NFL Mock Draft 2015 First Round: Where will Marcus Mariota fall?

<p>Let’s go for a little hometown love in Jacksonville. They missed it with Tim Tebow, but they can regain it back with Dante Fowler.</p> <p>And with Blake Bortles in the future, Mariota is not going here.</p> <p>Fowler is a very smart and brilliant outside linebacker who can play defensive end as well. He is a bit raw, but anybody who can pick up Will Muschamp’s complex defensive schemes and thrive in them has proven he can develop.</p> <p>As a native of Saint Petersburg, Fla., Fowler would be a perfect hometown pick, even though Tampa Bay would obviously be better in that regard. As a junior last year he had eight and a half sacks and picked up three in the bowl game against East Carolina.</p> <p>Jacksonville needs to reshape their defense, and Fowler is a pick you can’t really go wrong with. They’ve already focused on upgrading their offense enough. It’s time to ride or die with Blake Bortles and the offense they’ve tried to put together through the draft. Either accept it or blow that up next year.</p> <p>Right now, they should focus on defense.</p>. Outside Linebacker. Florida Gators. Dante Fowler. 3. player. 52
