Jacoby: Bortles is no hero (1:51)
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
You may be surprised by what Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said are the most important things he wants to see from the team's draft picks (DT Taven Bryan and WR DJ Chark): "I'm not looking for the competition part. I want them to be coachable and available. I don't want to see a little thing. I don't want to see them in the training room. I want to see them paying attention. I want to see them at the front of the line. I want to see what type of leadership they have. Those are the things I'm looking for and basically, to be honest with you, are they good listeners? I don't want to get into, ‘Hey, they need to keep their mouths shut.' Can they listen?' … I've always tried to advise those players, ‘hey, just listen first.' And I tell a story I learned a long time ago: God gave you two ears and one mouth so you listen twice as much as you talk. I believe that's what smart people do."

I mean, it's like the ideal job in my opinion."
