3. Jacksonville Jaguars

Johnny Manziel
QB, Texas A&M

After addressing defensive line in free agency, Jacksonville aims to fill their vacant quarterback position at #3. Offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch is fascinated by the scrambling QB, making Johnny Manziel the ideal candidate. Manziel is the polar opposite of the sitting duck, “ghost seeing” Gabbert. He’s a magician at eluding pressure and finding throwing lanes despite his stature. Playing behind an offensive line that allowed 50 sacks in 2013, mobility is a priceless commodity. There is risk here obviously, but the reward is bringing legitimacy to the franchise.
