.... have the Gators produced a  DL or LB in the past 15 years that was actually worth of a 1st or 2nd round selection?  I know we've been burnt by 2 1st round picks (and even more significant if you factor in the trade-up with regard to Derek Harvey)

I hate revisionist history... and hindsight 20.20... all that...

BUUUUT

I know myself and many others on this board wanted the Raiders draft like two years in a row...

(The Year of the Bortles)
Mack round 1 --- a lot of people wanted this pick
Carr round 2 --- this one I got blasted for, heard people say the next Gabbert, now Oakland picked ahead of us in round 2 but had we not selected Bortles in round 1 perhaps they do instead of Mack, or maybe they select Barr (another OLB) and then the Vikings select Bortles....
But still... Oakland had a helluba draft in 2014

(The year of DFJ)
Cooper round 1 --- Robinson and Lee and Hurns were all rostered so this was almost never going to be the pick but man...but Lee might not have been, being he was our first round 2 guy... maybe we package picks to move up for carr in 2014....


We'd have Carr and Cooper (maybe still A-Rob) and Hurns...
Smith, Jack, and Mack at LB? fuhgetaboutit
if FA still fell the same still have DL of Campbell, Jackson, Jones, and Yannick

man o man... what might have been
