With the 8th Pick in the 2009 Stampede Blue Community Mock Draft, Jacksonville selects...

by Brad Wells on Apr 2, 2009 8:13 AM EDT in Community Mock Draft

Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri

8. Jacksonville Jaguars

Drafter: Skywalker

Reasons for drafting: "With Crabtree off the board and the Jaguars in DIRE NEED of a wide receiver I believe this is the way to go. People are saying go Mark Sanchez with this pick but I don't think so. Garrard is more than capable right now. With Porter released, Jones released and no true number 1 wide receiver on their roster its easy to make this pick. Maclin might be a little bit of a stretch but in my opinion a top ten pick. Wide receivers are boom or bust in the top half of the first round but even knowing that, the Jags have to make this pick."

Just wanted to point out

That your jersey pic for Maclin has his name spelled wrong. Just wanted you to know.

And yes, everyone, I still read this thing everyday. Keep up the good work everyone.

I also wish I had time and motivation to blog at Speed Blue Nation
