Even if he did, and I'm not conceding that, what about the other high picks he's spent on linebacker that have lead us to pushing money out to keep Oluokun?

Just because pff (and you) say Lloyd played well doesn't mean the drafting has been satisfactory, or even that Lloyd was worth the picks that were used to take him.

The Jags brass drafted a backup ILB too high in Muma.
A sin, but not too egregious. He has started four games and played significant snaps in 5 or 6 more. 
I didn't like the pick - but I sort of get it. LBs get hurt. You want a solid backup. 

Picking Ventrel Miller in the 4th last year was absolutely asinine IMO. 
I hate that move. 
But... it's a fourth round pick at the end of the day. so ... *shrug*

Lloyd has become a very good ILB. I don't understand the hate. 
Good pick, good player.
