But with that in mind, I would add, we've had a lot of players who failed to live up to their draft status.  Not just gators.

In fairness to you, the only thing you needed to do was negate the original statement was to name one player.  

You did that.

In fairness to flsportsgod, Willie Jackson was not a Jaguars draft pick in the truest sense.  

He was originally drafted by the Cowboys, and wound up a Jaguar during the expansion draft.  Bobby McCray wound up being no great shakes for us, either.  I was a fan of his and thought he had potential to be an outstanding pass rusher, but he only had that one year.
