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 Ventral 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.

Muma was said to be a pure BPA pick. Miller? well I don't have any idea.  My theory on both picks is a situation that can be run into even doing mock drafts. Tell me it hasn't happen to you doing mock drafts?

It is your pick. You scan your list of players and all that are graded in this area are already off YOUR board. You try to trade back, but the fish just are not biting. So basically it is "a big rock, you and a hard place.  After saying "ah poop" you are faced with making a less than optimal decision.
