When he took over as general manager in 2013, David Caldwell had a nice bit of draft capital to start his rebuild of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Unfortunately, the second overall pick in that draft (and the subsequent first or second pick of each of the following rounds) didn’t have the same value in what was a historically awful draft.
After taking their presumed left tackle of the future in Luke Joeckel at number 2 overall, the Jaguars took Johnathan Cyprien with the first pick of the second round. Many lauded both selections, claiming the Jaguars got arguably two top-15 players in the draft class.
