Jaguars sign Torry Holt, Look to Add Another WR in the Draft

Torry Holt signed a a 3-year deal, according to Steve Wyche :
"The Jacksonville Jaguars made headway toward filling their void at wide receiver on Monday by signing veteran free-agent Torry Holt to a three-year deal that includes $4 million in guarantees and could be worth up to $20 million."

This move will finally give David Garrard a legitimate, proven WR. If Holt plays at an average of the last five years, he will get over 1,000 yards receiving. David Garrard now has a chance to prove that he is worth that big contract he received last season. I believe that he will, but time will tell.

Will the Jaguars target a WR in the draft? Of course they will! Jack Del Rio has said this off-season that he would like to add two WRs and two o-linemen. He has added one of each. Holt, and veteran OLT Tra Thomas, formerly of the Eagles.

I still see no possibility of the Jaguars drafting a WR in the top 10. Although, this draft will no doubt contain one WR and one o-lineman, barring any more Free Agent acquisitions.
