Jacksonville takes OT Monroe

The third offensive tackle taken in the first eight picks, and it's obvious that NFL coaches and execs are committed to protecting their quarterbacks. Not sure who the best of this bunch will be, but all three tackles taken so far (and Michael Oher from Mississippi) will be serviceable linemen for years to come.

With Maurice Jones-Drew resigned, and the Jags looking to improve their offensive play (perhaps to keep the Indianapolis Colts' offense off the field, which they've been great at the past three seasons), this pick makes sense. There might be other receivers available in the later rounds to complement newly signed Torry Holt.

Monroe seems relieved as he hugs the breath out of his mom, and he should be. But it won't last long. Lining up against Kyle Vandenbosch, Dwight Freeney and Mario Williams twice a year is going to give him nightmares.

Edit: Deion likes the socks!
