Best 2nd Round Pick in Jaguars History

#16

This is the first really tough one I think.  Finally getting to pick between really good players.  Hard to vote against MJD.  Great kicker returner / backup RB his first few years.  then turned into a great starter.  TD producer.  Admittedly I was never as big a fan of MJD off the field and the way he left has definitely soured me some.  So hard to not let that cloud my vote.

 

In the end I went with Brackens.  MJD played at a high level longer and more consistently obviously.  But I thought Brackens at his peak was just as good if not better than MJD at his peak... and Brackens was doing it at a much more important position.  The only pass rusher we've ever had that other teams really had to fear.  That 1999 season he was a monster.  I still remember that pick 6 late in the game against the Ravens to put us in the lead.
