The Facts:
Whether the Jaguars draft a tight end in the first round or not Saturday, they will have a roster spot for Brady next season. So said Jack Del Rio at the team's pre-draft news conference Tuesday. "There aren't a lot of tight ends who can do that [block defensive ends the way Brady can]," Del Rio said. "He can't play forever, but he's going to play this year."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Unfortunately, Brady, who's noted for his blocking, isn't the kind of receiving threat that Fantasy owners need at the position. George Wrighster has handled that role in the past, but the Jags still might choose a TE in the first round if UCLA's Marcedes Lewis or Georgia's Leonard Pope are on the board at No.28.
