Ever wonder what sort of stories some of those older buildings in Downtown Jacksonville have? What's presently The Carling sure has one. It's the former site of Hotel Roosevelt, a luxury hotel that caught on fire in 1963, killing 22 people - a larger death toll than the well-known Great Fire of 1901.

Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon has been suspended for the first four games of the 2013 season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

The suspension will hamper the Jaguars chances of getting off to a fast start in 2013 as Blackmon figured to be an important part of the team's offense.

The second-year player issued the following statement:

I've made a mistake and I have no excuse. I am truly sorry and disappointed in myself for putting the Jaguars in this situation, and I look forward to putting this behind me and maturing and growing as a person. I will have a productive training camp and pre-season with my team, and during the suspension I will work hard to stay in top football shape and be ready to help the Jaguars when I return. I have chosen to be accountable for my poor decision, and I sincerely apologize to my teammates, coaches, the front office and Jaguars fans for the impact of my mistake on the team.

The NFL Draft has come and gone, and the Jaguars, for all practical purposes, have upgraded their roster (their defense in particular) and made moves toward a more physical defense. Most of you probably know about Luke Joeckel, the Jaguars first-round pick, but what about the other players?

Let's take a look at the Jaguars 2013 draft class.

The Jaguars opted for safe rather than sexy with their first round selection in the 2013 NFL Draft, selecting Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel with the second overall selection.

Joeckel was one of five offensive lineman selected in the top 10 picks, signalling either a robust crop of lineman or a weak crop of skill-position players in this year's draft.

Rounds two and three of the draft are Friday night, and the Jaguars are rumored to have a quarterback in mind for their second-round pick. Three "big names" are still available at the position: Geno Smith, Matt Barkley and Ryan Nassib. Full coverage of the Jaguars draft picks will be up once the remaining selections are made.
