The Jacksonville Jaguars are one team in the top five of the 2015 NFL Draft who are unlikely to target either Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston. With Blake Bortles readying for year two under center in Jacksonville, the Jags could look towards strengthening their defense with the #3 pick.
One option potentially available to the team is Florida Gators defensive end Dante Fowler, who is slated to visit both the Jags and Tennessee Titans (#2) before the draft.
"I've been talking to some teams, but I haven't really done any visits just because of my pro day and how far it was pushed back," Fowler said, via NFL.com. "But my schedule is going to be really busy after my pro day. The day of my pro day, or the next day, I have to go to the Jaguars, then after that, I have to meet with the Titans. Then, some other teams. Things will start picking up for me."
Picking up a talented rusher on the edge could be a huge boon for a Jags pass defense that struggled creating turnovers in 2015. However, Fowler is just one of several prospects the Jags are likely to consider up to the opening of the draft on April 30th.
