CAMP OBJECTIVES: Questions abound for the Jaguars, particularly on the offensive end of the football. Jimmy Smith retired following an illustrious 12-year career, meaning head coach Jack Del Rio and coordinator Carl Smith need to find a No. 1 receiver from the likes of Reggie Williams, Matt Jones, and Ernest Wilford. At running back, Fred Taylor appears done, so rookie Maurice Jones-Drew (UCLA) will be counted on to make an immediate impact. Another UCLA rookie, first-round pick Marcedes Lewis, projects as the team's No. 1 tight end. And that's before you get to the quarterback position, where oft-injured Byron Leftwich is the starter but reliable David Garrard lies in wait. The defense appears more stable, though the defection of Akin Ayodele to the Cowboys leaves a hole open at weakside linebacker. Top candidates to fill that slot include former Giant Nick Greisen, third-round draft pick Clint Ingram (Oklahoma), and Jorge Cordova, a third-round pick in 2004 who has missed the last two seasons with knee injuries. In the secondary, the Jags will look for strong safety Donovin Darius to return from the knee injury that sidelined him for most of 2005, and will need ex-Viking corner Brian Williams to prove himself worthy of the major free agent dollars the team committed to him in the offseason.
