Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio acknowledged in a recent interview that this year's class of rockies will be most impacted by the lengthy NFL lockout. Jacksonville likely won't rush first-round draft pick Blaine Gabbert into starting this season because of veteran quarterback David Garrard's presence, but the lockout may have helped make the decision for them. "I think certainly we took him high (10th overall) because we think he has talent and we believe long term he has a chance to be special," Del Rio said. "In the short term, is it impacted? Absolutely, it's impacted. I mean, the guy who has the most to learn, the most to do, is the quarterback. Just think about going through the progress of the play, getting the play called at the line of scrimmage, making the adjustments ... making sure everyone is lined up properly, making a 'check' if there's another 'check' that goes with the play. It's very complex at our level, and a lot goes into it. That's for every position. But for the quarterback, it is so much more. "I think that's an awful lot to ask a young man to come in a couple of weeks and get it all and have it down pat. I think it takes a little time. Certainly not having an offseason sets that process back, but we're no different than a lot of teams. We understand that."
