Is Jacksonville Where First Round Picks Go To Die?
|
In the early years the Jags were off to a good start with their first rounders with guys like Tony Boselli, Kevin Hardy, Fred Taylor, Donovan Darius. It got a little hit-and-miss after that. From 2008 on though things really hit the skids. It is not just that the picks were bad, they are almost all high picks.
2008 8 Derrick Harvey Defensive end Florida [ 2009 8 Eugene Monroe Offensive tackle Virginia 2010 10 Tyson Alualu Defensive tackle California 2011 10 Blaine Gabbert Quarterback Missouri 2012 5 Justin Blackmon Wide receiver Oklahoma State 2013 2 Luke Joeckel Offensive tackle Texas A&M 2014 3 Blake Bortles Quarterback UCF 2015 3 Dante Fowler Jr. Defensive end Florida 2016 5 Jalen Ramsey † Cornerback Florida State 2017 4 Leonard Fournette Running Back LSU 2018 29 Taven Bryan Defensive tackle Florida Ramsey was pretty good but seems to be falling off the rails a bit. Fournette had a decent rookie season but injuries have slowed him down of late (who saw that coming  ) and 3.8 YPC is nothing special. Bryan is still new.Rest of those guys are pretty bad. If I was picked first round by the Jags I would 100% pull an Eli Manning. ![[Image: V9hW2kPAQr8S1Jxg.jpg]](https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/V9hW2kPAQr8S1Jxg.jpg)

What was the thought process behind this post? Doesn't appear too thought out. Who on this list are you willing to brag about? I see Lewan as the lone one. Looks pretty Jaguar-isk.
2008 Chris Johnson 2009 Kenny Britt 2010 Derrick Morgan 2011 Jake Locker 2012 Kendall Wright 2013 Chance Warmack 2014 Taylor Lewan 2015 Marcus Mariota 2016 Jack Conklin 2017 Corey Davis 2017 Adoree' Jackson 2018 Rashaan Evans ![[Image: Ben-Roethlisberger_Lerentee-McCary-Sack_...ayoffs.jpg]](http://steelcurtainrising.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Ben-Roethlisberger_Lerentee-McCary-Sack_Steelers_Jaguars_playoffs.jpg)
I guess we can add first rd picks to the list of things that go to Jacksonville to die. We’ll put it right behind class, integrity, hope, and self-respect.

You lost me at Mariota-stud. On LF, you may want to take a look at his stats. Do you think Henry is a bust? And Bryan is a rookie on a stacked defense.

Chris Johnson was trash after his 2nd season in the league though he had one legendary season.

Jaguars tried to buy a championship but the owner was so dumb he forgot the most important piece: A Quarterback... lol

CJ2k was a flash in the pan. His career was over before you blinked your eyes. Fred Taylor would be in the HOF with the exact same stats if he were wearing a different Jersey.

Looks pretty Jaguar-isk. There is more than just Lewan on that list, Johnson was good, Britt has had good years, as has Morgan. Heck, even Locker looked good for a bit. Those are mostly decent players. The Tacks draft looks much better during the Gene Smiff years and even the early Caldwell. I will take our more recent drafts tho. Yes, it's improvement, but it's Blaine Gabbert 2012 level improvement. - Pirkster The Home Hypnotist! Media on the Brain Link! Quote:Peyton must store oxygen in that forehead of his.

A lot of Eddie’s carries got cut short.... by the endzone. Amazing how he has only 2 more rushing TDs on 300 more carries and was considered a 'power back.' Seemed like Fred could find the endzone from a lot further away. Yes, it's improvement, but it's Blaine Gabbert 2012 level improvement. - Pirkster The Home Hypnotist! Media on the Brain Link!
