PrintChris Steuber of Scout.com reports that the Jaguars attended a Texas A&M practice, with Aggies linebacker Von Miller being the player they were looking at. In addition, Texas A&M QB Jerrod Johnson is considered by many to be a late 1st/2nd round pick. If the Jaguars are serious about getting a QB next April, Johnson would be a candidate.
Steuber also reported the Jaguars sent scouts to Auburn a few days ago. While no players were mentioned specifically, OT Lee Ziemba is an interesting player. Ziemba has started every game since coming to Auburn in 2007 and is one of the top offensive line prospects in the country. In addition, LB Josh Bynes could be a player the Jaguars would want to look at. Although the Jaguars traded for Kirk Morrision in the off season, Bynes is a big hitting MLB.
In addition, the Jaguars have contacted Florida State about the Seminoles practice schedule, according to Charlie Bernstein. Christian Ponder is the obvious target there. Ponder was graded as the #1 QB in the country according to National, above even Jake Locker.

Christian Ponder...please God
I do not like FSU. I honestly couldn’t care less about what happens with their season or program. HOWEVER, I am praying that the Jags are able to get Ponder in the 2011 draft. That kid is legit, and will be the face of our Jaguars for years and years.
+1 Ponder rules.
However, I hope we don’t have a chorus of annoying college fans telling us if we draft their schools QB they will buy season tickets…again.
Please, Noles fans…don’t lower yourselves to the level of gators fans with their crying about TT.
I doubt there will be the cult around Ponder that Tebow had. Outside of them playing at high profile Florida schools, very different circumstances.

I hate you forever for making fun of our love for Tebow
but its okay cuz its ridiculous for my other gator fans to be so commited to him anyways. Go Jaguars :)

I have no problem with Ponder, but we’ll likely have to finish 3-13 or worse to be able to draft him, barring a trade-up. Fans’ dilemma brewing.
Its a little early for that projection...
We still have to see who sucks and is drafting ahead of us. Also, how the colleges/players year shakes out. Ponder may be the 3rd or 4th QB taken.
1. Locker, Luck, Mallet and a bunch of other guys are all high on the board. If those guys light it up, they may go ahead of Ponder. I hope so – I want Ponder.
2. If teams with QBs in place end up ahead of us, Ponder could fall to us. Rams, Broncos, Steelers, Browns, Lions, Raiders, Texans, and Jets all have starting QBs in place. Who knows how the season will end. That’s why we play.
No dilemna. Root for 16-0 and when the season ends we go from there.
That's basically what I'm hoping for too,
but at this point, that’s the most likely scenario. I would personally prefer Andrew Luck or Jake Locker over Ponder, but I would have no complaints with taking Ponder.
IMO, the interesting one is Von Miller. Most have Miller as a 3-4 LB. I wonder……

The first round QB talent is good enough
Either Ponder can fall and be the 3rd or 4th QB off the board, or Jags get a different QB in the first round which will probably be fine; Luck out of Stanford impresses me.
I agree
I want luck, locker, Ponder, then etc in that order if we were to draft a QB

My gut is telling me thàt luck is going to be our guy or Gene is going to pull anther tyson by shocking everyone with who we pick, pissing kiper off, and getting all of the Espn guys up our butts but afterwords they all say man Gene knows what he is doing
In God I trust but Gene is second

Luck is my favorite of all the guys eligible to come out next year. But I am not certain he will come out though. He will only be a RS-soph this year and he comes from a pretty well-to-do family. I could see him sticking around at least one more year.

Said he is going to stay in school.

If a Top 5 pick is staring him in the face, that’ll change

he has said that
and has mentioned two to three times that he wants to finish his degree. That speaks alot for his talent that people continue to mention he being drafted next year. With so many QBs going next year he would be smart to stay, to ensure he will be #1 the year he goes.
I Think

Yeah
I agree. He has really good arm strength, good accuracy in general, and is an athlete when pressured. I think he would be a projected first round pick if the QB class next year wasn’t so good. Locker, Ponder, Mallett and possibly another are going in the first alone.

maybe we can get Ponder with the 32nd pick in the 1st?
