Best 5th Round Pick in Jaguars History

#6

Quote:I think this is the hardest pick yet.  Scobee or Sensabaugh.  Its not quite apples to apples since the best kickers in a draft usually go in the later rounds while the best safeties obviously can go first.  So by definition Scobee should be better at his position than Sensabaugh since kicker is less valued.

 

Anyways, after we let Sensabaugh go he ended up starting for the Cowboys for 4 or 5 years.  He'd still be starting in the league had he decided not to retire.  He ended up being a pretty solid player.  Was dumb on our part to let him go.  

 

I ended up going with Scobee just because I think he is a better kicker than Sensabaugh was a safety... and because of all the bigtime money kicks he has made for us.  But I was tempted to pick Sensabaugh just because its harder to find a solid starter at a skill position later in the draft than it is to find a kicker.
 

I think Nwaneri has to be in that mix. He was the Jags starting RG for several years. I don't think Sensabaugh was any better a safety than Nwaneri was a guard. Scobee was/is a better PK, but you can easily get good PKs without drafting them.
