I still remember that Broncos game. Dude had 14 catches for 190 and he took Champ Bailey to school in that game. Granted Champ was at the end of his career, but still.

Just the classic #becausejaguars. We finally hit on a pick and off field issues [BLEEP] us and says nope, you lose again.

 
If I was GM, I'd have anyone I thought might wind up on our radar in the first round in the subsequent draft followed around campus for a week during the college football season.  Especially with rookie deals fully guaranteed now.  I bet had we done something like that with Blackmon we'd have seen all we needed to see.
