Quote:I get you want high performers with high picks.  Every Jaguars fan gets that.


 

But to say Cyprien is a wasted pick if he performs at Darius' level is silly, especially considering he was picked in the second round, not the first like Darius.


 

Furthermore, Darius played good football for the Jaguars during his stint here.  Was a he a perennial All Pro like Brian Dawkins?  No.  But he was a quality starter and enforcer in the secondary.  He had a career that many first round picks wish they had.

 

Don't let prior regimes first round failures warp your perspective.

 

If any of the prior first round picks performed with the level of play, consistency and longevity as Darius, they wouldn't be deemed failures, and you know it.
