In the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected the quarterback they hope will be the future in Blake Bortles. Early in the second round on Friday with the 39th overall pick, they got him some fantastic help in the form of Marqise Lee out of USC.

For the past few years, Lee has been one of the most prolific wide receivers in the country, especially for the years that he was hooked up with Matt Barkley at quarterback. Last season he battled some issues with injury, coaching as well as the team not being able to settle for much at the quarterback position with Barkley gone.

Still, Lee finished up his career with with over 3,600 yards receiving and 29 touchdowns. What also makes Lee a good fit for anyone is his versatility with the way that he can contribute on special teams as well in both the kick and punt return games.

This was a no-brainer pick for the Jags as they had to do something to make sure that Bortles has every opportunity to succeed, plus they need a wideout with the questions surrounding Justin Blackmon.
