Poll: Which is the worst Jaguars draft blunder of all time?
Trading up for Derrick Harvey a.k.a. Raphael in 2008.
Beating the clots at the end of the 2011 season and handing them Andrew Luck in the draft.
Trading up for Justin Blackmon in 2012, meanwhile Tannehill and Kuechley are taken a few picks later.
Trading up for Gabbert in 2011, J.J. Watt is then taken by the tinhorns with the pick right after Gabbert.
Taking a Punter in the 3rd round of the 2012 draft, meanwhile Russell Wilson is picked 5 picks later.
Taking college QB Matt Jones in the 1st round in 2005 and making him a WR a position he has not previously played. Oh yeah and Aaron Rodgers is taken 3 picks later.
Taking R. Jay Soward in the 1st round of the 2000 draft.
corn
Blank #2
Taking Reggie Williams 9th overall in 2004, Roethlisberger goes 11th.

I'll take "Drafting Byron Leftwich" for $500 please.

 

Not because Leftwich was so terrible in and of himself, but because it caused:

 

The hurried departure of Mark Brunell under embarrassing circumstances (Bursar Sac anyone?..)

Wasting David Garrard for four prime years when he eventually proved to be the better successor to Brunell anyways.

Caused Shack Harris to desperately overreach in the next two drafts and pick both Matt Jones and Reggie Williams at #1.

Sent the fan base into as divisive of a period as I've ever experienced as a fan of any franchise.

(And as people have been referencing since the Vic days, caused us to not draft Roethlisberger the next year...)

 

So this one pick screwed up the futures of two better QB's, caused us to waste two successive #1 picks on two substance abusing knuckleheads, and stirred up all kinds of problems with our fanbase.
