10) Cordell Taylor - A first day pick who didn't even play a full season's worth of games during his stay in Jax. While Mike Logan (who was drafted a year earlier) wasn't all that great of a DB, at least he played in more games.



9) Renaldo Wynn - Only had 27 sacks in his career - not too bad...if he was a late round pick or a DT. Problem was, he was a DE and was the 21st overall pick in the 1997 draft.



8) Reggie Williams - While he did put up decent numbers for a time, he never lived up to being a top 10 pick. To quote a certain someone on ESPN's 1st Take - "He couldn't stay off the WEEEEEEEEEED..."



7) Andre Branch - A few folks had projected him to be a 1st round pick. Those few were way off base. Almost like Renaldo Wynn, except he couldn't stop the run.



6) Bryan Anger - Picking a punter in the 3rd round is bad enough. Picking an AVERAGE-AT-BEST punter in the 3rd round is worse.



5) Justin Blackmon - Talentwise, he lives up to his draft status. However, he choose WEEEEEED over football, which got him more suspensions than I can count. He never played more than 2 seasons worth of games.



4) Matt Jones - He was drafted in the 1st round as a WR - with no experience prior at said position. Then there's the nickname that was given to him - "Coke Zero".....



3) Derrick Harvey - Hands down the WORST defensive player the Jags ever drafted. 8 sacks in just around 3 seasons? That doesn't even cut it for a late round pick, let alone a top 10 pick.



2) Blaine Gabbert - He played scared all three years in Jax. Granted, he was dropped into the worst circumstances that any QB can be dropped into, but his pocket presence was bad even before he was drafted. Hell, it was bad even before he was recruited by Mizzou. He would have been #1 on this list, but at least he played more than one season and didn't have a bad attitude, which brings us to.......



1) R. Jay Soward - This piece of garbage not only was trouble coming out of USC, but he was non-productive when he hit the league. This fool wouldn't even come to practice unless Tom Coughlin sent a limo to pick him up from his home to take him there. To this day, he remains the only player Tom Coughlin failed to properly mold into a solid player....but that says far more about Soward than it does Coughlin. The worst part? He he only recorded 14 catches for 154 yards and 1 TD - for his CAREER. He is basically the equivalent of the NHL's Alexandre Daigle, who is currently known as the worst NHL draft pick ever in 1993.





'Dis'- Honorable mention - Dwayne Gratz, Eben Britton, Khalif Barnes, Mike Pearson (the OT), Larry Smith, Will Rackley, Luke Joeckel



Note: I'm only counting players drafted by the Jaguars. That said, if I were to count more, Gene Smith would be #1 six hands down
