Prior to re-signing quarterback Chad Henne on Friday, the Jaguars were considered one of the teams who might target a signal-caller at the top of the 2014 NFL Draft. Now sources within the NFL reportedly say that will not be the case.

Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union passed along the news.

League source on #Jaguars: "With Henne back, I don't expect them to take QB until 2nd round and maybe not until 3rd or 4th round."

If the report is true, then the Jaguars will have all options open with the No. 3 overall pick and could target a pass rusher like Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina -- if he is still available - or Buffalo's Khalil Mack, which would give them an elite player to fill a glaring weakness.
