars lost backup Corey Grant during the game, leaving their running attack to banged-up T.J. Yeldon and journeyman Brandon Wilds.Throw in an injury to left tackle Josh Wells and their offense became one-dimensional.Then there was the sieve-like showing of the offensive line, which allowed five sacks and 11 hurries to a defense that had been ranked last in the NFL in yards allowed. If not for some nifty escape moves by Bortles, he probably would have gone down another handful of times.“We’ve just got to do a better job. We’ve got to protect better, we’ve got to make better throws, we’ve got to make catches down there when we have it,” Marrone said, lamenting their inability to score in the red zone in particular. “I think everyone knows we all have to do a better job down there.”What makes the performance Sunday even more maddening was the fact that Jacksonville was coming off 30-12 victory over the New York Jets in which Bortles and the offense were crisp and efficient, and that in turn came after a 9-6 loss to the Tennessee Titans in which they could do little right.“We have to find a way to make plays early, sustain drives and get it rolling https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Taven-Bryan-Jersey ,” Bortles said. “I felt like we waited until we were down in a bad place and decided we wanted to play, and we can’t let that happen. We have to start from the beginning, at the first snap, playing as hard as we can play to do everything we can to be successful and score points.” The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected University of Florida offensive lineman Jawaan Taylor with the No. 35 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft after trading up with the Oakland Raiders.

The Jaguars were expected to bolster their offensive line in the draft and decided to address it in second round with the player many mocked the Jaguars to take with the No. 7 overall pick.The Jaguars actually gained a pick in the deal for Taylor, giving up their 2nd round pick and fourth round pick, but got back the Raiders second round pick, fifth round pick and seventh round pick.The Jaguars currently have a logjam of guys to compete for the starting right tackle position and Taylor should slot right into the competition and be the likely favorite. Offensive line was a big issue for the Jaguars last season, in large part because the team was starting backups of backups of backups of guys just signed the week prior by the end of the season. Taylor played predominantly right tackle for Florida since he was a freshman, having a cup of coffee as a left tackle for the final two games of his Sophomore season Myles Jack Color Rush Jersey , but outside of that was always on the right side. That’s exactly where he will slot in with the Jaguars and should be their Week 1 starter at right tackle.Our own Filip Prius gives his quick scouting report:Jawaan TaylorDespite reported medical red flags with concerns about Taylor’s knee and back, Taylor was one of the most durable offensive lineman in the SEC over the last three years, never missing a game. Although predominantly a right tackle, Taylor had a few spot starts at left tackle as injuries required. After attending University of Florida’s summer camp as a three-star guard recruit out of Cocoa High School, a then-383-pound Taylor “labored and limped” through his workout and knew he had to lose a substantial amount of weight to earn a spot on the Gators roster. Through a serious diet regimen where he cut out chips and hostess cakes and three daily workouts, he dropped 50 pounds and got down to 335 his senior year at Coca, earning an offer from Florida in late November. Taylor is an impressive physical specimen with extremely long, strong 35”+ arms and explosive lower body that affords him tremendous leg drive off the snap as a run blocker. Taylor’s athletic profile is incomplete as he was unable to compete in the NFL draft process.Taylor has a reputation of being a mauler in the run game and was one of the highest-rated run blockers in the country per Pro Football Focus. Taylor shows expedient footwork for his size and does a good job of mirroring in space but will suffer from balance issues, especially against rushers that are gifted at converting speed to power. Taylor needs more mental refinement and discipline in his game as early movement/false starts could be a potential issue, and with that being one of Cam Robinson’s issues as a rookie Abry Jones Jersey , this could be a less than an ideal pairing in this regard. Teams have discussed moving Taylor to guard, and the Ravens were reportedly split 50/50 on Taylor and Marquise Brown, with Ravens beat reporter Jeff Zrebiec revealing the Ravens would have moved Taylor inside. In Jacksonville, Taylor would likely compete with Will Richardson at right tackle with the loser being kicked inside to right guard after the sun sets on A.J. Cann’s tenure in Jacksonville. Outside of medical, the concern for Taylor would be whether he would fall back to his old eating habits after having life-changing money and becoming too comfortable as a professional.
