Heading into the beginning of the regular season, there was plenty of hope for Jacksonville Jaguars fans in 2016. Sure, head coach Gus Bradley was coming back, but he finally had a seemingly talented roster to work with. Blake Bortles looked like a franchise quarterback and set team records in 2015 and he appeared to have a litany of weapons at his disposal. On the defensive side of the ball, the Jaguars added a handful of players who should have been upgrades (Malik Jackson, Dante Fowler Jr., Tashaun Gipson).
Of course, almost none of those beacons of hope lived up to the hype and the Jaguars finished 3-13 with yet another top 5 draft selection.
