It’s not just the fact that the Jacksonville Jaguars drafted quarterback Blaine Gabbert with the 10th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, one spot ahead of where their division rivals (the Houston Texans) would grab a defensive end that’s bound of the Hall of Fame (J.J. Watt). It’s also the fact that the Jaguars traded up to the 10th overall pick, from the 17th overall pick (surrendering a second round pick to move up that far), and then still took the guy who would turn out to be an enormous draft bust.

The Jaguars’ loss was Houston’s gain, obviously, as Watt is one of only two players in NFL history to win the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award three times.
