2008 RECORD: 5-11
LAST SEASON: Devastated by injuries along offensive line and dumbfounded by chemistry issues in locker room, Jaguars finished last in AFC South.
THEY NEED: Help everywhere, especially at receiver. Owner Wayne Weaver cleaned house, parting with veteran RB Fred Taylor, LB Mike Peterson, CB Drayton Florence, DE Paul Spicer, LT Khalif Barnes, and WRs Jerry Porter, Matt Jones and Reggie Williams.
THEY DON'T NEED: Another first-round pick from Florida. The last two, S Reggie Nelson in 2007 and DE Derrick Harvey last year, have failed to meet expectations.
POSSIBLE FIRST PICK: WRs Crabtree or Jeremy Maclin, Orakpo, Monroe, Andre Smith.
OUTLOOK: With new general manager Gene Smith calling the shots, the Jaguars hope to change their first-round fortunes. None of the franchise's previous six first-rounders has made a Pro Bowl.
