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.

Quote:another point on Rodgers, wasn't Kyle Boller considered a better prospect than Rodgers? I remember the videos of Boller throwing 70 yards from his knee and stuff like that. Cal produced system QB's like Boller and Rodgers every season. They never translated to the NFL so I don't remember him being a must have after you looked deeper at him. Rodgers is an exception to the Rule. Prospects like Rodgers fail 9 times of 10. Rodgers was the 10th one. It's no excuse for picking a QB turned WR based on a few highlight catches and a good 40 time
 

Yes, Rodgers was thought to be a guy who benefited from a system coming out, which is likely why he fell so near the end of the first round.

 

It's a GM's job to recognize talent, and it's quite the indictment that so many of them couldn't in his case.
