The Jacksonville Jaguars have some needs to address during the second day of the NFL draft.

The Jaguars selected Florida's Taven Bryan with the 29th pick in the first round Thursday night http://www.ramsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-john-franklin-myers-jersey , adding to an already stout defensive front.

Top executive Tom Coughlin and general manager Dave Caldwell insisted they drafted the best player available, choosing Bryan instead of filling holes. Plugging those spots should come next.

Jacksonville has the 61st and 93rd overall picks in the second and third rounds, respectively, Friday. The Jags could go in a number of directions with those selections, including addressing tight end, offensive line, linebacker Korey Toomer Color Rush Jersey , receiver or cornerback.

The team parted ways with veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis last month and lost veteran linebacker Paul Posluszny to retirement. They also let receiver Allen Robinson and cornerback Aaron Colvin sign elsewhere in free agency.

No one would be surprised to see Coughlin and Caldwell address the offensive line, either. Right guard A.J. Cann is entering the final year of his contract, and right tackle Jermey Parnell has dealt with groin and knee injuries in recent years.

Heightening the challenge will be the caliber of the opponent. Carolina ranks fifth in defense, including seventh against the pass Chiefs Cheap Jerseys , and third in sacks.“I feel confident I will be able to go out there and play the way I’ve always played, but I’ve been off for seven games and been out for a while,” Rodgers said on Wednesday. “So it’s going to take getting out there, getting that first pass, getting that first hit, and I’ll probably settle in.”Rodgers has gone through seven practices, including Saturday before the team departed for Carolina.
