Top 10 Prospects to Watch: Bowl Game Edition
As the bowl games approach, we have one last look at players before they begin the endless parade of underwear practices until April. The Jaguars have had an entire season to send scouts to see players who they want to bring in. Now, who should you be looking at in the coming weeks?
1. Brandon Spikes, MLB, Florida
Spikes has been on the Jaguars radar for some time, and may well be the BAP when the Jaguars pick in the middle of the first round this April. Although the Jags missed out on the USC linebackers, they'll have an oppurtunity to nab another great one in Spikes.
2. Case Keenum, QB, Houston
Keenum has been steadily growing on the Jaguars, culminating in a visit a few weeks ago. Depending on how things go for Keenum, he could launch himself into the 2nd-3rd rounds of the draft. However, he is still a Jr so he may elect to stay in school for another year in hopes of launching himself into the first round.
3. George Selvie, DE, South Florida
The Jaguars have been to several USF games this year, and in each they have looked at Selvie intently. Although Selvie has been dropping since his monster 2007 season, he is still a very good pass rush threat. While many draftniks peg Selvie as a 3-4 OLB, the Jaguars must feel differently about him.
4. Brandon Ghee, CB, Wake Forest
The Jaguars are high on Ghee and paid him a visit a few weeks ago. Ghee is the exact opposite of former Wake corner Alphonso Smith. Ghee is a large safety who keeps everything in front of him rather than the undersized, ball hawk Smith was.
5 Pat Angerer, LB, Iowa
The Jaguars have scouted a few Iowa games, but I don't have the fainest idea of who they're looking at. Angerer is a solid guy who could grow into a solid MLB while contributing initially on Special Teams. He was also the receptient of the Big 10's 2009 Outstanding sportsmanship award, something I'm sure Emepror Gene would like.
6. Greg Hardy, DE, Ole Miss
The Jaguars have been to several Rebels games and Hardy is another player who could help the Jaguars. While our last experience with taking a defensive end in the first round hasn't panned out as we've hoped, the second time might be the charm.
7. Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Williams is a solid DT who the Jaguars have seen up close a few times this year. Right now he is currently grading in the 2nd round, but we'll see where he ends up.
8. Taylor Mays, S, USC
Mays was one of the last first round possibilies the Jaguars took a look at and may be available when the Jaguars pick in the first round next year. With questions still a plenty in the defensive secondary, will the Jaguars dismiss his subpar senior year?
9. Kris O'Dowd, C, USC
Another Trojan, O'Dowd has been coming on as of late and may show enough to warrant him starting his rookie year. It is becoming clear the interior of the offensive line is in need of the same make over the tackles went last April.
10. Myron Rolle, S, Florida State
While he's not technically in any bowl games, Rolle's decision to come back to football will be interesting. He was thought to be a first round pick in last April's draft before deciding to attend Oxford. If he falls past the 2nd round simply because he might have some bad workouts, he'll be a steal.

It all depends
If he comes out now, he’s a 2nd-3rd round guy and would need a really good offseason to shoot into the 2nd half of the first round. If he stays and has another good year, he could be a first round player.

WHat happens if
He decide to stay in Houston? What will the Jaguars do. Will they draft a new QB then?
I think that is a huge question!

I Don't Think
Their decision to draft a quarterback rides on whether or not Keenum comes out. If they are thinking of drafting one, the will regardless. I think taking a quarterback anywhere in front of the third or behind is a waste of a draft pick. Last thing Garrard needs is somebody breathing down his neck.

I think
Keenum must be ignored. he played at the next up-and-coming texas tech (aka a team that runs spread all game and whose quarterbacks WONT HAVE SUCCESS in the NFL because of it). There are better QB options to be talked about such as Jake Locker and Tony Pike, just to name a few. I saw about 1 1/2 Houston games this year and don’t think we should give much thought to wasting a high round pick on Keenum. Other DT’s we should be more interested is someone like Vince Oghobaase from Duke. The guy could tear the NFL up. And here is a name that I have been very impressed with watcing play this year: Brandon Graham from Michigan. He led the nation in TFL and watched him sack Terrel Pryor n TWO consecutive plays. He looked ballin’

Word
I’m not a supporter of the sudden Keenum bandwagon. I’ve said before Houston is the next Hawaii, or like you said, Texas Tech

I hope it will shrink until Sunday
Boy if the Jags could win (somehow) on Sunday; they could have a playoff spot and a non-blackout game with it.
Thanks for the news Leopold!

Sadly, Wake isn't in a Bowl
Ghee is a good reliable corner though, strong tackler , physical, and smart.
Thought Wake was, whoops

Rolle
Seems like such a Gene Smith guy…. i could totatlly see that… and he is a very good player
Mays for some reason concerns me, same with Selvine.. Remember Harvey? Great bowl game semi good senior year?
Selvie
Word on the blogs is that he is a loafer. Doesn’t always goes 100%, takes plays off, etc. Though they said the same thing about Vontae Davis, the corner I wanted to draft, and he is second in the NFL for rookie interceptions.

Instead of Myron rolle, you I guess isn't playing in a bowl game
thus irrelevent. I would put Tim Tebow. It’s would the last time he plays in a college football game. Time for a last examination.

Mays is all hype
Current Phinsider Feud Points: 23
T.Lex doesn't want to be fed, he wants to hunt. Can't just suppress sixty five million years of gut instinct.
agree.
But I would possibly take on chance on Rolle. Obviously extremely smart and an excellent athlete. kind of like a perfect man it seems. but with a year off idk. we’ll see.

Yeah, maybe he'll impress in his workouts but it has been a year

I rather have a player who has contributed well all year than a guy who has an impressive combine. Am i right?

Was Rolle
Considered to be a first round pick last year had he come out. I remember him being talked about as going in the second or third.

Depending on who you talked to, yes
