Dwayne Gratz - DB - Jaguars

Jaguars signed third-round CB Dwayne Gratz to a four-year contract.

The Jags are desperate for the top part of their draft class to make an instant impact, and Gratz is no different. He'll step right in as a Week 1 starter and will be expected to deal with some of the game's No. 1 wideouts. The Jags' only other options are Alan Ball and Marcus Trufant. It's going to be a secondary worth attacking in fantasy matchups.

Johnathan Cyprien - DB - Jaguars

Jaguars signed second-round SS Johnathan Cyprien to a four-year contract.

Along with No. 2 overall pick Luke Joeckel, the Jags are counting on Cyprien to step right in as a starter and make a big impact. He was reportedly the MVP of OTAs and minicamps and figures to be even better once the pads come on. Cyprien couples excellent range with the toughness of an in-the-box safety.

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew (Lisfranc surgery) said his foot is now healed and he's concentrating on strengthening his ankle.

The Lisfranc surgery is so brutal because players can't even run for months after it. Jones-Drew is finally able to exercise fully now. "The weight's going to come off as I work out," he said. "All I could do (after surgery) was eat. With this injury, you don't want to break the screws and have to get the surgery over again. I couldn't move." MJD remains questionable for the start of training camp.

Mike Brewster - C - Jaguars

The Florida Times Union thinks the Jaguars are "grooming" G/C Mike Brewster to be C Brad Meester's heir apparent.

Brewster, signed as an UDFA out of Ohio State last year, appeared in 12 games as a rookie. Per Pro Football Focus, he played a total of 556 snaps and received a negative grade in all seven starts at left guard. Meester was re-signed to a one-year deal, but the 36-year-old is approaching the end of his run.

Julian Stanford - LB - Jaguars

Jaguars OLB Julian Stanford has reportedly "turned some heads" during offseason workouts.

A undrafted free agent in 2012, Stanford will compete with Geno Hayes for a starting job in training camp. The Florida Times-Union considers Stanford and LaRoy Reynolds strong candidates for the 53-man roster.

Johnathan Cyprien - DB - Jaguars

The Florida Times-Union lists rookie SS Johnathan Cyprien as the Jaguars' MVP of OTAs and minicamps, "in a landslide."

The No. 33 overall pick, Cyprien is being counted on to play significant snaps as a rookie. The Jaguars expect him to open the season in a starting role as an in-the-box safety opposite Dwight Lowery.

Blaine Gabbert - QB - Jaguars

The Florida Times-Union expects Blaine Gabbert to win the Jaguars' starting quarterback job "barring a horrific August."

Gabbert will face competition from veteran Chad Henne, but is considered the favorite to open the season as the Week 1 starter. The Florida Times-Union doesn't list recently-claimed QB Mike Kafka in their initial projection of the Jaguars' 53-man roster.

Cameron Bradfield - T - Jaguars

The Jaguars are expected to use Cameron Bradfield in a swing tackle role.

Bradfield is currently blocked at both tackle spots by Luke Joeckel and Eugene Monroe, but is expected to see playing time at multiple positions on the offensive line. "He’s a very capable third, swing guy," GM Dave Caldwell said. "It’s hard to find a quality backup. We feel good with him there."

Mike Brown - WR - Jaguars

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell said he was impressed with WR Mike Brown this spring.

Caldwell mentioned Brown, along with Mo Massaquoi and Ace Sanders, as part of the "committee" to replace Justin Blackmon during his four-game suspension. Brown spent much of last season on the team's practice squad, but he drew Wes Welker comparisons from holdover WRs coach Jerry Sullivan. Behind Blackmon and Cecil Shorts, the Jaguars' receiver depth chart is wide open.

Lionel Smith - DB - Jaguars

Jaguars signed CB Lionel Smith, formerly of the Lions.

Smith was cut by the Lions last week. He spent all of 2012 on the practice squad, but he does possess solid athleticism -- 38-inch vertical and 4.41 forty.

Mike Kafka - QB - Jaguars

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell said Mike Kafka has "just as good an opportunity" to earn the starting job as Chad Henne, Blaine Gabbert, and Matt Scott.

We'll chalk this up as GM speak. Kafka is a bottom-of-the-roster talent, and he simply doesn't have an NFL arm. Kafka was claimed off waivers from the Patriots on Tuesday. Caldwell said he considered signing the soon-to-be 26-year-old earlier in the offseason, but he had already committed to New England.

Roy Miller - DL - Jaguars

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell says NT Roy Miller's knee tendinitis is no longer an issue.

Miller was still being held back in this week's minicamp, but Caldwell says the 310-pounder would suit up if he needed to play in a game this weekend. He'll be part of the rotation on the interior of Jags' defensive line.

Chad Henne - QB - Jaguars

Chad Henne feels he's getting a more realistic shot at the starting job this year than last.

The regime that drafted Blaine Gabbert is out and Gus Bradley is in. As was the case in Seattle, jobs will be awarded solely on performance -- not contract or draft status. "They're putting me in different spots, allowing me to get the 'one' reps and really allowing me to get involved with it," Henne said. We wouldn't expect Bradley to tap a winner of this battle until deep into training camp.

Brett Brackett - TE - Jaguars

Jaguars TE Brett Brackett underwent groin surgery Tuesday.

Brackett has never appeared in an NFL game since going undrafted out of Penn State in 2011. He spent last year on injured reserve with a knee injury. The pass-catching tight end is expected back to compete for a roster spot at training camp.

Justin Forsett - RB - Jaguars

Justin Forsett has been running with the starters during OTAs and minicamp.

With Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) still rehabbing away from the team, Forsett is getting a chance to establish himself. The career backup has just 341 carries across four NFL seasons, but has posted an impressive 4.87 YPC. Rookie Denard Robinson and Jordan Todman are rotating in behind Forsett.
