Julius Thomas and Doug Marrone Gives the Jacksonville Jaguars a High Grade – ESPN

"Best move: Without a doubt it was the addition of tight end Julius Thomas, who caught 108 passes for 1,275 yards and 24 touchdowns the past two seasons with the Denver Broncos. He’s not likely to match that production because his team’s quarterback isn’t veteran Peyton Manning anymore, but second-year Blake Bortles. However, Thomas does give the Jaguars the kind of player they haven’t had since receiver Jimmy Smith retired following the 2005 season: a go-to playmaker."

"The last Jaguar to reach double digits was former defensive Bobby McCray, who had 10 sacks in 2006. As ESPN’s Mike DiRocco pointed out, Jacksonville’s pass rush has been the worst in the NFL over the last eight seasons. The Jaguars recorded just 233 sacks between 2007-2014.And it’s not for lack of trying at the defensive end position. The team has spent high draft picks on the likes of Derrick Harvey and Andre Branchand brought in free agents like Aaron Kampman, to no avail."
