1. (8) Eugene Monroe, OT

Blogged under Bloglockers, The Draft Report, Front Page, Jaguar Headlines, General by admin on Saturday 25 April 2009 at 7:18 pm

The Jaguars pulled a surprise by selecting OT Eugene Monroe in the first round with WR Michael Crabtree still on the board.  But, offensive tackle was a huge need for the Jags and Monroe should start right away.  Monroe is a big guy at 6′5″, 310 pounds but he tends to be a finesse player.  That won’t cut it in Jacksonville where they love to run the football.  Monroe played 4 seasons with the Virginia Cavaliers playing in 47 games (29 starts).  This was a good pick for the Jags as Monroe should help solidify the O-Line for a long, long time.
