Quote:I know we've talked about all of these over the years and the Jaguars have had more than their share of doozies. I'm sure I missed a few, but I do believe this is a good representation of the worst. Which one is the worst for you?

For me, any trade up and miss scenario is going to be near the top of the list because of the additional damage trading up does. (Have we ever traded up and nailed it?) With that said, the trading up for Gabbert and missing out on MVP candidate and future HOFer J. J. Watt is the worst in my opinion. For a long time I thought it was the trade up for Derrick Harvey and that one was really bad as well, but as bad as Gabbert was on his own it's being made even worse with how good J.J. Watt is and exacerbated further by him being in our division.

Trading up for Blackmon with a decent QB in Tannehill and stud MLB in Kuechley still sitting there was pretty bad as well and they would have still been sitting there had we not traded up. Bleh.

The Matt Jones pick was terrible too with Aaron Rodgers still sitting there, but I can understand not going after Rodgers having just drafted Leftwich and thinking he was the guy at the time. I can't give a pass for taking a project WR in the 1st round though.

This thread needs to be checkmark, how can you possible pick just one of those horrendous blunders.

Yes, it's improvement, but it's Blaine Gabbert 2012 level improvement. - Pirkster

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.

	Blank #2
	Taking Reggie Williams 9th overall in 2004, Roethlisberger goes 11th.
