Most of you have probably already seen this, but if you haven't, it's a must-see:

If you've been following me here or on Twitter, you may know that I've repeatedly said I refuse to cover the draft in any major detail until the beginning of March. Today is that day.

I've been diving into the draft, especially at the top end since that's where the Jaguars pick, and one thing is becoming apparent. The Jaguars aren't likely to get to Morris Claiborne with the 7th pick. The mock draft I'm currently working collaboratively on has him going 5th.

That said, there's a lot of talent at the top end of this draft. Two quarterbacks will most likely be taken in the top 5, making the Jaguars' 7th pick essentially the 5th non-quarterback pick of the draft.

We'll be beginning to get deeper in the draft over the next couple of weeks. The beginning of free agency will probably put the draft on the back burner for a little while, but we'll get right back to it once things die back down.

ESPN announced today that Bill Polian would be joining their squad of mediocre analysts. This is something I take issue with, as it's just another reason for me to detest the four-letter network. The idea of Bill Polian being an analyst is ludicrous to me.

To say that Polian experienced success as a GM is an understatement. His Bills teams went to four straight Super Bowls, losing all four. He led the Panthers within a game of the Super Bowl in just their second year of existence, and he brought the Colts some level of respectability, building two Super Bowl squads and winning the big game once. Yes, the guy can put together a team.

My problem with him is he treats the media -- all media -- like garbage, especially bloggers. The fact that he's been added to ESPN is laughable. He'll likely give us a lot of solid information that Trent Dilfer and Herm Edwards could never dream of providing, but I'm afraid I'll never be able to respect his insight. Hell, I'm likely to pay devil's advocate just because I can't stand the thought of him being right.

I'd like to take this moment to thank ESPN for adding Bill Polian to their crew. The move only drives me farther from watching ESPN productions than I had already been. For that, ESPN, I thank you.

Mario Manningham could be a key piece in helping the Jaguars resurrect their passing game.

The Jaguars' biggest need by far is at wide receiver. There's a couple of routes the Jaguars could take in fixing their league worst unit, but we've seen how the Jaguars have done when trying to find a top tier receiver.

My solution to that problem would be to bring in multiple second tier guys. If there's an elite guy, go for him, but the Jaguars need depth as well. That's why they should be targeting guys like Pierre Garçon and Mario Manningham. They are solid receivers that make the defense focus on multiple legitimate targets.

Frankly, it's not as if the Jaguars don't have any guys for Blaine Gabbert to throw to. Marcedes Lewis presents a challenge to any defense, and Mike Thomas would make an excellent target over the middle if there's a couple of legitimate threats on the outside.

The premise of my thoughts is in putting the Jaguars' eggs in multiple baskets. They shouldn't shy away from paying wide receivers, but they need to be as smart with receivers as they are with other positions.

It’s no secret that the Jaguars most pressing need headed into this offseason is at the Wide Receiver position. During the 2011 season, the position was a revolving door for the Jaguars. Jason Hill, the starter to begin the season, was cut around the midway point of the year. After receiving a contract extension, Mike Thomas didn’t live up to expectations. Mike Sims-Walker was even brought back. There was no consistency in Jacksonville at the position this past season, and that’s about to change.

Here's a great video from Jaguars.com of John Oehser asking Paul Kuharsky about his thoughts on the AFC South and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Can we please let David Garrard pursue another opportunity in peace?

It's a calm offseason Saturday, so I'm going to dig deep in the bag of topics and put former Jaguars quarterback, David Garrard out of sight and out of mind. Frankly, he deserves it and so do we.

David Garrard was the Jaguars' starting quarterback from the 2007 season through the 2010 season. In that time, he took the Jaguars to the playoffs, kept an under-talented team in playoff contention into December in 2009, and nearly led the Jaguars to a division title in 2010 with next to no defensive help whatsoever. Come on guys. Let's give him a break.

This topic was brought to the forefront of my mind because I just left Big Cat Country, where there is an article by Alfie Crow highlighting the fact that Garrard is looking forward to free agency, it's an exciting time in his career, etc. No problem there. My problem is with the perception that David Garrard can't play, which is exhibited in one or two of the comments on the article.

Garrard can play. One of the easiest ways to look at a quarterback is to look at his touchdown to interception ratio. Garrard has thrown 89 touchdowns to 54 interceptions over the course of his career completing 61.6% of his passes. No, those aren't out of this world numbers, but they're solid at worst. The idea that Garrard can't play is ridiculous.

In 2010, his last season with the Jaguars, Garrard threw 23 touchdowns to 15 interceptions completing 64.5% of his passes. To top that off, most of his interceptions came in a few very poor performances. He threw multiple interceptions in three games during the 2010 season. If we subtract those games (I know, you can't arbitrarily ignore games, blah, blah, blah...), he would have thrown 19 touchdowns to just 6 interceptions. That looks like a quarterback that can play in the NFL.

I'm glad Garrard is trying to stay in the NFL, and I really hope he goes somewhere that he can start. Providing that he's back to 100%, he can still make a very positive impact for his team, especially if all the pressure isn't on the offense to score every possession. Good luck to David Garrard, and I wish him nothing but success in the future.
