Post-draft team needs

With losing seasons in 7 of 8 years, if the GM isn't accountable - who is?

Seven years.

His first draft used Gene Smith's scouts and reports and it was a bad draft all around, not just for the Jags. Joeckel was a "can't miss" prospect in every pre-season write up. It's not like he reached for him.

The only other bad 1st round pick was Bortles. The Jags needed a franchise QB, and as it turns out there weren't any in either 2014 or 2015. Bad bad Caldwell for trying to luck out at a position of dire need, shame on you. Of course he drafted three Pro Bowl caliber players in that draft.

The other top ten picks were Fowler, Ramsey, Fournette, Allen, and Henderson. They were/are good to great players, no busts. The fact some are no longer on the team is due to Coughlin, not Caldwell. In retrospect I guess you think Caldwell should have known Coughlin was going to drive them away and chosen Coughlin-proof players instead.
