Is Jacksonville Where First Round Picks Go To Die?

#1

In the early years the Jags were off to a good start with their first rounders with guys like Tony Boselli, Kevin Hardy, Fred Taylor, Donovan Darius. It got a little hit-and-miss after that. From 2008 on though things really hit the skids. It is not just that the picks were bad, they are almost all high picks.

2008      8            Derrick Harvey  Defensive end   Florida  [
2009      8            Eugene Monroe              Offensive tackle              Virginia
2010      10          Tyson Alualu     Defensive tackle              California          
2011      10          Blaine Gabbert  Quarterback      Missouri            
2012      5            Justin Blackmon              Wide receiver    Oklahoma State             
2013      2            Luke Joeckel      Offensive tackle              Texas A&M
2014      3            Blake Bortles     Quarterback      UCF      
2015      3            Dante Fowler Jr.              Defensive end   Florida 
2016      5            Jalen Ramsey † Cornerback        Florida State     
2017      4            Leonard Fournette         Running Back    LSU       
2018      29          Taven Bryan      Defensive tackle              Florida 



Ramsey was pretty good but seems to be falling off the rails a bit. Fournette had a decent rookie season but injuries have slowed him down of late (who saw that coming  Cool  ) and 3.8 YPC is nothing special. Bryan is still new.

Rest of those guys are pretty bad. 

If I was picked first round by the Jags I would 100% pull an Eli Manning.
