The Jaguars drafted Justin Blackmon to give Blaine Gabbert a No. 1 receiver to work with. It certainly looked like things were going according to plan against Baltimore, as Blackmon led the team in receiving with four catches for 72 yards on eight targets.

Analysis: If you're going to keep a Jaguars receiver on your roster, make sure it's Blackmon. The next closest receiver in targets finished with three, so Gabbert clearly turns to his rookie wide receiver more than anyone else already. Blackmon averaged 18 yards per reception against the Ravens, and now has eight catches for 120 yards and a touchdown for nearly five quarters played this preseason. Laurent Robinson on the other hand has just one catch on seven targets in three games so far. As Gabbert continues to grow into his role in Jacksonville, it looks like he'll rely on Blackmon more than anyone else.
