OT. Notre Dame. Ronnie Stanley. 8. player. 52. <p>It looks like 2014 1st-round pick Blake Bortles is shaping up to be the franchsise quarterback. But 2013 No. 2 overall Luke Joekel isn’t panning out the way the Jaguars expected. You have to protect your franchise quarterback so left tackle must be addressed.</p>
<p>After everything Bortles has been through, the Jacksonville Jaguars owe him this pick. Bortles has been sacked 87 times in the 25 games he’s played for the Jaguars so far. As well has he’s played when protected, you can see how explosive the Jaguars offense can be.</p>
<p>Bortles offense is already fully loaded with T.J. Yeldon at RB and Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson at the WRs. The defense will be loaded with 2015 1st-round pick Dante Fowler back too. Only a solid left tackle would separate the Jaguars from the AFC South title.</p>
<p>So here at No. 8 overall, the Jaguars have to take a guy like Ronnie Stanley. His size, arm length, power and quick kick-slide are going to serve him well in the NFL. And suddenly this team is ready to start making playoff runs for years to come.</p>
