Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell was dealt a tough hand when he took over as the main front office guy in 2013. The team was coming off the worst season in franchise history, and Caldwell needed to start rebuilding the team through the draft. Unfortunately, the 2013 draft was advertised as one of the weakest in NFL history, and it has certainly lived up to that billing thus far.
Slotted number 2 overall in that draft, the Jaguars opted to go with a “safe” pick in offensive tackle Luke Joeckel out of Texas A&M. Considered for most of the pre-draft process to be the best overall player, Joeckel fell to the second pick after the Kansas City Chiefs opted for Eric Fisher out of Central Michigan.
