The Blake Bortles era began in year two. The NFL draft brought Bortles, Marquise Lee, Allen Robinson and Brandon Linder to the Jaguar offense.  Aaron Colvin and Telvin Smith were drafted to begin re-building the defense.

Last year, the Jaguars finished 5-11 and it appeared the plan was working.  Bortles set new franchise passing records.  The draft added more young talent.
